After a very long wait, fans will finally see Among Us cosmetics in Fortnite, according to a leaked video that teases new back bling and a unique dance emote.
While rumors have fallen through before, this leak was officially datamined. You can check out two minutes of footage on YouTube, which shows off the cosmetics in full:
Fans began to speculate about a crossover between Fortnite and the runaway hit Among Us back in August 2021, when the indie game was at the peak of its popularity.
Unfortunately, devs on the official Twitter page promptly squashed these rumors. But they did express a sincere interest in future collaboration:
In the leaked footage, players will soon have access to backpacks that look like Crewmates, as part of the Gaming Legends Series.
Not only will these backpacks include very color, but the back bling also keeps the same art design from Among Us. So, looking at the back bling head on will recreate the 2D look of that game in Fortnite.
The footage also shows that this crossover will be “introduced in chapter 3, season 3”, so fans can expect the new items pretty soon.
Lastly, the leak reveals a new dancing emote with multiple outfits, including Darth Vader. The emote is called a Distraction Dance, which makes perfect sense for the canon of Among Us.
Some fans are worried about how much these new cosmetics could cost in-game. For example, the Pac-Man back bling cost 500 V-Bucks. However, the demand for this crossover is probably going to cast any hesitation aside for most players.
Fortnite continues to stuff their newest season with more content than ever. In just the last couple days, other leaks have teased the possibility of throwable lightning storms, motorcycles, and first-person gameplay.
