As Epic Games reveals and rotate out Fortnite skins regularly, a number of their releases tend to go unnoticed. This applies differently to the game’s recently announced original skin, Hana, which has been called out for its uncanny resemblance to Jolyne Cujoh from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.

The design bears some comparable features to Jolyne’s default look — from the striking chartreuse-colored hair, navy jumpsuit with all-over light green patterns, and a cutout design that exposes the midriff area. Boarding is the thrill. Outrunning...

Druckmann noted that “By delaying that announcement a bit, we could play with the schedule more and we’re more conscious now about how we’re approaching production.” He elaborates that “there’s our [The ...
