Epic Games has pushed its battle royale title of Fortnite into being the top dog when it comes to major crossovers with other entertainment products. From having the main villain of Thanos from Marvel's Avenger's: Infinity War appear in Fortnite to having a whole set of skins created to celebrate the FIFA World Cup for 2018, Fortnite has had a few major partnerships for content in the past year. This trend continued this week when Epic Games and the National Football League or NFL announced a partnership that would see custom skins for all 32 NFL teams, a football glider, football related pickaxes and NFL football emote celebrations be added into Fortnite for players to purchase.
The NFL Football Fortnite skins and other cosmetic items will become available to players on Friday, November 9th. However, thanks to dataminers who were able to dig through the files of the recently implemented 6.22 patch for Fortnite, the community has gotten an early look at all of the NFL Football skins and cosmetic items that will be coming to the battle royale game on November 9th.
You can find all of the leaked skins, glider, pickaxes and emotes that were discovered in the 6.22 patch for the major partnership below.
