Not only does the Hot Marat emote bring players a free dance to add to their cosmetic item collects, as the dance is also the latest of promotional material for what looks certain to be a future crossover between Fortnite Battle Royale and the second Wreck It Ralph movie, Ralph Breaks the Internet. Near the end of the announcement video for the free cosmetic item making its way into the item shop, Wreck It Ralph breaks through the screen and then runs off after looking a tad startled.
The inclusion of Wreck It Ralph in the video showing off the free Hot Marat emote dance is the latest in sightings that the community for the battle royale title has seen in the past week.
From the discovery of a video in the marketing promotions folder of the title showing off Wreck It Ralph to the same video being seen played on the movie theater screen at Risky Reels, the free Hot Marat emote looks to signaling that an official announcement of a crossover between the recently released Disney movie of the second Wreck It Ralph film and Fortnite will be coming very soon. This would be the second major Disney movie crossover with the popular battle royale game, as the main villain of Avengers: Infinity War in Thanos appeared as a character in a limited time mode for the battle royale title previously.
