New Fortnite Leak Hints at Official Collaboration with "Shrek"

Dataminers of the popular battle royale Fortnite, which is also available on the Nintendo Switch line of consoles, have come across unexpected findings in the game's latest update files. It appears that players will soon be treated to a large-scale collaboration with the "Shrek" universe from DreamWorks studio.

Puss in Boots rushes to the island

While analyzing the recent patch files, insiders discovered encrypted data for a new sidekick. The description and animations of the uncovered model point almost entirely to the iconic Puss in Boots—one of the most famous characters from the Shrek franchise.

• The files contain hints at unique cosmetic items styled after DreamWorks.
• The appearance of Puss in Boots opens the door for full skins of Shrek himself, Fiona, or Donkey.
• There has been no official announcement from Epic Games yet, but such discoveries are usually confirmed in upcoming updates.

If the leak is confirmed, this will mark DreamWorks Animation's first official step in collaborations with Fortnite.
