Fortnite Adds Alien's Ripley And Xenomorph, Live Now

Update: Fortnite has officially added Ellen Ripley and the Xenomorph from the legendary Alien franchise. The Xenomorph can be purchase with a tail back bling and Xeno Menace emote. Ripley, meanwhile, comes with a Weyland-Yutani cat carrier and her Nostromo Crew variant outfit. Season 6 is apparently scheduled to begin very soon, as well.

One very classic sci-fi horror series could be introduced to a new generation. It appears the battle royale game Fortnite is adding new content based on the Alien. The latest "Reality Log" broadcast points to a "warrant officer" coming to Fortnite, and it might be Ellen Ripley.

Ellen Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver in the Alien films, is a warrant officer. The audio transmission jokes about everything going exactly to plan on a space ship in 1986, which is the year that Aliens came out. The narrator of the audio log keeps burping and complaining about heartburn, which is surely a reference to an alien that will burst forth from his chest at any moment.

These Reality Log broadcasts historically signal an official announcement shortly, so keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest on whatever this teaser is pointing to.

Alien would be just the latest mega-franchise to come to Fortnite in a crossover event. Just recently, Ryu and Chun-Li from Street Fighter was added to the game, while Kratos from God of War and Master Chief from Halo were previously made available, just looking at video games alone.

Fortnite continues to grow and evolve with more challenges and things to do every week. To keep up with the latest developments, check out GameSpot's Fortnite Season 5, Week 13 Challenges Guide. The challenges will be live in the game tomorrow, and continue to tease mysteries surrounding the reality-colliding events we've seen.
