Fortnite adds another virtual influencer to its battle royale

Guggimon was a scary-looking rabbit-like creature that appeared to be an influencer on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Superplastic, which previously worked with the Gorillaz, created Guggimon. Now Janky, a streetwear feline (I believe), will be joining the battle royale. It's now available in Fortnite's item shop, starting tonight.
Although it may seem odd, Fortnite's metaverse has been steadily expanding to all facets of pop culture. Some CG characters who partner with Gucci or do Christies NFT drops don't feel out of place. This is also part of a growing trend for these virtual influencers to move beyond social media to places such as music videos and press conferences.
