With releasing its latest Fortnite update, Epic Games gave a surprise to players by introducing Raiden, the famous sidekick from Metal Gear, alongside Solid Snake. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the Raiden available in Fortnite is the version from Metal Gear Solid 2, not the recent Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
With this, players have the opportunity to play as Raiden; however, there is no skin featuring a naked Raiden. Despite the announced drawback, fans have expressed excitement for Raiden’s appearance; meanwhile, according to witnesses, there are slight changes in Raiden appearance particularly in the waist and bulge department. Meanwhile, it seems Epic Games has not included the famously epic backside of Solid Snake in this Fortnite crossover.
