Summary
Fortnitefans who were excited to grab a pair of Kicks on November 12 will have to wait a little longer before they’re available. TheFortniteteam seems to be constantly working on figuring out what’s next for the game, and Kicks stood out as an idea that could take the game in a bold new direction. Although shoes are a smaller detail of anyFortnitecharacter’s design, if they can be monetized, it’s important that players are satisfied with how well they’re displayed.
There have been many new developments making their way over toFortnite, and fans continue to guess what’s next with the title. Many gamers are keeping an eye out for December 6, whenFortniteOG is set to make a comebackfor good. In the meantime, Kicks have been a top priority for developers, even though they’re facing some hurdles.
The team behindFortniteshared on social media that Kicks will be delayed. ThenewFortnitecosmetic itemwas scheduled to be released as a part of the game’s 32.10 update, offering players a new way to accessorize. The developers have explained that a visual issue is holding things up, and once more information is available, it will be shared. Although this may be disappointing news for fans to hear, it makes plenty of sense that the team wants the release of Kicks to be as perfect as possible, considering all the hype that’s gone into their reveal so far.
Fortnite Delays Kicks Cosmetics
TheFortniteteam noted that players will still be able to unlock the Air Jordan 1 High OG Black Toe Reimagined Kicks inFortnite, but they won’t be able to equip them to their character for the time being. A lot of time and work seems to have gone intothe release ofFortnite’s Kicks, with unique collaborations that could draw attention and make Kicks more sought after. Kicks could lead to much more asFortnitecontinues to develop, but some players doubt their necessity. Releasing the cosmetics with a visual glitch could have damaged their reception.
The release of Kicks could kickstart a lot more when it comes toFortnite’s available cosmetics. There are plenty of skins that have alternate costumes, likethe multiple Eminem variants inFortnite. If Kicks succeed, they could justify the developers giving skins and accessories even more depth. Players could end up accessorizing with gloves, coats, and more. In addition, Kicks present the opportunity for players to give popular skins a personal touch so that they still stand out from the crowd. There are seemingly endless possibilities for creative directions thatFortnite’s new Kicks may be the first step toward. The in-game shoes need to stick their landing first, though.
