The free-to-play battle royaleFortniteis known for its recognizable style, featuring colorful landscapes and items as well as iconic skins and emotes. Beyond originalFortnitecharacters, the game has collaborated with any number of celebrities, video games, TV shows, and movie franchises in order to bring fans familiar skins like Deadpool and John Wick. The latest Fortnite collaboration is with popular animeAttack on Titan,allowing players to obtain an Eren Jaeger skin, butFortnitewould benefit from moreAttack on Titanskins too.
Eren Jaeger is obtainable through the latestFortnitebattle pass as part of Chapter 4 Season 2. While Eren’s skin won’t be available until April 15, fans can purchase the battle pass now in anticipation of the skin alongside otherAttack on Titancosmetics and emotes. WhileEren Jaeger is the central protagonist ofAttack on Titanand an extremely powerful soldier, there are a few other characters from the manga and anime that would make for greatFortniteskins, including Mikasa Ackerman.

Who is Attack on Titan’s Mikasa Ackerman?
InAttack on Titan, Mikasa Ackerman is a central figure who is vitally important to Eren. After the death of her parents, Mikasa was taken in by Eren’s family, and she later enlisted in the Survey Corps to protect and support him. In the series, Mikasa is a powerful asset for the Survey Corps, even being called thebest soldier in the 104th Training Corps.
Mikasa’s protectiveness over Eren leads her to become a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, but that isn’t her only combative strength inAttack on Titan. During her military training,Mikasa’s genius and mental prowessbecame clear to the people around her, and her ability to use vertical maneuvering equipment with unmatched skill and efficiency makes her a true titan killer. Mikasa can be seen easily lifting adult men, and this power lends itself to her use of ranged Thunder Spears - large weapons that she can carry up to eight of at once before throwing them at enemies.
Mikasa’s Potential in Fortnite
While Eren Jaeger is a highly recognizable character, Mikasa is likely as recognizable to anime fans andjust as deserving of aFortniteskin as Eren. Even if fans don’t recognize Mikasa by name, her Survey Corps uniform is nearly identical to Eren’s, bearing what has become the iconicAttack on Titaninsignia. Thus, Mikasa’s costume would be simple to implement, allowing players who prefer female avatars to play as anAttack on Titancharacter as well.
Eren’s skin is set to be accompanied by a spray, back bling, an emote, an emoticon, an alternate outfit, a gun wrap, a banner icon, and a harvesting tool.Due to the similarities between Eren and Mikasa, a Mikasa skin could be accompanied by the sameAttack on Titancosmetics - aside from Eren’s personal outfit, but unique options could be possible for her model too. An emoticon featuring Mikasa instead of Eren and a spray that puts out Mikasa’s silhouette would be particularly valuable.
Ultimately,adding Mikasa Ackerman to the currentFortniteseasonwould only drive more players to purchase the battle pass and participate, which is the main goal of Epic Games at the end of the day. Since Eren’s skin isn’t available yet, it’s possible that Mikasa could still be added along with otherAttack on Titancharacters as purchaseable skins. Fans of the manga and anime can hold out hope, but Eren remains the only confirmedAttack on TitanFortniteskin for now.
