(via Google Translator), Fortnite is going to collaborate with South Korean Soccer superstar Son Heung-min.
Epic Games Korea, the domestic division of the game company, announced plans to expand the debut of Fortnite to the domestic market during a press conference on June 11 at the Andaz Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Despite Fortnite's global popularity, its player base in the Korean market is dipping gradually, and that is why Epic Games has planned so many things keeping in mind the Korean Fortnite fans, like a BTS collaboration as well besides Son's entry.
