Fortnite's Nikki Skin Ignites Controversy Among Horror Fans, Some Call for Boycott

A segment of Fortnite players is urging a boycott of Epic's battle royale title following the introduction of a skin based on Nikki Freeman from Obsession, portrayed by Inde Navarrette, which has triggered a backlash among fans.

On October 20, Epic Games announced that Nikki Freeman would be joining Fortnite in a special collaborative video featuring the character's actress, Inde Navarrette. While Obsession's popularity is undeniable — Nikki was among the most-searched Halloween costumes on Google this year — her addition as a purchasable skin in a video game is not sitting well with some fans.
