It was an incredible year forFortnite. Not only did the year end with what must have beenFortnite’s biggest in-game event yet, Chapter 2’s conclusion, but all of 2021 feature huge events, crossovers, skin releases, and more. In fact, aFortniteplayer who slept through all of 2021 may wake up to findFortnite2022 nearly unrecognizable. A new TikTok video that’s gone viral captures this idea perfectly, showcasingFortniteat its most absurd and fun.
The video in question was shared by TikTok user real.life.banana and already has over 183 thousand likes. Funnily enough, it’s just their fourth video upload to TikTok, all of which carry the similar theme ofFortnitebeing completely ridiculous. Text in the video captures exactly what it’s about. It reads, “Naruto uses spider-man webs to kill the demogorgon then does the Renegade.” If that sounds like it could either be gibberish or a line fromReady Player One, then that’s the right idea about whatFortnite’s become.

Everything in the description is accurate.Fortnitefeatures skins both from the popular manga and animeNarutoand forStranger Things' monstrous Demogorgon villain. It also has a current gameplay gimmick that allows players to swing around the map usingSpider-Man’s web-slinger. And lastly,Fortnitealso features the Renegade dance as a microtransaction, too, the Renegade being a dance popularized on TikTok.Fortniteis home to all of these things and more.
What’s especially crazy about this shortFortnitevideo going viral is that this scenario isn’t odd or rare. It’s just two players using normal skins and emotes that are regularly available as part ofFortnite. TheSpider-Manweb-slingingis new and wild, admittedly, but it isn’t used in a particularly odd or impressive way. The video went viral seemingly solely due toFortnitebeingFortnite, and people enjoying it.
If asked to create a truly absurd situation,Fortniteplayerscould likely put together something much more complex and insane. There are dozens of crossover skins from across multiple franchises, across movies, TV, cartoons, music, and video games, with all of it being officially approved byFortnite’s partners. It’s unlike anything else in video games.
Odds are, this is only the start forFortnite, too. The popularity of theSpider-Manweb-swinging is certain to be seen as a challenge to Epic Games. Before long,Fortnitewill probably haveMetroidMorph Balling,Harry Pottermagic wands,Supermanlaser eyes, and more.Fortnite’s absurdity demands constant escalation, after all. It’s what players want.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
