SpongeBob and Patrick are officially making their debut in Fortnite during this year’s Winterfest. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the popular game, although fans may be surprised by their role.
SpongeBob and Patrick as Sidekicks
Instead of appearing as skins, the beloved duo will join the game as Sidekicks. But what exactly does that mean? Sidekicks are a new feature in Fortnite, similar to Back Blings but with a twist. They do not provide any gameplay advantage; rather, they are designed for fun.
What Are Sidekicks?
- Sidekicks follow players around the game.
- They do emotes with players.
- Primarily for entertainment, offering moral support.
SpongeBob and Patrick will provide amusing commentary and join players in emotes, contributing to the lively atmosphere of the game. While some players hoped for full character skins, this unique use of the characters still adds to the enjoyment of the Winterfest experience.
Fortnite Winterfest Overview
Fortnite Winterfest occurs annually during the holiday season. The game transforms its map into a winter wonderland, complete with new skins and thematic updates. This year, alongside SpongeBob and Patrick, players can expect skins from popular franchises such as Harry Potter and Christmas-themed attire from Sabrina Carpenter.
Skin Availability
- Many skins are Christmas-themed.
- Some skins will be available for purchase.
- A limited number of skins can be collected for free at the Winterfest Lodge (one per day).
However, not every character will receive a holiday makeover, including SpongeBob and Patrick. This Winterfest promises various exciting collaborations and special content for players to enjoy.
