Epic Games announced on October 20, 2026, that Nikki Freeman from the film Obsession is joining Fortnite as a playable skin. The collaboration, featuring actress Inde Navarrette, has triggered significant controversy among players who object to the character's inclusion in the battle royale title.
Critics argue that the skin trivializes the character's narrative, which involves psychological torment, loss of consent, and sexual violence. Detractors expressed discomfort that a victim of such trauma is being utilized for entertainment, with some social media users calling for a boycott of the game.
The backlash also targets specific cosmetic elements, including an emote that mimics a dinner scene from the movie. Some players feel that turning Nikki into a meme or a playable character overshadows the horrific experiences she endures within the film's plot.
Conversely, other players defend the addition, asserting that Nikki is a fictional character and that her presence in the game does not inherently disrespect her story. Supporters argue that purchasing the skin often reflects an appreciation for the character, while others suggest that her fictional status should not preclude her appearance in multimedia projects.
