Sooooo yet another update. Kratos can be used on the Xbox & I presume Switch versions of Fortnite. Once Chief comes, he’ll have a non-Minecraft appearance on a Nintendo console. 👀👀👀

I really don't know how much this counts, seeing as crossplay is in a legal grey area. It's no wonder why Sony was initially reluctant on allowing it for Fortnite, tho.
Well there’s been system exclusive costumes in the past. Sony is allowing people to buy Kratos on Switch & Xbox. That’s a pretty big deal.

Still, Chief is more likely than Kratos because of history of close relationships aka Switch ports and two Smash inclusions.
Oh of course. I was just talking about how crazy it is that the supposed “Nintendo appearance” rule doesn’t apply to him anymore. & it soon won’t apply to our boy.

CP 11 (Master Chief???): Possible reveal at E3, otherwise announced and released in Winter 2021

I imagine this is what we could possibly see. At this point a Microsoft character was announced for E3 twice now (sort of, Why not go for 3. Also I accept no head cannon where Master Chief is not finishing the fight...er's pass... Vol 2.

Chief being teased as coming to Smash Bros to end Microsoft's E3 press conference would be interesting

Chief being the final character would be amazing. But I’m betting on a Nintendo character being the finale.

The only questions about Chief is whether or not Microsoft would double dip in the same pass and if DoomSlayer is still in consideration since he's now Microsoft property.

The Western side of Pop Star.
I still don't see Chief as likely until the Master Chief Collection port is confirmed to exist. That would be more substantial than skins.

If the Slayer is in this pass, it would have been due to a deal having been done before the Bethesda acquisition, so nothing would be affected really.

Could've sworn the acquisition was well into it when the fighters for the second fighter pass were being decided, but okay then

Microsoft doesn’t officially own Bethesda until next summer when the deal is done. Also, I think MS would absolutely double dip. The question is whether or not Nintendo wants to or if they want to work with other companies.

& here’s more proof of Microsoft putting Chief everywhere they can. They’re really pushing him as an icon again.

I have an idea for Master Chief's stage

Installation 04: "The legendary Forerunner artifiact awaits"

The platform is located on the Pillar of Autumn during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. Occasionally, Wraiths will fire upon the stage causing a bit of damage to anyone caught in the line of fire.. A Hunter appears as a stage boss..

Also throughout the scene in the background, we'll see cameos from Tartarus, the Grunts, Fireteam Raven, etc.

I think stage gimmick can include teleportation grid like in Halo multiplayer. That would be fun.

If it looks good & has a good amount of content at launch, then I’m fine with the wait. This means I can wait a bit longer to buy a Series X too lol

Hopefull they’ll do a Halo themed console now to celebrate Infinite & the 20th anniversary.

Is it just me or does a fortnight inclusion just feel oddly disrespectful of the character. (Probably just me tho)
He's there alongside Kratos, Mando, Thanos, Venom and a whole bunch of Marvel characters among others
"Disrespectful" is the last word I'd use to describe it

Exactly, it means Microsoft is pushing him hard.. Thus, this also means they likely asked for Chief in Smash when Nintendo was negotiating for Banjo
I hope your right.

To me that makes it worst since it’s just whoring out popular thing (smash feels more respectful), idk it’s probably just because I don’t respect fortnight.

It’s less on Microsoft I’m more worried Nintendo will be the barrier since he is extremely gun focused and doesn’t have a Japanese audience. I think he should be in but he’s more in the possibility camp more than the likely camp.
Thing is, Joker has a realistic gun, plus Microsoft may have insisted on it as a package in exchange for Banjo
