Will 'Fortnite' Delete Other Travis Scott Content?
This development brought out some questions from the game fans. They asked if the other Travis Scott contents would also be removed from the game. YouTuber Tabor Hill explained the situation in an eight-minute video clip.
As the YouTuber pointed out, some "Fortnite" fans are getting conscious about the Travis Scott skin. They are anxious about the bias linked to it. The YouTuber admitted players who use the skin might end up getting "a lot of hate" in the coming months.
However, a majority of players might not be happy with content deletion either, even if they are repaid in V-Bucks. Players feel that the Travis Scott skin is a collectible item taken from the 2020 in-game Astroworld concert. Even if they don't use it in-game, some players want to keep the skin in their inventory.
The YouTuber concluded with, "I don't know." It is uncertain whether "Fortnite" will keep or delete the other Travis Scott in-game contents. At the time of writing, Epic Games has not release an official statement on the topic. Instead of speaking about the event in an announcement, Epic Games decided to quietly close its sales.
According to Gamerant, many praised Epic Games' decision to remove Travis Scott's content. However, emotes and other items regularly rotate in "Fortnite." With "Out West" appearing on a monthly basis, it might eventually reappear on December 8. The situation is still developing, so fans will have to watch out for next month.
