Ohtani Joins Fortnite Icon Series March 17

Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' star, will become the first MLB player to join Fortnite's Icon Series, available on March 17. As part of this collaboration, Ohtani's character will feature multiple outfits, including his Dodgers uniform in both home and away colors, a LEGO style, and a Samurai version. The collaboration coincides with the MLB Tokyo Series starting March 18, where the Dodgers will play against the Chicago Cubs. Epic Games will also launch Ohtani-themed quests and a tournament, the Shohei Ohtani Cup, allowing players to unlock exclusive content. This initiative highlights Ohtani's growing influence, both in baseball and popular culture, and marks MLB's increasing efforts to engage with a global audience through new platforms.
