Big-name collaborations are a huge part of the way Fortnite brings out content. What initially started out as major events in the game’s life turned into a common sight for players to see. Epic Games kept bringing one franchise after another to the game. And now, Fortnite looks to continue with another exciting addition.
Considering a large part of the fanbase comprises fans of anime, it was only natural for Epic to bring anime franchises to the game. Following the arrival of titles such as Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece entered the fray with a creative map. Although it was poorly received by players, Epic and One Piece may be able to find redemption.
Is One Piece bringing a bundle to Fortnite?

It looks like One Piece could be ready to make its full entry into Fortnite, as Nico Robin is being considered as one of the One Piece skins to be added to Fortnite. The news broke after Nico Robin popped up on a survey Epic Games was conducting, about skins they could be adding. However, it is just speculation for now, but considering it’s a credible source, this could just be true.
The character is widely popular among One Piece fans and is dubbed ‘Light of the Revolution’. If Nico does enter into the game, it could pave the way for more One Piece characters joining the fray.

More importantly, it can make up for the disappointing entry of One Piece into Fortnite. Commemorating the live-action series One Piece coming to Netflix, the only piece of content that came was a creative map named Straw Hats Vs. Pirates. Unlike most collaborations, this one did not feature a bundle of skins or gliders that players could get. It left fans pretty disappointed. With a series as big as this one, fans hoped to see more out of it.

Perhaps it was simply because it was not a full collaboration with the anime, just a celebration of the live-action series. It could also be foreshadowing a bundle coming in the future. Fans love the potential for collaboration.
Fans excited about the possible collaboration
One Piece fans will surely be licking their lips at the prospect of this crossover. Once fans saw the news, their imaginations ran wild with the possibilities of character skins. Since Nico is on the roster for a potential skin, fans also hope to see iconic characters such as Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro.
Oh yes.
Give me Zoro and Franky. Robin's just a bonus.

Hearing about Robin coming to the game, fans wanted to see variants of the skin, such as the devil style. It feels fitting, since one of her titles is “Devil Child.”

On the other hand, some were quick to dismiss these surveys. They felt it was only meant to serve as market research. Fair to say, the user has the right idea as it is currently not confirmed.
Those surveys are all market research, there's no point mentioning anything about anyone on them since it's just meant to see what audience the game reaches
