Fortnite Kicks: Where To Buy The Shoes IRL

Fortnite received a massive dose of sneaker culture at the end of 2024 when Epic Games introduced Kicks, which let players wear a virtual pair of Jordans--giving Goku a new level of drip he'd never have a chance at achieving otherwise. In the time since Kicks were first introduced in Fortnite, the selection has grown from a handful of Jordans and Nikes to hundreds of pairs from brands like Pumas, Converse, Adidas, Crocs, and MSCHF--not to mention a pretty beefy slate of Fortnite-original nov

Deadlock's Magical Setting Carries On A Storied, And Welcome, Tradition

Upon booting up Deadlock, Valve's latest MOBA/hero-shooter hybrid, players are treated to a hell of a visual: the New York City skyline plunged in shadows, illuminated only by the windows of its skyscrapers and a series of occult sigils. One in particular sits above the tallest building in the shot, and above it, a dark swirl builds in the clouds; ghastly pigeons perch on a nearby roof, emitting an eerie, green glow.
