Lioness, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that they didn&#8217;t completely rule out their characters appearing in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/fortnite-will-allow-blocking-the-most-controversial-gestures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Fortnite<\/a>. The bad news is that they demanded that they only appear in the Switch versions and future consoles. And of course, after discussing it a bit, they came to the conclusion that they couldn&#8217;t give in and make different versions of the Battle Royale for each platform, because the whole point is for everyone to have the same experience.
