Eren Yeager looks a little off in these new promotional materials. <\/p>\n
That’s because it’s not really him. It’s another character, in Yeager’s outfit, part of a collaboration between Attack on Titan<\/em> and the multiplayer horror-game Dead by Daylight<\/em>. And Yeager and the rest of his friends are hardly the only anime content coming to popular games stateside. <\/p>\n Tuesday, Fortnite<\/em> announced a new Anime Legends pack bringing a set of skins to the game. Apex Legends<\/em> is also getting an anime-esque Gaiden Event. All three announcements came in one day. It’s part of a larger trend in which western video game makers are leaning hard into their fans’ interest in anime. <\/p>\n All three live-service games are adding anime-inspired content to their games in different ways this summer. Dead by Daylight<\/em> developer Behavior Interactive is reimagining its characters in Attack on Titan<\/em>‘s most popular roles. Apex Legends<\/em>‘ Gaiden Event will bring more than 40 new cosmetic items to the game \u2014 four of them clearly inspired by popular anime series like <\/em>One Piece<\/em>, Naruto<\/em>, My Hero Academia<\/em>and Neon Genesis Evangelion<\/em>. and in Fortnite<\/em>Epic Games is going as far as to give the game’s Anime Legends Pack a physical release at select retailers, alongside generic anime-inspired skins.<\/p>\n
