Release Date
Although there has been no confirmation on the official date of the crossover, it is highly expected that it will happen sometime around 6th November, the same day that Arcane premieres on Netflix and Twitch.
Given that there's less than a week to go for Arcane's release on Netflix, players can start expecting an official announcement from Epic Games soon.
New Skins
As of now, Shiina has revealed that Jinx from League of Legends will be the first champion to have a skin introduced in Fortnite. However, whether the skin will feature Jinx's original outfit or a different Arcane-themed appearance remains to be seen.
Having said that, it is also expected that fans will be greeted with even more skins from LOL in the future if this crossover goes well in Fortnite.
