"Epic fast-tracked skins, cosmetics, and a reskinned mode themed around Netflix's animated musical, and I paid for my first V-Bucks to play as Rumi and fight hordes of demons with shotguns and SMGs. Friends, it gave me the ick. I loathe 's brand of artless, cross-promotional excess, and even a solid social hub and battle royale can't wash that away for me."
"Rei Ami, the singing voice of Huntr/x's rapper Zoey, has been campaigning for a KPop Demon Hunters X collaboration for months, and even got to reveal her character's skin ahead of the crossover's launch . Now that she's finally got it, she's been playing on streams and TikTok Lives as Zoey, and I haven't seen a pop-off as hype as the first time she got a Victory Royale in the skin in a minute."
"Ejae and Audrey Nuna, the singing voices for Rumi and Mira, aren't players, but they did shoot a promo video reacting to the skins in which the group jokes about taking a class on how to play Epic's game. Well, it looks like those lessons are happening. Rei Ami posted a video during their ongoing promotional tour for KPop Demon Hunters, showing them spending some of their spare time playing ."
The KPop Demon Hunters crossover delivered rapid-release skins, cosmetics, and a reskinned Fortnite mode tied to the Netflix animated musical.

A tour video shows the trio gaming together; Ejae placed 36th in her first match before elimination. The group is set to make a live Tonight Show debut.
