The "Fortnite" "Assassin's Creed" leak also showed that Ezio's Hidden Blade expects to be added in the Locker. Upon knowing this crossover, several fans are excited to try it out.
Twitter user @FourTheGamers begged the game developer to not lock the blade onto the skin.

Keep in mind that Epic Games is yet to address this leak.
'Assassin's Creed's' Ezio
According to the "Assassin's Creed" fandom, Ezio Auditore was a Florentine nobleman who lived during the Renaissance period. Aside from this, the character was also a master assassin and a mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins from 1503 to 1513.
Ezio is a member of the House of Auditore, marked as the Italian noble family but was also of Assassin lineage. When Ezio reached the age of 17, he finally knew about his Assassin heritage after witnessing the hanging of his father and two brothers.
Seeking revenge, Ezio was forced to leave his birthplace with his remaining family members and took refuge with his uncle in the Tuscan town of Monteriggioni, at the Villa Auditore.
Upon knowing his Assassin heritage, Ezio began his Assassin training aiming to fight against the Templar Order and their Grand Master, the Spaniard Rodrigo Borgia, who ordered the hanging of his father and brothers.
