Artwork revealing dozens of potential Fortnite characters has been posted online. Fortnite fans do not typically get to see the battle royale's eye-catching characters until they're added to the game's files - and even then, some are encrypted so they're a complete surprise until they go on sale. However, a new player survey has spilled onto the internet via LeakySussed - and among questions about the game itself there are dozens of unrevealed characters for fans to offer feedback on.

This is the Black Sun, laid down in the 1930s at the orders of Nazi Schutzstaffel chief Heinrich Himmler. The Black Sun was part of Himmler's efforts to, essentially, devise a grand RPG backstory for the Third Reich: it links Nazidom to the sun heraldry of the Merovingian and Frankish empires, presenting Hitler's reign as the completion of a mythological narrative centuries in the dawning.

These are both brilliant games, but they're also somewhat sub-optimal in their original console incarnations.

That's exactly what one deepfake creator, who goes by the name Jarkan has done, importing Nathan Fillion's face into Uncharted 4 and replacing poor Nathan Drake's virtual chops in the process.
