Who is this character?
Given the age range of Fortnite players, a common question will be: who is Edward Scissorhands? To answer that question, you must head back to 1990 when Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands arrived on the silver screen.
Johnny Depp stars as Edward Scissorhands, a creation of a scientist who died before he could finish making him. He is left with scissors for his hands, and despite his appearance, Edward exhibits talent in trimming topiaries, grooming pets, and styling hair.
This character joins Fortnite alongside two additional Tim Burton characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Pumpkin King and Sally. Edward Scissorhands is an interesting choice for Fortnite, and we’ll watch for the other cosmetics included in the set.
