Following reports that a Fortnite x Uncharted partnership was in the works ahead of the live-action film's premiere, Epic Games announced the collaboration this week. Players who completed a riddle this week were rewarded with a video including skins for Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazier from the Uncharted games and the upcoming movie.
The full release plans for these skins have yet to be revealed, and we've only seen the wearable skins so far, but once the collaboration launches, chances are there will be more cosmetics than just these.
Below is the trailer that revealed the existence of the Uncharted crossover. You can visit the page on the Fortnite website to try to crack the code and guess the password if you want to experience solving the challenge yourself, just like other players have done. Without the quotes, it's "sicparvismagna".

Uncharted introduced in Fortnite
We're introduced to the Fortnite versions of Nathan and Chloe, complete with a cinematic twist. These appearances include not only the versions of these characters that will appear in the film - for example Tom Holland as Nathan Drake - but also how they appeared in the early Uncharted games.
Fortnite hasn't confirmed any plans for the release of these skins, but based on the success of previous skins with alternate appearances, we can expect to see cinematic versions of these cosmetics released, with players being able to unlock alternate video game styles (or vice versa) through challenges or other means.
This collaboration, one would expect, would not be restricted to character skins. Pickaxes, back accessories, and other cosmetics are often seen accompanied by high-profile crossovers like this one, so expect to see them alongside those outfits when the collaboration is fully completed.
With the new Uncharted movie out in less than a week, expect to see another TV ad or two before it hits theaters. In the run-up to release, things like posters and trailers were issued, with the film itself scheduled to hit theaters on February 18th.
