Fornite’s sidekick pets are about to print money for Epic Games

It’s looking like November will see Fortnite firing on all cylinders between the upcoming The Simpsons mini-season and now, the announcement of the long-rumored sidekicks. Sidekicks are pet friends who will tag along as you play whatever mode you’re in. They kind of look like Pokémon, except they’re all themed around Fortnite concepts. The first sidekick, for example, is a dog-shaped banana named Peels who obviously takes after the fruit character Peely.
