Jimothy, a particularly round raccoon and the internet's latest sensation, has now broken into games

Jimothy, a particularly round raccoon and the internet's latest sensation, has now broken into games

Fortnite crossover when?

Yesterday I learnt about Jimothy, an adorably round raccoon (possibly with a spine condition) scuttling around Seattle that's gone viral thanks to his unique appearance. It was only a matter of time then before all the brand accounts joined in on the raccoon's newfound celebrity status. He's already crossing over with a bunch of your favourite games.

I first saw World of Warcraft share a picture of what lil' Jimothy would look like in the MMO and, frankly, I'd very much like him as a pet in-game. RuneScape followed up with a very similar render of Jimothy in the old school style, and Dead by Daylight gave him glowing eyes and chest, and bloody tentacles for some reason.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire tastefully drew Jimothy in its 1930s rubber hose, film noir style. Jack Pepper could have a new sidekick, and he probably likes cheese too—raccoons don't tend to be picky.

And then, at the mercy of social media's algorithms, I unfortunately saw The Sims chime in with a rather terrifying depiction of Jimothy. I'm convinced that's not an animal but a human in a creepy raccoon suit.

I'm oddly less disturbed by Halo's Spartan armour-clad Jimothy shared by senior community manager John Junyszek, which is literally a human crumpled onto all fours with elongated feet and neck.

Halo has actually double-dipped, placing Jimothy on Master Chief's crashed pod in the original Combat Evolved, and in the surrounding field in the Campaign Evolved remake.

I fear it's only a matter of time until we get a Jimothy skin in Fortnite, where the poor raccoon is awkwardly crammed into a mech suit to adhere to its hitbox requirements. But in the meantime, these crossovers are pretty sweet.

Swen Vincke says the price of RAM and SSDs means Larian will be doing lots of optimisation in Divinity's early access 'that we didn't necessarily want to do at that point in time'
