Season 2 of Fortnite had a medieval theme which brought players the simple blue knight, Black Knight and the item shop exclusive Red Knight.
It looks like the “Like for Red Knight” tweets have finally made a wish come true.

The first sighting of the portals was at Lonely Lodge but they have since spread to places like Tomato Town and Retail Row.
