But among all that, the villain Kai Leng might still be the most-hated part of both the game and the entire franchise. Even now, 14 years after launch, actor Troy Baker still seems embarrassed about helping bring Kai Leng to life.In a recent video with YouTube channel Partychat, Baker is presented wit

• How a trip to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights got me hooked on Fortnite

I recall the colossal wave of excitement surrounding the Battle Royale game in 2017/2018 and how I rolled my eyes
