Matt Damon, now a skin in Fortnite, revealed he once turned down a significant offer to appear in The Bourne Conspiracy game. He lobbied for the game to be more like the puzzle-adventure Myst instead of a first-person shooter, but the developers declined. Damon also expressed interest in video games and VR during a 2016 Reddit AMA, noting his fascination with their storytelling potential.
Matt Damon Is In Fortnite Now, But He Was Almost In His Own Game Way Earlier
Matt Damon has been added to Fortnite as Odysseus, but he was nearly in his own game, The Bourne Conspiracy, in 2008.
