Summary
- Fortnite may collaborate with James Gunn's Superman film, bringing a new skin and mythic ability to the game.
- Next season might include original superhero designs in the battle pass, rather than a full DC/Marvel collaboration.
- A new companion cosmetic feature, similar to pets, could be added to Fortnite soon.
A prominent Fortnite leaker believes that the popular battle royale could be collaborating with James Gunn's upcoming film, Superman, to bring the hero to the game once again. Fortnite has a long history of collaborating with the DC universe, as characters like Wonder Woman, Batman, and Joker have regularly received skins in the game.
Epic Games is currently in the middle of a major collaboration with the Star Wars franchise, as the current mini-season, Galactic Battle, has brought a wide variety of iconic characters and weapons to the battle royale. While skins for Emperor Palpatine and Poe Dameron have already been released, fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of characters like Mace Windu and Darth Jar Jar.
Fortnite Fans Have a Good Idea for Lightsaber Pickaxes
One Fortnite player shares an interesting idea that would allow players to use lightsabers as pickaxes in Epic Games' popular battle royale.
In a recent post on Twitter, ShiinaBR stated that Epic Games may be collaborating with James Gunn's new film, Superman, in an effort to bring the hero back to the island once again. This would likely happen around July 11, which is when the movie is scheduled to release. It's worth noting that there's already a version of Superman in Fortnite, but he was tied to an earlier battle pass. This means players can no longer acquire the cosmetic, as battle pass items don't typically come to the game's Item Shop. Supposedly, this new variant would be based on the film and might even come with a mythic ability that turns players into Superman on the map. This might function similarly to the way gamers were able to become Godzilla for a limited time.
Fortnite May Be Releasing a New Superman Skin and Mythic Item
It's rumored that the next season of Fortnite could be superhero-themed, though leakers don't expect it to be a full collaboration with DC or Marvel. Instead, a recent round of survey skins showed 18 original superhero designs, which could mean they will be included in the upcoming battle pass.
It was also leaked that a new type of cosmetic could be coming to Fortnite in the near future, which would involve giving players companions. While pets have already been featured with a limited number of back blings, these new companions might follow the player around while they traverse the map. Many fans were excited to hear the rumor, and even wondered if this could be the beginning of seeing droids in Fortnite due to its ongoing collaboration with Star Wars. With the recent Superman leak, some people even mentioned that the hero's dog could be coming to the game. However, numerous fans expressed concern, stating that pets could add to visual clutter on the battlefield. With so much content to enjoy and even more updates on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
