At some point, Fortnite shifted from being a fun mix of different worlds to feeling more like a long-running advertisement.
And now, with Chapter 6, Season 3 about to launch, that feeling is stronger than ever. After tomorrow’s big Death Star event on June 7, the next season will begin—and this time, it’s all about superheroes again.
According to leaks, the new season will bring more superhero skins to the game. Fortnite already has dozens (if not hundreds) of superhero outfits, and now it’s adding even more.
This includes Fortnite’s original characters dressed up like superheroes and actual DC characters, too.
One of the most talked-about leaks is a new Superman skin. But not just any Superman—it’s based on actor David Corenswet, who will play the role in James Gunn’s upcoming movie Superman, releasing on July 11.
This is different from the older comic-book-style Superman skin that was already in the game. Many fans feel this new version looks a bit strange, but it’s meant to promote the movie. Along with him, Krypto the super-dog will also appear in the game.
No confirmation yet on whether other movie characters like Lex Luthor, Hawkgirl, or Mr. Terrific will be added, but they might show up later in the season.
Another skin that’s been confirmed is DC’s Robin, specifically the Tim Drake version. Some fans were hoping for a different version of Robin, but that’s what’s coming for now.
There’s no doubt more superhero skins will be revealed as the season goes on, along with a few updates to older character designs.
Besides the DC crossover, Fortnite will also have collaborations with Squid Game (likely tied to the new season of the show) and One-Punch Man.
Fortnite’s last Star Wars-themed season didn’t do so well. It had one of the lowest player counts in recent history, and many players didn’t like the theme or gameplay changes.
That season will wrap up with tomorrow’s event, possibly ending with the Death Star blowing up part of the map.
To be clear, it’s not just DC getting this treatment. Fortnite has been doing more and more crossover content that feels less creative and more like brand deals.
What started as fun pop culture moments now just seems like nonstop advertising. And honestly, a lot of fans are starting to feel the same way.
