Black Adam Brings The Rock To Fortnite…Again

The latest superhero (antihero?) to descend onto the Fortnite battle royale island has been confirmed, as Epic Games and DC Comics have announced a Black Adam Fortnite skin–in honor of the upcoming film–which will be released October 20.

The Black Adam Fortnite skin will mark the second time a Fortnite skin will bear the likeness of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who voices the original Fortnite character The Foundation. Johnson was revealed as the leader of The Seven–not to be confused with Homelander’s crew–during the Chapter 2 finale event last December.

The skin will also be bundled with at least three other items, as the official Fortnite Twitter posted a picture of the entire Black Adam bundle. Based on that tweet, the Black Adam Fortnite skin will drop with a back bling, pickaxe, and emote, though the official names of those items are not yet known.

Black Adam is also the second superhero-themed skin announced for Fortnite in less than a week, though the preceding skin comes from DC Comics’ biggest competition. On October 8, Epic and Marvel released a skin based on X-23, the clone and eventual adopted daughter of Wolverine, into the item shop.

Fortnite is available now for free on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Black Adam will release in theaters on October 21, and The Rock recently said he wants the follow-up to be a Black Adam vs Superman movie.
