Fortnite’s Superman crossover drops July 11, alongside James Gunn’s Superman movie. Leaks suggest a new skin, mythic ability, and a companion Krypto the Superdog. Here’s what to expect.
Fortnite’s Superman Crossover Is Shaping Up to Be a Superpowered Event
Fortnite’s superhero-packed Chapter 6 Season 3, simply titled Super, is already in full swing, and players are gearing up for something even bigger, a full-on Superman crossover. With Epic Games confirming a DC collab to line up with the release of James Gunn’s Superman movie, excitement is already flying high. But while official details are still under wraps, some juicy leaks are pointing to what could be in store.
The Event Drops July 11, But What’s Coming?
All Epic has confirmed so far is the crossover’s launch date: July 11, the same day the new Superman movie lands in theaters. The timing is no coincidence, and it looks like Fortnite wants to ride the hype wave with its own tribute to the Man of Steel.
As usual, the Fortnite leaker community didn’t sit still. Trusted insider HYPEX has revealed that the collab will include a fresh Superman skin which likely inspired by the updated look from the movie, and potentially a powerful mythic ability.
Superman’s Mythic Might Is (Probably) Incoming
While not confirmed, the mythic ability mentioned in the leaks is expected to be something fitting of Superman’s powers. Flight? Heat vision? A ground-shaking punch? Epic has plenty of powers to pull from, and if past collabs are any indication (cough Darth Vader’s Force throw cough), this could be more than just cosmetic.
There’s also a strong chance that this mythic ability will be tied to a limited-time event or challenge, pushing players to complete specific tasks to unlock it or wield it in-game for a short window.
Saying Hello to Krypto the Superdog?
One of the most exciting teases from the leaks is the possible introduction of Krypto the Superdog, Superman’s trusty canine sidekick. The rumor suggests he could be Fortnite’s first “companion” which could be a revamped take on the old pet system. Instead of just sitting on your back, these new companions are expected to interact with the world around you.
Think tagging enemies, sniffing out loot, or sticking close during a firefight. That’s a far cry from the purely decorative pets of Fortnite’s earlier seasons. And if anyone’s going to lead the charge into this new feature, it might as well be Krypto, especially with him playing a big role in the new film.
What Else Could Be in the Works?
If Fortnite really leans into this Superman crossover, don’t be surprised to see other DC Universe tie-ins. Skins for Lois Lane or Lex Luthor could follow, or even themed weapon wraps, back blings, gliders, and loading screens.
The crossover could also tie into the season’s existing Hero Items system, which gives players special powers mid-match. Maybe we’ll get a Kryptonian shield generator or a cape that boosts gliding speed.
When’s the Next Update?
According to the leaks, a follow up update is expected to drop on July 15, a few days after the initial Superman content goes live. That’s when companions like Krypto could be introduced, along with new challenges, cosmetics, and maybe even map changes to reflect Metropolis or other DC landmarks.
Fortnite’s always found creative ways to blend pop culture with gameplay, and this upcoming Superman event looks like it’ll be no different. With a mythic power in the works, a new skin, and maybe even Krypto making his grand entrance, the July 11 update is shaping up to be one of Season 3’s biggest highlights.
