A significant leak has surfaced, reportedly revealing that James Gunn‘s Superman will be joining Fortnite for the game‘s upcoming season, marking a major collaboration with DC Comics. As Fortnite’s current Star Wars-themed season has only just begun, the unexpected appearance of this new leak has captured the attention of fans worldwide, increasing anticipation for Chapter 6, Season 4, which could launch in just a few weeks.
The origins of this leak trace back to prominent Fortnite insiders, specifically SpushFNBR and FNBRintel, who shared updates on Twitter regarding the theme of the next season. According to these sources, the forthcoming season will be centered around a “Superhero academy” concept, reportedly funded by the infamous in-game character Midas. Both SpushFNBR and FNBRintel have established themselves as reliable figures within the Fortnite community, and their coordinated reports have added credibility to these claims.
The details highlight that instead of continuing with Marvel partnerships, this season will focus more heavily on the DC universe. Most notably, FNBRintel has reported that players can expect a Superman skin based explicitly on James Gunn’s interpretation of the character. This new cosmetic will not only give users access to the legendary superhero’s appearance but will also reportedly include a Mythic item, potentially granting players the use of Superman’s unique powers during gameplay.
Adding to the excitement, the leak also points to the debut of a Robin skin, a first for Fortnite, further indicating strong DC involvement. Robin’s arrival is seen as a notable shift compared to previous collaborations, and it lends greater weight to rumors about the scale of this upcoming crossover. Reports also suggest that Daigo will serve as the season’s primary villain, and with Midas returning as an influential presence, the narrative depth is expected to increase.
Despite some confusion among leakers regarding the season‘s numerical designation, with some referring to it as Chapter 6, Season 3 due to the current Star Wars theme being called Galactic Battle, most are continuing to call the next event Season 4, pending official confirmation from Epic Games. With the season projected to begin once the Star Wars event concludes in about a month, players and comic fans eagerly await further details and potential confirmation from Epic.
The rumored addition of James Gunn’s Superman and a full-scale DC collaboration signals a major content shift for Fortnite, promising new gameplay experiences and the chance for fans to embody beloved DC heroes in the battle royale universe. Should these leaks prove accurate, the next season could redefine expectations for cross-media partnerships within the game, setting the stage for even greater collaborations in the future.
