You Can Take Superman's Power In Fortnite Starting This Weekend

We're also getting two Fortnite item shop skins based on the new Superman movie

This is the latest version of a mechanic that Fortnite has been doing a lot of this year: allowing one player or group of players in each match to temporarily become the main boss of the island. It started in January with Godzilla, and then they did it again in May with the Star Destroyer from Star Wars. And now we've got the Superman version, which will allow one player to fly around, melting people and structures with heat vision.

Friday is also when players can unlock the new Superman skin on the battle pass--folks who have the pass simply have to gain 12 levels to unlock the David Corenswet version, and 24 levels for the very slick "pen & ink" cel-shaded version. Along with the skin itself is a slate of matching cosmetics, including a glider, a pickaxe, and matching capes for each style of Superman. And, naturally, there will also be a pair of skins from the film in the shop as well--the Engineer, and Mister Terrific. No sign of the Lex Luthor everybody was hoping for, however.

Comic book fans can console themselves about that absence by visiting the Fortress of Solitude in Battle Royale and Zero Build, a new major location that will probably stick around until the end of next season. The Superman NPC will be hanging out there offering various services, like healing, that you can buy with gold bars.
