James Gunn confirms Peacemaker is joining Fortnite’s Item Shop. Plus, two chaotic new game modes drop after the “Super Showdown” live event. Here’s everything you need to know.
James Gunn Confirms: Peacemaker’s About to Drop Into Fortnite
Well, well, well—look who’s packing heat and heading to the Island. James Gunn officially announced that Peacemaker is coming to Fortnite as a purchasable skin in the Item Shop. And no, he’s not locked behind a battle pass like Superman. You can grab him straight from the shop (as long as your V-Bucks are stacked).
This reveal happened during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where Gunn casually dropped the bomb via a video that’s now making rounds on Reddit. He didn’t give an exact date, but there’s some pretty spicy speculation going around that the Peacemaker skin might land around August 21, the same day Season 2 of Peacemaker hits HBO Max. Coincidence? Doubt it.
Vigilante Might Be Joining Him
Because nothing screams “buddy cop chaos” like Peacemaker and Vigilante together, leaker ShiinaBR suggests that Vigilante might tag along for the ride. Add that to the recent drops of Cyborg and Robin in Chapter 6 Season 3, and DC is clearly putting Epic Games on speed dial.
If you’ve been building your Teen Titans or Justice League dream squads, this is your time. Go full DC mode and flex on casuals in style.
Super Showdown Is the Next Big Fortnite Event—Here’s What’s Going Down
Mark your calendars: August 2 at 2:30 PM ET is when Fortnite’s next live event—Super Showdown—kicks off. It’s the climax of Chapter 6 Season 3, and Superman’s definitely about to take center stage.
Unlike past events that instantly nuked the current season (RIP Galactic Battle), this one’s just part of the story arc. Chapter 6 Season 3 sticks around until August 7, so you’ve got time to finish that battle pass—especially if you’re chasing Superman cosmetics.
New Game Modes Incoming: Six Stack & Pure Chaos
Right after the Super Showdown (literally at 3 PM ET), Epic’s flipping the switch on two brand-new game modes in Blitz Royale:
- Six Stack: Team up in squads of SIX. That’s right. Six. Total chaos. Total fun. Absolute carnage.
- Pure Chaos: This one’s for the sweatiest of the sweaty. Increased siphon, cracked players everywhere, and zero room for error. You either dominate or get deleted.
And let’s not forget: Blitz Royale is also getting a one-hour mythic mayhem event. Unlimited mythics. Nothing but power moves. No excuses.
What’s Next for Chapter 6 Season 4?
Rumor mill’s already grinding. One of the more interesting leaks? Mud gameplay is coming back—sliding faster and turning invisible to thermal weapons. Sneaky plays and gross visuals? We’re in.
With Peacemaker, Vigilante, and half the DC roster showing up, plus sweaty new game modes and a live event featuring Superman, Chapter 6 is ending with a BANG.
