Fortnite is set to collaborate with The Boys, Amazon Prime's ultra-violent and satirical superhero series. This crossover will introduce themed content into the battle royale experience, and it is expected to be a special one. Homelander is widely anticipated to be the face of the collaboration, given his popularity in the series. He will likely receive a special skin in Fortnite, purchasable from the Item Shop.
When will the Homelander skin be released in Fortnite?
A leak by SamLeakss on X confirmed that the The Boys x Fortnite crossover is in development. The collaboration is potentially arriving later in Chapter 7 Season 2, and it is expected to also feature car cosmetics. According to Fortnite's list of upcoming updates, the collab will likely land in-game on or after Thursday, May 14, 2026. May 14 is the only known update for the entire month following the recent Star Wars content drops. It is most likely that the collaboration skins will drop between May 14 and May 20, 2026. The timing is likely tied directly to the season finale of The Boys on Amazon Prime Video, which airs on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. A collaboration drop in the window around May 14 to May 20 would give Epic and Amazon maximum cross-promotional impact.
What skins and cosmetics can be included in Fortnite x The Boys?
Homelander is the standout character and arguably the face of The Boys, making a Homelander Fortnite skin an almost certain inclusion. He has previously appeared in other games, including Mortal Kombat 1 and Call of Duty. Beyond Homelander, the crossover could also include other popular Supes like Starlight and A-Train. You can further expect themed cosmetics like back blings and pickaxes based on iconic moments from the show. The inclusion of car cosmetics is particularly noteworthy, and it will be interesting to see what Epic Games has in store. Keep in mind that the developers have yet to confirm the collaboration between Fortnite and The Boys. However, as the Season 5 finale arrives on May 20, the Homelander skin feels closer than ever.
