If a movie, game or television show gets popular and you become a fan who also happens to be a Fortnite player, then you only have to wait to see it arrive in the beloved game in the shape of character skins.
From the recently added Gorillaz skins to some iconic additions such as Lara Croft, Beavis and Butthead, One Punch Man, Power Rangers, The Fantastic Four and many many more, Fortnite players can gain access to well over 2,000 different skins and customisation options.
Now it seems as though Epic Games is teaming up with the DC Universe to bring a brand-new superhero into the fray.
Yep, it’s Peacemaker from the HBO Max television show with the same name.

Played by John Cena, the television show aired back in 2022 and told the story of Christopher Smith who, after recovering from injuries, must return to a black ops squad and eliminate parasites that have taken over humans all over the world.
As a result, he is soon titled Peacemaker and the second season of the show was released back in August.
Now to celebrate the success of the second season, Peacemaker is now being immortalised in Fortnite with a brand-new skin showing off John Cena’s look in the show.
Complete with helmet (which can be toggled off), the character sports a tight-fitted red shirt with blue and yellow decals, grey pants and black boots.
Pretty simple but definitely effective, especially as, in typical Fortnite fashion, it comes alongside a dance emote which sees Peacemaker grind those hips.
Not only that but a brand-new backpack comes ready to equip and, of course, it features a bald eagle with matching mask. Very American.
As you can imagine, fans are already sharing their thoughts on the skin and it seems to be another win for Epic Games.
“Wow it’s actually good ngl,” one fan admitted.
Another agreed, adding, “After four years, peak finally arrives.”
Of course, many are confused as to why they can only see a skin and no model (if you know, you know) but it seems as though many will be adding Peacemaker to their extensive list of skins when they next boot up Fortnite.
Not only that but this marks the second time Epic Games have rewarded a skin to John Cena with his “base skin” already available in the in-game store for 1,500 V-Bucks.
He joins the likes of Keanu Reeves to be immortalised on more than one occasion.
