The Incredibles are arriving to Fortnite: Battle Royale tonight

Disney and Epic Games had already announced during D23 2024 that they were going to add The Incredibles skins to Fortnite: Battle Royale in the near future. But nobody was expecting them to drop them on the store so soon and completely out of the blue.

Earlier today, the official Fortnite account on Twitter/X confirmed that the three previously revealed skins based on Pixar’s hit superhero animated film, The Incredibles, are going to be added to the in-game store tonight: Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr), Elastigirl (Helen Parr) and Frozone (Lucius Best). Mr Incredible’s vehicle, The Incredible, will also be available to purchase in the store.

The Fortnite account even posted the trailer with the line “Where are those super suits?”, in reference to one of the film’s most hilarious scenes. Epic Games did not reveal the specific time in which it will add the new skins, but Fortnite’s Item Shop refreshes daily at around 00:00 UTC / 5:00 PM PT / 8:00pm ET. So you can probably expect them to appear in the next few hours.

Naturally, Fortnite fans received this surprise announcement with a lot of excitement, and they especially praised these skins for looking so good and remaining faithful to the art style of The Incredibles. However, many other players were not happy with this sudden addition to the Item Shop, and complained that they didn’t have the opportunity to collect enough V-Bucks to acquire them later today.

Fortnite will have other Disney animated icons, not just The Incredibles

Disney has been collaborating with Epic Games on Fortnite: Battle Royale for many years, but both companies have mostly focused on action franchises like Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and more. Only recently, during Disney’s D23 2024 exposition, the company confirmed that it will add skins based on some of its most iconic animated films, and The Incredibles will not be the only ones.

Disney announced that Epic Games will add a pack of Disney Villains to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, which will include Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Cruella de Vil. In the reveal trailer, all three of them have slick new designs that make them look more intimidating and help them better fit the atmosphere of the game. There still isn’t a specific release date for this pack but, considering how Epic Games dropped the Incredibles skins out of nowhere, the same thing could happen with the Disney Villains.
