Loading...Okay, so Negan is about to stomp his way into Fortnite, and honestly? It’s about damn time. Dude’s been hanging around The Walking Dead for ages, swinging Lucille like it’s his personal apocalypse party, and now he’s about to crack skulls on the Fortnite island. April 4—mark your calendars. That’s when the man himself drops into the shop, making him the first Walking Dead skin since Rick freaking Grimes back in 2021. Took ’em long enough, huh?
And it’s not just Negan. The undead walkers are invading Fortnite Creative, turning custom islands into straight-up horror movie sets. We’re talking full-on walker NPCs, plus a prison island template ripped right from TWD’s early seasons. Oh, and starting April 8, you can actually use Negan as an NPC in Creative. Imagine setting up a base, throwing Negan in there, and just letting chaos unfold. Beautiful.
Then there’s the gear—Lucille (the barbed-wire bat, of course) and a Shiva Shotgun inspired by King Ezekiel’s pet tiger. Yeah, they named a shotgun after a tiger. Because why not? Also, Epic’s letting creators slap this Heavy Linework effect on their maps, making everything look like it got yanked straight from the black-and-white comic pages. Kind of sick, not gonna lie.
Only catch? You can’t publish maps using the new tools until May 16. So, uh, patience, I guess. But in the meantime, Negan’s arrival is lining up suspiciously well with the upcoming season of The Walking Dead: Dead City. Maggie’s in that show too, so… Epic, if you’re reading this, where’s the Maggie skin? Don’t leave us hanging.
