Superman Flies into Fortnite’s Chapter 2 Season 7 Battle Pass

The shot is very brief, but it confirms that the Last Son of Krypton will be appearing this season, joining his fellow DC Comics mainstays like Batman, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, the Flash, and others who have already landed in the game.

However, Big Blue will not be initially available and will only be arriving later in the season. According to the in-game counter, Superman will be available on August 12, 2021 (or about 65 days from when Season 7 started).

As revealed, Superman's Fortnite character pack will include: Clark Kent default Outfit Secret Identity Emote (which changes into the Superman Outfit) The Last Son of Krypton exclusive loading screen Superman Banner Icon Solitude Striker Pickaxe (which looks like a bunch of Kryptonian crystals from the Fortress of Solitude) Superman Shield Spray An Alternate Style called Clark Kent (Shadow) which depicts the black and white Superman costume (aka the regeneration suit made famous during the Reign of the Supermen storyline) Kal-El's Cape Glider Daily Planet Back Bling (which is a golden spinning Daily Planet globe) Even with the Season 7 Battle Pass, you'll have to wait until August 12 to unlock Earth's Greatest Superhero. Season 7 Battle Pass Although Superman will not be arriving for a couple of months, players can acquire the Battle Pass right now. With that, some updates have been made to the Battle Pass rewards system.

This time, you accumulate Battle Stars (five in each tier) which you can get to spend on what you wish to unlock. This provides a degree of freedom in allowing players to choose which rewards to unlock. This was actually already used, but the system makes its return and is a welcome change from the default tier list, allowing players to prioritize which rewards to acquire first, while still essentially opening everything up when they hit tier 100.

While Superman will not be immediately available, getting the Battle Pass early does include another pop culture character. One of these Battle Pass rewards is Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty. However, you will need to reach a Battle Pass level of 90 or spend a lot of Battle Stars in order to unlock Morty's belching sparring partner prior to reaching that tier. Interestingly, Rick is depicted in the traditional cell shaded sprite instead of the standard 3D polygons like the other characters in Fortnite.

The Invasion theme for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 seems to be heading for a big conclusion similar to the Zero Crisis event of prior seasons. Could it mean a special big bad like Galactus? Perhaps the lord of Apokolips himself, Darkseid? We will just have to wait and see.

Fortnite's Battle Pass is available for purchase for 950 V-Bucks, or $9.50 on the in-game store. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 is live on the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
