Fortnite sees a new skin leak as John Cena's Peacemaker Season 2 builds on its success

James Gunn’s adaptation of DC’s antihero, portrayed by John Cena, is finally making his debut in Fortnite, as revealed by a recent data mine that uncovered the character’s skin in the game’s files. This leak was unveiled by Fortnite leakers HYPEX and Shiina, who decrypted the Peacemaker skin earlier this week, indicating that Peacemaker has been deployed to Epic’s game servers.

The Fortnite Peacemaker skin’s reveal comes amid the ongoing broadcast of Peacemaker Season 2, which premiered on HBO Max on August 21, 2025, and consists of eight episodes.

According to the leaks, the Peacemaker bundle includes his outfit, along with three different helmets and one helmetless skin. Along with the skin is a back bling featuring Peacemaker’s sidekick, Eagly, as a plush. Furthermore, the skin is expected to include emotes like the Peaceful Hips, inspired by Peacemaker Season 2’s intro choreography sequence, alongside the track ‘Oh Lord’ by Foxy Shazam, and the Eat Peace Emote.

Other items in the bundle include Peacemaker’s shield as a melee weapon and the Clearly Peaceful Weapon skin. Since Epic Games hasn’t officially announced the Peacemaker skin, leaks speculate that the Peacemaker bundle could cost around 1,800 to 2,200 V-Bucks, while individual items like the skin for 1,800, back bling for 300, emotes, and the weapon wrap for 500 V-Bucks each.

Fortnite has had a long-standing history of several DC collaborations, featuring skins for Superman, Batman, Harley Quinn, and even John Cena in his WWE persona. The skin could launch sometime after the end of Fortnite’s Power Rangers event and the ongoing Beavis and Butt-Head crossover. Therefore, fans could expect to see Peacemaker’s debut in Fortnite during Chapter 6 Season 4.

Dataminers speculate that the skin could drop in the Item Shop as early as next week, around September 16. However, Epic Games has yet to make an official announcement.

As for the gaming community, reactions have been mixed, with some praising the skin’s attention to detail while others calling the design a “budget John Cena superhero.”

Epic Games continues to capitalize on pop culture and comic book crossovers more than any live service game to date, and it’s without question that Peacemaker’s arrival will boost Item Shop sales and concurrent player counts when the bundle officially releases.
