A new list of characters rumored to join Fortnite in the near future has been leaked, sparking excitement among fans. The list, shared by a well-known Fortnite insider, includes some unexpected names like famous comedian Jack Black, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, and characters from popular games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Mortal Kombat. The leak also hints at a potential special in-game event related to Tony Hawk.
Leak Source and Credibility
According to Insider Gaming, the leak comes from Shpeshal Nick, a reliable source from the XboxEra podcast. Nick has a strong track record of sharing accurate information about Fortnite updates in the past, which adds weight to this new leak.
The Leaked Character List
Here’s the full list of characters that are reportedly being considered for future Fortnite updates:
- Jack Black – His appearance seems to be independent and not tied to Minecraft.
- More Mortal Kombat characters
- Characters from Death Stranding
- Characters from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
- Doom Slayer from DOOM: The Dark Ages
- Billy and Jimmy from Double Dragon
- Characters from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
- Agent 47 from the Hitman series
- Marvel characters in pixel art style
- An NBA player
Jack Black, known for voicing Po in Kung Fu Panda, seems to be one of the most unexpected and exciting additions.
Possible Tony Hawk Event in Fortnite
One of the biggest surprises in the leak is the mention of a special Fortnite event based on the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise. While there are no exact details about how the event will work or which characters (besides Tony Hawk himself) will be included, the idea has generated serious hype.
Interestingly, the timing might align with the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, which is set to launch on July 11, 2025. This could serve as a perfect promotional crossover, though Shpeshal Nick noted that Epic Games doesn’t always follow exact release dates. The event could happen earlier or later than the game’s launch.
