Fortnite developer Epic Games has officially unveiled the rumoured Cody Rhodes and Undertaker skins. With Wrestlemania 41 taking place in Las Vegas this weekend, WWE and Epic Games have partnered up for a new crossover.
The Cody Rhodes and Undertaker Fortnite skins have been given an April 18 release date and an 8pm ET release time. However, because of the time difference, UK fans can grab the outfits and items at 1am BST on April 19.
Epic Games explains more: “Just in time for the ‘Showcase of the Immortals,’ WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will come to Fortnite’s Icon Series!
“Players will be able to take The Undertaker and Rhodes aboard their Locker when their Outfits and accessories launch in the Shop on April 18th at 8 PM ET.”
The new WWE Fortnite skins will be accompanied by a selection of items, as well as two new emotes.
The Undertaker Outfit, for example, comes equipped with Deadman Eyes, which can be toggled on and off during play.
That’s on top of Taker’s Shovel Pickaxe, The Urn Back Bling, and the “Urn’d Respect” Emote. The Undertaker skin also comes with two alternative styles, including Ring Gear and Entrance Gear.
You can take a closer look at The Undertaker skin by checking out the trailer below.
The Cody Rhodes bundle, on the other hand, features the Cody Rhodes Outfit, Cody’s Cutlass Pickaxe, the Nightmare Mantle Back Bling and the “WOOOAAHH!” Emote.
The “WOOOAAHH!” Emote mimics Cody’s entrance, where the WWE Superstar drop to one knee, before standing tall surrounded by fireworks.
Unlike many Fortnite skins and guest characters, the Cody Rhodes and Undertaker skins won’t have LEGO variants.
Cody and The Undertaker are the latest WWE Superstars to join Fortnite, following the likes of Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair and Cody’s Wrestlemania opponent John Cena.
