Fortnite adds Hank Hill and other cartoon dad skins for Father’s Day
He sells propane, propane accessories, and… Fortnite skins?
That’s right, King of the Hill’s Hank Hill is coming to Fortnite for Father’s Day, alongside Family Guy’s Cleveland Brown and Bob’s Burgers’ Bob Belcher. They’ll all be available as skins in the Fortnite shop.
On Wednesday, the official Fortnite X account teased Hank’s upcoming arrival to the game with a single picture, showing Hill’s classic white shirt, brown belt combo, and blue jeans (covering a diminished glute), posing a simple question: “Did we get it right?” This stoked several days of speculation among the Fortnite community that Hank would appear in Fortnite, likely in the time for Father’s Day.
Epic unveiled a trailer Friday featuring Hank, Cleveland, and Bob playing a game of Fortnite, with Bob pleading with the other two characters to revive him. Unfortunately for Bob, Cleveland can’t help himself from hitting the griddy while Hank is busy drinking beer outside, away from his headset and controller.
Hank, Cleveland, and Bob will arrive Friday, June 13. (The Fortnite shop resets at midnight GMT, or 8 p.m. EDT.)
The Fox cartoons collaboration will feature all three characters and will be variably priced within the item shop, available as various bundles at the following price points:
Like other Fortnite bundles, these come with a special pickaxe and back bling for each character. For example, Cleveland comes with a mailbox pickaxe, referencing the character’s job as a postal worker, in addition to a satchel of mail as his back bling.
Fortnite kicked off Chapter 6 Season 3, dubbed Fortnite Super, on June 7. As the name suggests, the new season is focused on super-powered beings, with DC Comics icons Superman and Red Robin headlining the battle pass. A slate of super-powered weapons has also been added to the game, with new gadgets like Robin’s Grapnel Gun, the Myst Gauntlets, the Tracking Visor, the Bass Boost, Krypto Treats, and more.
With this in mind, Hank, Cleveland, and Bob’s addition to the game this season makes sense. After all, there’s no greater superpower than being a dad.
