Fortnite Sets Stone Cold Steve Austin Skin for April 16 Release

The crossover advances Fortnite’s WWE push by turning Austin’s beer bash into a Slurp Juice emote to fit the game’s teen rating.

Overview

  • Epic Games, which teased the skin Monday on X, set an April 16 Item Shop debut that is expected after the 40.20 update goes live.
  • The cosmetic shows Austin in his signature vest and jean shorts with a skull-themed back bling and a beer-chugging emote reimagined using Slurp Juice.
  • Epic has not announced pricing or a bundle, though outlets note Fortnite often sells wrestler skins solo or in sets with back bling, a pickaxe, and an emote.
  • Dataminers still point to a Liv Morgan skin possibly arriving the same day, but Epic has not confirmed her inclusion or timing.
  • This continues Fortnite’s run of WWE tie-ins that already brought The Rock, John Cena, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, and The Undertaker into the game.
