The Traveler from Cronos: The New Dawn has landed in Fortnite as a crossover outfit, and there is a way to add it to your locker without spending V-Bucks. The catch is that the freebie route requires buying Bloober Team's survival horror title through a specific storefront, with the purchase tied to the same account you use for Fortnite.
Who qualifies for the free Traveler Outfit
The promotion is limited to new Epic Games Store purchases of Cronos: The New Dawn made after Tuesday, April 21. If you already own the game on Epic from before that date, or you bought it on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, the skin does not grant automatically. Those players need to pay 1,500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop instead.
The entitlement is attached to your Epic Games account, so there is no redemption code to enter. Logging into Fortnite on the same account is enough for the outfit to show up in your cosmetics.
Pricing and what you get
| Option | Price | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cronos: The New Dawn (Epic Games Store) | $59.99 base game | Full game plus the Traveler Outfit in Fortnite |
| Fortnite Item Shop | 1,500 V-Bucks (~$15.99) | Traveler Outfit only |
The outfit keeps the design from the source game, including the helmet, armor, and the Sword MK-1615 weapon accessory. It will remain listed in the Fortnite Item Shop until April 28, 2026, at 8 PM ET.
Claiming the skin through the Epic Games Store
Step 1: Open the Epic Games Store client or visit the storefront in a browser and sign in with the same Epic account you use for Fortnite. Account matching is the single most common reason the skin does not appear later.
Step 2: Search for Cronos: The New Dawn and complete the checkout at $59.99. The Deluxe Edition also qualifies if you prefer that tier.
Step 3: Launch Fortnite on your platform of choice and open your locker. The Traveler Outfit will be listed alongside your other skins, typically surfaced when sorting by Newest.
Buying it directly in Fortnite
If horror games aren't your thing, or you already own Cronos on another platform, the Item Shop is the straightforward route. Head into Fortnite, open the Shop tab, and look for the Cronos: The New Dawn section. Select the Traveler Outfit and confirm the 1,500 V-Bucks purchase. Like other Item Shop skins, it drops into your locker right after the transaction clears.
How to confirm the unlock worked
After purchasing on Epic, boot Fortnite and check the locker. If the outfit is missing, verify three things: the Epic account used for the purchase is the same one linked to your Fortnite profile, the purchase completed successfully (not refunded or pending), and the purchase date falls on or after April 21, 2026. Pre-existing ownership on Epic or purchases on rival platforms do not backfill the skin.
About the source game
Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror from Bloober Team, the Polish studio behind the Silent Hill 2 remake. It released on September 5, 2025, and is set across a decaying future and 1980s-era Poland, with the player controlling a Traveler extracting souls for a group called the Collective. A free demo is also available if you want to try the game before committing to the full purchase.
Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team, framed the collaboration as a chance to drop a darker protagonist into Fortnite's world, noting the studio is among the few Polish developers to have a main character featured in the game.
If you plan to grab the outfit through the Item Shop instead, don't wait past the April 28, 2026 cutoff at 8 PM ET, since its return date after that is not confirmed.
