Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2, officially titled Showdown, launches on March 19, 2026, and dataminers have already pulled back the curtain on a significant chunk of the upcoming Battle Pass. The season's narrative pits The Foundation against the Ice King in an all-out war reminiscent of Chapter 3 Season 2's Resistance theme — and the pass lineup reflects that conflict with a mix of returning storyline favorites, remixed fan-favorite skins, and at least one wildcard crossover nobody saw coming.
Quick answer: The Fortnite Showdown Battle Pass is expected to include The Foundation, the Ice King, The Order, a Jules remix, Bugs Bunny, and a Raincoat Octopus skin, all for a new price of 800 V-Bucks ($8.99). Two additional unidentified skins are also rumored.
Leaked Fortnite Showdown Battle Pass Skins
Prominent dataminers — including HYPEX, ShiinaBR, and FNBRIntel — have pieced together six of the eight rumored Battle Pass skins. Epic Games also semi-confirmed two of them by featuring new designs for The Foundation and the Ice King in the official Showdown teaser trailer. The trailer shows The Foundation frozen inside a giant ice block alongside Captain America, before cutting to a dramatic face-off between the two headline characters.
| Skin | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The Ice King | Chapter 7 Season 2 original | New design with additional armor edit styles; colored variants (red/black, silver, gold) expected |
| The Foundation | Chapter 7 Season 2 original | New snapshot played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson; gold edit style teased |
| The Order | Remixed Seven member | Updated armor; masked and unmasked variants spotted in Epic Games surveys |
| Jules (Street Jules) | Remix / Survey skin | Midas' daughter returns in a winter-themed remix design |
| Bugs Bunny | Looney Tunes crossover | Part of a broader Looney Tunes collab; Lola Bunny and Daffy Duck expected in the Item Shop instead |
| Raincoat Octopus | Survey skin | Quirky "troll" outfit; appears tied to a new lighthouse POI |
| ??? (Unknown #1) | Unconfirmed | Leakers indicate two additional skins remain unrevealed |
| ??? (Unknown #2) | Unconfirmed | — |
Some leakers have also referenced a Red Demon Knight survey skin as a possible pass inclusion, though its placement hasn't been pinned down. The exact unlock order between levels 1 and 100 is still unknown.
Captain America and Overwatch — Battle Pass or Item Shop?
A World War II–era Captain America skin appeared prominently in the Showdown teaser, frozen in ice alongside The Foundation. Despite the high-profile placement, dataminers remain split on whether this Steve Rogers variant will land in the Battle Pass or arrive as a separate Item Shop purchase. The shield design is notably different from existing Captain America cosmetics in Fortnite, suggesting a distinct MCU-inspired take — possibly tied to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film later in 2026.
An Overwatch crossover is also confirmed for the season, with Tracer, D.Va, Genji, and Mercy all expected to receive skins. One of these — likely Tracer or Genji — may end up in the Battle Pass, though current leaks lean toward them being Item Shop releases. Epic doesn't typically load the pass with multiple collaboration skins, and Bugs Bunny already fills that slot.
All Leaked Chapter 7 Season 2 Skins (Battle Pass + Item Shop)
Beyond the Battle Pass itself, a much larger wave of crossover and original skins has been leaked for the Showdown season. Not all of these will be in the pass — most are expected to rotate through the Item Shop or arrive via special promotions.
| Collaboration / IP | Characters |
|---|---|
| Looney Tunes | Bugs Bunny (pass), Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck |
| Overwatch | Tracer, D.Va, Genji, Mercy |
| Marvel | Captain America (First Avenger / Doomsday version) |
| Game of Thrones | Unspecified characters |
| Crimson Desert | Kliff |
| Toy Story | Woody, Buzz Lightyear |
| Nintendo | Mario, Luigi |
It's worth noting that Epic Games recently filed a lawsuit against a major Fortnite leaker who turned out to be a contract worker at the company. That individual was the original source for the Looney Tunes and Game of Thrones collaboration leaks, which means some of these crossovers could be delayed or altered as a result of the legal proceedings.
Showdown Battle Pass Pricing and V-Bucks Changes
Epic Games announced a significant V-Bucks restructuring that takes effect on March 19 — the same day Chapter 7 Season 2 launches. The dollar price stays the same, but you get fewer V-Bucks per purchase. The Showdown Battle Pass drops from 1,000 V-Bucks to 800 V-Bucks, which still translates to $8.99 in real money.
| Pass / Subscription | Previous Cost | New Cost (March 19+) |
|---|---|---|
| Battle Royale Pass | 1,000 V-Bucks | 800 V-Bucks |
| OG Pass | 1,000 V-Bucks | 800 V-Bucks |
| Music Pass | 1,400 V-Bucks | 1,200 V-Bucks |
| LEGO Pass | 1,400 V-Bucks | 1,200 V-Bucks |
| Battle Bundle | 2,800 V-Bucks | 2,600 V-Bucks |
| Fortnite Crew (monthly V-Bucks) | 1,000 V-Bucks | 800 V-Bucks |
The bigger hit for long-time players is the reward structure. Previously, completing a Battle Pass returned 1,000 V-Bucks plus a 500 V-Bucks bonus in the reward track — 1,500 total. Starting with Showdown, completing the pass only returns 800 V-Bucks, exactly what you paid. The 500 V-Bucks bonus is gone entirely. This is the first time Fortnite has removed that surplus, meaning you can no longer bank extra V-Bucks just by grinding the pass each season.
Season Theme and Map Changes
Showdown's central conflict between The Foundation and the Ice King brings a new snowy biome to the island. The Ice King's castle is expected to replace Clausy Lodge, complete with frozen characters trapped in ice blocks — a visual callback to the Ice Storm event from Chapter 1 Season 7. A new lighthouse POI is also incoming, likely replacing Bumpy Bay, and appears connected to the aquatic-themed skins like the Raincoat Octopus.
Updated key art for the season shows three locations with Zero Point shards embedded in them, hinting that the Zero Point will drive the map changes throughout the season. A third rift gate near Classified Canyon may open a new area that could serve as a base of operations for The Seven.
Leakers have also hinted at a new gameplay mechanic tied to the "Showdown" name — a possible rivals system where players can challenge each other in-game, plus the ability for one player per match to drive the Battle Bus. Neither feature has been officially confirmed by Epic, but teaser text referencing both has been datamined.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 Showdown launches on March 19, 2026. Between the storyline-heavy Battle Pass, the wave of crossover skins, and the V-Bucks pricing shake-up, it's shaping up to be one of the more consequential season transitions in recent memory. Just keep in mind that until Epic officially reveals the full pass on launch day, some of these details could still shift.
