Here’s what you can expect when Negan drops into Fortnite!
One of The Walking Dead's most vile and intimidating villains is coming to Fortnite. Negan, who appeared prominently in the comic series and TV show, will soon drop into Fortnite with his iconic barbed wire bat, which he affectionately calls "Lucille." This marks the third Fortnite x The Walking Dead crossover.
However, Negan's Fortnite skin is based on his comic book appearance rather than Jeffrey Dean Morgan's portrayal in the TV series. This article details the release date, cost, and a complete look at the new in-game outfit.
Negan Fortnite skin: Release date, first look, and cost
The Negan Fortnite Bundle launches on April 4 and includes four items: the skin, Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Wrap. Apart from the Back Bling, each will be available individually, or you can grab them all via the Bundle. Regarding references, Negan partly became famous for using the barbed wire "Lucille" bat.
Using this weapon, he has beaten down many characters and "walkers," so it's only fitting that it becomes his Pickaxe. The zombie head Back Bling is a fun compliment, showing what universe Negan originated in. Negan's Wrap directly references the many times he smashed his opposition's heads with Lucille.
Here is a complete list of the Negan Fortnite cosmetics and how much they will cost:
- Negan Outfit - 1,500 V-Bucks
- Walker's Headcase Back Bling - 400 V-Bucks
- Lucille Pickaxe - 800 V-Bucks
- Krakk! - 500 V-Bucks
- Negan Bundle (includes everything above) - 2,000 V-Bucks

How else is The Walking Dead involved in Fortnite?
The Fortnite x The Walking Dead collaboration began in Chapter 2 Season 5, with Daryl Dixon and Michonne joining the game as playable skins. Rick Grimes joined in Chapter 2 Season 8, and the crossover went silent for four years.
Fortnite's upcoming addition of Negan coincides with an effort in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). Epic Games' advanced creative map maker recently added The Walking Dead assets to the environment so players could build their own TWD-inspired maps.
The Negan Fortnite skin drives this collaboration home, bringing arguably the universe's most iconic villains into the mix. You can expect him in the Item Shop on April 4 at 8 p.m. ET.
