Fortnite DC Summer Skins for the Hot Bat Summer event will drop on July 16, 2026, according to the latest update from Epic Games.
Release Timing
The skins will unveil at 8:00 PM EST, immediately after the game’s scheduled downtime concludes. Players can expect the full collection to appear in the Item Shop at that precise moment.
How to Acquire the Skins
Open Fortnite and navigate to the Item Shop. Look for the Gotham City Summer slot and the High Tide Harley & Sunflower Ivy bundle, which sit near the top of the page. Click on a bundle or any individual cosmetic you wish to purchase, press and hold the purchase button until the circle fills, and the items will appear in your locker.
Bundles and Pricing
Epic Games has announced two retail bundles. The Gotham City Summer Bundle costs 5,000 V‑Bucks and includes every cosmetic from the collaboration. The High Tide Harley & Sunflower Ivy Bundle is priced at 3,000 V‑Bucks and offers the same set of items but at a lower cost.
- Harley skin – 1,500 V‑Bucks each
- Sunflower Ivy skin – 1,500 V‑Bucks each
- Catwoman & Batman skins – 1,500 V‑Bucks each
- Back bling – 4,600 V‑Bucks each
- Pickaxe – 4,800 V‑Bucks each
- Emote – 2,400 V‑Bucks each
- Kicks – 1,200 V‑Bucks each
- Bat‑Hound (sidekick) – 1,200 V‑Bucks each
Buying either bundle will deliver a discount versus purchasing items separately.
Other Ways to Get Cosmetics
Players who prefer not to spend V‑Bucks can claim free in‑game skins currently available. Additionally, a future tournament may offer Odyssey Skins as a prize; participants may also try to secure the DC cosmetics for free by completing event challenges.
For players ready to add Gotham to their loadout, log in at 8 PM ET on July 16 and claim the skins. As the skins drop, the game’s locker will fill with the new DC aesthetics for champions to showcase.
