One of the most anticipated collabs has just been confirmed for imminent release, the king of the Hill Fortnite collab! And, apparently, a Bob’s Burgers Fortnite collab too. One of the worst kept secrets in recent months has been the upcoming Hank Hill Fortnite skin. But, instead of getting it for the revival of the show that’s close at hand, it’s coming for Father’s Day.

When Does the Hank Hill Fortnite Skin Release?

In a recent tweet, Epic has started teasing the upcoming King of the Hill Fortnite collab. It’s a bit of a weird tease if you’re not a fan of the show though. It is a still image, of a particularly flat model in a pair of jeans. But, clearly recognizable as the Hank Hill Fortnite skin! The teaser is playing off a plot from the show’s original run, where Hank’s lack of a certain body part is ruled a real medical concern.

The Fortnite teaser asks if they got this part of the character right. Fitting what we know about these skins coming in today’s weirdly empty Fortnite update. Judging from how easy it is to recognize, it’s a close enough resemblance. What’s coming with the King of the Hill Fortnite collab and when can we expect to see it?

Hank Hill Fortnite Collab Coming

This new collab teaser confirms that a King of the Hill Fortnite collab is coming very soon. It seems the assets are already in the game and ready for the item shop rotation. However, since it’s coming before the revival, we’ve also got confirmation of one design element that leakers were unsure about. It’s the classic design of Hank Hill. It won’t be the aged and updated one for the sequel coming this summer.

This new skin might be the only King of the Hill character coming. Epic likes to bring in the wackier characters they can think of, things that shock people by looking bizarre in Fortnite. Lately, they’ve gone back to this well so often, when they added Godzilla only a few eyebrows were raised. Hank Hill is coming to be a popular meme choice though, for those who want to sell propane and propane accessories in Fortnite. Definitely a bit more fun than most of the Chapter 6 Season 3 skins so far.

Bob’s Burgers and Other Cartoons Coming Too

The King of the Hill Fortnite collab is coming soon but it’s coming with a handful of other cartoons too. Hank Hill was initially leaked, and it’s him being teased. However, Fortnite leakers think two more skins are coming at the same time. We can expect Bob from Bob’s Burgers to arrive too. Along with Cleveland from Family Guy. Each of these skins will get their own Bundle with other items. Those extras are currently unknown though.

This is what we can expect in the item shop according to leakers like Loolo_WRLD:

  • Bob Belcher Bundle – 3,200 V-Bucks
  • Cleveland Brown Bundle – 2,900 V-Bucks
  • Hank Hill Bundle – 3,500 V-Bucks
  • Skins on Their Own – 1,500 V-Bucks

The bundles should include some other items inspired by the collabs. Maybe a propane tank or the Hank Hill Fortnite skin, or some kind of kitchen utensil harvesting tool for Bob.

When Do They Release?

The big question with any Fortnite collab in leaks is always, when’s it coming? We don’t have confirmation of a release date for King of the Hill Fortnite skins so far. However, leakers expect them to be added to the item Shop on Friday! This would line up with their Father’s Day theme that’s been discussed by leakers already.

All of the collab skins should be arriving in the Fortnite Item Shop rotation at the weekend. Since the game already has their assets in the file, we’ll likely get an early look at them in the next few days as the items are de-encrypted ready to be turned on.
