Fortnite is no stranger to adding in new skins based on celebrities and iconic pop culture characters. Just in the past year alone, Epic Games has added skins from Indiana Jones, the MCU, and Star Wars, with there being a rumor of Dragon Ball characters being added soon as well.
The next skin to come to the ever-popular battle royale game is none other than the 16-time WWE champion, John Cena, who has made himself a sort of a household name at this point, even to people who aren't at all familiar with the world of wrestling. Thanks to John Cena's many partnerships and acting chops, he's everywhere right now.
How to Get the John Cena Skin in Fortnite
Yes, John Cena will soon have a skin available in Fortnite, but players will only have only one way to get their hands on it, as well as the other themed cosmetics.
As of the time of writing, the John Cena Outfit can only be purchased via the Fortnite Item Shop starting July 28, 2022, at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT. The Outfit pack will come with the Entrance Gear and Ring Gear Styles (shown in the featured image of this guide).
The WWE Championship Title Back Bling is also included with the John Cena outfit, but the Five Digit Slapper Pickaxe and the U Can't C Me Emote will be part of the set, which typically costs more than the base skin.
How Much is the John Cena Skin?
There's no information from Epic Games just yet on how much the new outfit will cost once it hits the stores, but it'll probably fall in the 1800-2000 V-Buck range.
Right now, Fortnite players can purchase V-Bucks with real-world money. 1000 V-Bucks go for $7.99, and 2800 V-Bucks go for $19.99, so expect to spend around $18 for the John Cena skin --it all depends on how many V-Bucks players already have and how much they're willing to purchase.
Will the John Cena Skin Ever Be Free?
As far as we know, there are no plans to release the John Cena outfit for free, either as part of a questline or event. The skin is being added to Fortnite to celebrate Epic Games' Epic SummerSlam event, so there's a chance that the skin could go away once the event is over, which could be the end of the summertime.
Fortnite is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
