John Wick and his dog arrive in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 with a battle pass full of new features
With John Wick, a revamped Slone, and a live event on June 5, the start of Fortnite Runners is shaping up to be one of Chapter 7's most memorable.
The deadliest assassin in cinema returns to the Fortnite island, and this time he brings with him a completely renewed style. Epic Games has just confirmed that John Wick will be one of the star skins of the new Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, also known as the Runners season, which will officially start on June 6, 2026. Yes, the lord of dogs and gold coins returns to the most popular battle royale in the world, and he does not come alone.
John Wick arrives with a look you've never seen before
The new season is called Fortnite Runners and will bring with it a renewed map, fresh mechanics and, naturally, a battle pass packed with content that is worth every V-Bucks invested. The pre-season live event, called Fortnite Shattered, will take place on June 5 and will close Chapter 7 Season 2, leaving the way clear for the servers to start again with all the artillery on the 6th.
All the skins that arrive with the new Battle Pass
The Fortnite Runners Battle Pass confirmed a total of eight new skins, and the variety is real. Here's everything Epic Games has shown so far:
What's clear is that Epic Games combined high-profile collaborations with original characters to put together one of the most balanced passes in a long time. It is not just a show of guest stars, it also has its own character.
Why this Fortnite season is a great time to get back into the game
If you've been away from the island for a while, Fortnite Runners could be exactly the excuse you needed to return. The arrival of John Wick in a unique artistic version, combined with the return of iconic lore characters like Slone and the inclusion of a massive streamer like TheBurntPeanut, creates a pass that appeals to both veterans and new players.
The Shattered event on June 5 promises to be one of the most cinematic moments of the current season before the big reset. Being connected for that live event is almost mandatory, because Fortnite knows how to make season transitions that stick in your memory. After that, June 6 will be the start day of something new, with a battle pass that, on paper, already has all the ingredients to become one of the most talked about of the year.
