Epic Games has not confirmed anything regarding the character’s involvement in the game. Black Manta is likely to appear to hype things further among the fans. 

The water level will slowly recede and the game will feature a new map. A leaked map did make the rounds some days back with a place called “The Ruins.” It could be the Atlantis, the underwater kingdom, and the home of Aquaman.

It wouldn’t be fair if Epic Games stick with only DC characters. Fortnite has also brought in a Captain America skin. The first avenger will be available for purchase on the items store. 

Captain America comes in at 2000 V-Bucks. Players who purchase the skin also get the iconic shield. The shield is not just a wearable though, as it also doubles up as a pickaxe. The skin will debut alongside a new grand salute emote. Do note that the emote will cost you 300 V-Bucks. Get both skin and the emote to be the perfect patriot in-game.
