Video game performer and part-time jester extraordinaire Ben Starr is on his way to Fortnite, the actor has confirmed.

It's been a rather spectacular few years for Starr, who, after shooting to prominence as Clive in Final Fantasy 16, has gone on to play the likes of Prometheus in Hades 2 and Balatro's Jimbo at various live events.

Now, nearly a year on from perhaps his best role yet as Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Starr is set to join Fortnite's iconic The Seven as The Visitor.

In a post on X, Starr wrote "I'm joining Fortnite as The Visitor. I'm so excited to bring back this iconic member of The Seven. I imagine I'll be very normal about it," alongside an image of him gazing lovingly at The Visitor's in-game model.

This collection of intergalactic heroes typically poke their heads into the game during Live Events, helping put an end to whatever chaotic goings on are threatening the Fortnite world at that time.

Having taken a break from the story in 2022, The Seven were brought back in style during last year's Zero Hour Live Event.

The Visitor himself was first introduced to the game in the first ever Live Event back in 2018, but ceased to exist after being Chromed in Chapter 3 Season 4.

Starr's version of The Visitor is, therefore, a new incarnation, arriving from a separate reality.

Starr joins The Seven alongside plenty of other heavy hitters, including leader The Foundation (Dwayne Johnson), The Paradigm (Brie Larsen), The Scientist (Joel McHale), The Origin (Rahul Kohli), The Order (Laura Bailey) and The Imagined (Cherami Leigh).

The Visitor is set to make his triumphant return to Battle Royale Island in time for the upcoming Live Event, rounding out the current season in preparation of the start of Chapter 7 Season 2.

Fans of Korean monster hunting are set to eat good this week, as by all accounts, we're going to see Solo Leveling in Fortnite, and we’ve got some release date speculation to find out exactly when, as well as what to expect in terms of content.

First published in 2016, Solo Leveling has massively grown, with webtoon adaptations, animes and even a live-action series in the works. It’s just as well that we’re getting some Solo Leveling action now, as series producer Sota Furuhashi wants a 3-year hiatus before season 3. They’ve even taken to Reddit to ask fans for help to get season 3 made.

It’s likely to happen, however, given just how big of a hit it’s been on Crunchyroll.

But, with all that said, let’s see exactly when we can expect Solo Leveling in Fortnite!

Solo Leveling in Fortnite release date speculation

Solo Leveling skins will come to Fortnite Thursday 19 February 2026, according to leaks.

Rumours about the collaboration started to emerge in recent days, but then the official Fortnite account posted a teaser on X (formerly Twitter).

Given that the next Fortnite update is 19 February and Epic Games is teasing Solo Leveling a couple of days beforehand, it’s likely that it will be this date.

If any sort of delay happens, or we get an actual confirmation, we will let you know in due time.

Solo Leveling in Fortnite: what to expect

According to AdiraFNInfo on X, a known Fortnite leaker, the Solo Levelling collaboration will potentially feature Sung Jin-woo, Cha Hae-in, and Igris or Beru skins.

Fellow leaker HYPEX shared the findings on X.

Of course, none of this is actually confirmed, and we have yet to see any datamined assets, so this is, as always, to be taken with a pinch of salt. However, HYPEX and AdiraFNInfo rarely miss, and it’s usually a safe bet that what they reveal will likely come to fruition.

Once an official announcement is made, we will update this page with all the juicy details!

A collaboration between two of the biggest franchises in gaming, Fortnite and Minecraft, has been long-requested. Today, collaboration rumours have started.

Fortnite and Minecraft have become household names, and despite both franchises’ meteoric rise to prominence (and multitude of crossover events for both), they have never collaborated before. New rumours hit the Fortnite feed almost daily, and it’s about time the Mojang juggernaut Minecraft, has entered the picture. A new rumour indicates that Battle Island could be accepting new entrants with Minecraft, in what would be one of their biggest crossover events to date (this is the company that has thrown an Eminem concert in-game).

MINECRAFT x FORTNITE IS *RUMORED* TO BE IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT

The information about the potential Minecraft crossover being in early development comes from an X user (formerly Twitter), AdiraFNInfo, then reposted by the reliable Fortnite leaker HYPEX (which lent ‘credibility’ to the leak). HYPEX’s post has ‘rumoured’ emblazoned across the post, so even that account hasn’t been able to confirm if this rumour is true or not. It’s worth noting that alongside other prominent Fortnite leakers like ShiinaBR (who echoed the Minecraft rumours in their own post) on X (who has been responsible for some of the most accurate ‘leaks’ coming to Fortnite), HYPEX has “Epic Games Partner” in their bio, alongside a blue checkmark for verification.

The next confirmed season scheduled to hit Battle Island will be Chapter 7, Season 2, following the current Pacific Break season, which has been steeped in Hollywood and Tarantino additions to the Item Shop. As of these rumours, nothing has been confirmed as concrete regarding the next season. Although both accounts have been responsible for accurate leaks before, fans should take this news with a grain of salt until the collaboration is confirmed by Mojang Studios or Epic Games. Both parties will undoubtedly have a huge announcement if it’s indeed going down.

The top five games played on the PlayStation in 2025 by US players were exactly the same as in 2024, according to Circana's Player Engagement Tracker.

The South Park collab in Fortnite Chapter Seven Season One is now live, and you'll need to go to the toilet (no, literally) in the game to complete one of the quests.

The first set of Born in Chaos quests requires you to visit Flushers across three separate matches, which are blue temporary toilets placed across various locations on the map.

All Flusher locations in Fortnite

Flushers appear to be quite common in the eastern and northern parts of the map. I have marked their locations in the image below to make it easier for you to find.

• The Classified Canyon has a Flusher on each side of the main triangular building.
• There's one at the Collider Corridor Beta landmark, located in the northern part of the Classified Canyon.
• The Gas Station in the middle of Latte Landing and Painted Palms
• In Cartmanland, you'll find one at the top of the Voyage to the Centre of the Planet waterslide.

I am pretty sure there are more of them elsewhere on the map, and we will update the map with them later down the line.

How to use Flushers in different matches in Fortnite

Once you find a Flusher, interact with the door to enter. You have to repeat this across three different matches. At first, I thought that you had to use different Flushers, but that's not the main criterion. To complete the quest, you have to visit at least one Flusher in three different rounds.

I have tested this, and visiting the same Flusher across different rounds will count. Once you approach a door, you'll get the option to press E and teleport. The Flushers appear to be a quick-travel network that allows you to visit different POIs quickly.

The South Park collab in Fortnite has introduced two new currencies in the form of Memberberries and CRED, and the former will help you earn a free glider.

It's relatively easy to get Memberberries if you're playing Fortnite while the South Park collab is active. However, you'll need to find six of them to get the gliders, and this quick guide will help you figure out all the possible ways.

How to gather Memberberries in Fortnite

Unlike all the new items and weapons coming to Fortnite from South Park, you can't loot Memberberries. You can only get them by completing the different Born in Chaos quests. Stage one is currently live in the game, and there will be five more stages.

Stage one, for example, has six quests to complete. When you complete any four of them, you'll get a Memberberry. Of course, the process will be slow. Stage two quest goes live only on Thursday, and you can't get the second Memberberry before then (as of writing).

All Memberberry quests in Fortnite

Here are all the stage one quests that are currently live in Fortnite.

• Ride different rides or eliminate players at Cartmanland (either five rides or five players).
• Hit opponents with SMGs (100 damage).
• After getting knocked, eliminate a player (One player).
• Become a boss (Any boss will work).
• Use Flushers in different matches (Across three different rounds).
• Damage opponents within 10 seconds of swimming (Deal 200 damage within 10 seconds after you have swam).

Complete any four, and you'll earn the first Memberberry. I will add the next set of quests once they're live in the game.

The Stick of Truth is now available in Fortnite as part of the South Park collab, and it's an extremely strong item that can completely change the tide of a battle.

The Mythic item might help you win a round, but to do so, you have to obtain it first. Doing so will require you to reach the correct location on the map, and this guide will elaborate on all the steps.

How to get the Stick of Truth in Fortnite

The northwest part of the map has a new POI called Cartmanland. This is a South Park-themed POI that has replaced Wonkeeland. This spot not only offers fun mini-games, but you can also obtain the Stick of Truth and other items like Kenny's Respawn Token from the marked location on the image below.

Go towards the eastern edge of Cartmanland, where the castle stage is located. The spot has a massive mural of Cartman as the backdrop. You'll find the Stick of Truth on a red cushion on top of a concrete pedestal.

Additionally, you can only find the Stick of Truth if a Rift Anomaly of the same name is active. When the Rift Anomaly pops up, you'll get an in-game message saying that you'll need to grab the stick to control the storm.

You will also have to be the first person to reach the spot if you want to claim the stick. Once it's been claimed, you'll get another message

How to use the Stick of Truth in Fortnite

The Stick of Truth can be used only once. It allows the user to control the storm, deciding its destination. If you have found it, activate it immediately to spin a surprise for your opponents.

However, run as fast as you can and be on the move if someone else has claimed it. The storm can move anywhere on the map, and being caught out can end your round. Try to get close to Cartmanland since chances are that the person who has found it is in the same POI.

Epic is kicking off 2026 with their first major Fortnite collab event of the year, as South Park has been smushed into the enduring battle royale. There’s some fun new twists here, from the 5-player Quints playlist, to the Cartmanland POI and a free Born in the Chaos battle pass.

Having dredged up the powerful Stick of Truth, Butters has forced Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny to play Fortnite with him. The stick is so powerful, it’s managed to bend the game code to allow all five of them to team up in the Quints playlist.

Here’s what else you’ll find in this event, running from today through 5th February:

• Gameplay Items: Players can restore health, heal allies, or damage enemies with Cheesy Poofs; reboot automatically after being eliminated with the one-time-use Kenny’s Respawn Token; and for the first time ever, control where the Storm goes by retrieving the one-time-use Stick of Truth from the sky.
• Cartmanland: Drop into a new POI: Cartman’s massive personal theme park! Cartmanland features rideable thrills such as CHAOS BLAST, Voyage to the Center of the Planet, and Pi Pi’s Splash Town.
• The Born in Chaos Pass: With no V-Bucks required, the Born in Chaos Pass features 13 South Park-themed items players can unlock – including a Cheesy Poofs Emote, Back Blings, Pickaxes, and more – by completing new South Park Quests.

Epic has always been pretty hot on the IP collabs, but it certainly feels as though they’re picking up the pace on some of these. In the last few months of 2025 along, they brought the K-Pop Demon Hunters into the game from the hit Netflix movie, and the there was the whole Simpsons crossover.

South Park is hardly a stranger to the realms of video games, from one of the most popular and enduring episodes of the show having featured World of Warcraft at the peaks of its early popularity, to the menagerie of tie-in games from the tail end of the PS1 and N64 era, through to the popular RPG duology Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole – it’s obviously Stick of Truth that Fortnite is leaning on to get the boys into the game.

The game is back on the Google Play Store, but another court decision is rolling back some of the developer-friendly changes on iOS.
