Epic’s DC Sirens Bring the Heat to Fortnite went live on July 16, 2026, adding a new Bat Cave POI, the Batman Beach Buggy, and the Batman Grapnel Gun to Battle Royale. Epic says new quests also unlock a Batman Sprite collection reward. (fortnite.com)
The event also includes a limited-time schedule called Shiny Hours on July 18, with two windows: 2 PM ET to 4 PM ET and 9 PM ET to 11 PM ET. During those windows, every player starts with a Batman Grapnel Gun and Self-Revive Device, and Batman Sprite and Beach Buggy spawns are increased. (fortnite.com)
A new way to win
Epic is also testing a late-game twist called Battle Bus Victory Royale. In some matches, a Rift Anomaly sends the Battle Bus to a marked location as the Storm closes in, and at least one teammate must board it before it rifts away to earn the win. Epic says multiple teams can escape and win the same match. (fortnite.com)
