## Summary

Epic Games has confirmed that Mega Man is joining Fortnite as part of the Chapter 7 Season 4 "Override" update, which is themed around retro gaming and hacking. The character had been teased since the start of the season but had not yet appeared in-game; his arrival will now be tied to a dedicated in-game tournament rather than a straightforward Item Shop release, giving players a chance to earn the cosmetics for free.

A Mega Man Cup is set to take place on Tuesday 8 September, reportedly a duos tournament running across Battle Royale, Zero Build and mobile servers, with top-performing regional participants earning the Mega Man skin and its Mega Man X-style alternative for free. Additional rewards include an emoticon for reaching eight points from eliminations and survival time, and a spray for landing 25 Mega Buster eliminations (five on mobile), with the skins expected to hit the Item Shop shortly after, likely Wednesday or Thursday. A teaser also confirmed that Zero, from Mega Man X, will follow as a second skin in the collaboration.
