## Summary

Fortnite is bringing John Wick to its Reload game mode, reimagined as a character within the game's Simpsons-themed Springfield map. Players who own the current battle pass will be able to unlock the assassin, tying together two major crossovers in one update and giving fans of the popular Reload spin-off fresh reason to return to the mode.

The Simpsons' Springfield map, first featured in Fortnite's main battle royale mode late last year, returns for Reload, which gives players three lives and quick respawns. New additions include The Confidential, a neutral zone with passive healing and proximity chat where players can choose to break the peace and attack for better loot at the risk of being marked; an exclusive extractable John Wick Sprite that reveals nearby enemies after eliminations; extra reboots for solo players who damage opponents; and chests that restock over time, a first for the game. John Wick joins Homer Simpson in Fortnite Reload from Thursday 30 July, with roughly three weeks available to unlock him.
