Fortnite: How To Unlock Eren Yeager (UPDATED)

Fortnite: Chapter 4 – Season 2 is finally here after the pretty long Season 1, and it’s looking like it’s making a huge splash right out of the gate with another massive crossover. Attack on Titan‘s Eren Yeager (or Eren Jaeger, as they’ve incorrectly called him) is on the Fortnite island. And you can unlock him as a skin, though you’re going to have to be patient.

With the penultimate part of Attack on Titan just released and the new season featuring more Japanese-esque location, a collaboration with Fortnite makes total sense, even if the actual character of Eren isn’t the most family friendly. Luckily, though, the Eren skin here is his Scout version from the early seasons.

To unlock Eren Yeager in Fortnite, players must first purchase the Chapter 4 – Season 2 Battle Pass. The Battle Pass can be purchased with either 950 V-Bucks, or a subscription to Fortnite Crew, which also gives you 1000 V-Bucks each month.

Once players have access to the Battle Pass, all they simply have to do is wait. Like most recent seasons, this Battle Pass crossover is the “secret” skin of Season 2, meaning that players have to wait for it to become available. Just like Geralt of Rivia and Indiana Jones before him, players will have to bide their time until Eren’s quests become available on Saturday, April 15th, 2023.

As well as completing quests to unlock Eren himself, players will also be grind to unlock other Eren cosmetics, like an emote. There’s even a variant style that will become available at some point. It’s also highly likely that the Scout ODM gear will release as a Mythic around this time, as it can be seen in the gameplay trailer for Season 2.

Bear in mind that you must unlock Eren as part of this Battle Pass this season, as he will never be released into the Item Shop. If you don’t manage to unlock him in time, you will never be able to unlock him. However, other versions of the character (as well as other Attack on Titan characters) may release in the Item Shop down the line.

Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
