We’ve just seen Predator stalk their way into Fortnite and now it appears as if another iconic 80s action character is on their way too. The Terminator looks like being the next hunter coming to Fortnite — and it seems they’re bringing Sarah Connor along for the ride.
This isn’t the first time Terminator has crossed over into other games — far from it. In fact, games are where the property has been succeeding while the box office has been floundering with Terminator turning up in Gears of War and Mortal Kombat, to name just two. An appearance in Fortnite may be the biggest of them all, though.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Terminator crossover in Fortnite.
Fortnite Terminator Skins: What You Should Know

Targets Description: A ruthless machine and a protector of the future pic.twitter.com/LGXiAadncR— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) January 21, 2021
Shortly following the release of v15.21, Epic Games shared a transmission from Jonesy that seemed to suggest “a ruthless machine and a protector of the future” were on their way to the game. The machine is, of course, the T-800 portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, while the protector of the future can surely only be Sarah Connor, mother of John Connor and franchise heroine.
Along with this, the vault from Terminator 2 has also been found in the files as a portal.

These portals have been popping up all over the map during the course of Season 5, usually right before a new crossover skin becomes available. The reason? Jonesy is bringing hunters from all across the universe onto the Fortnite island with a special device, causing the tears in the process.
Let’s not forget, also, that Arnold Schwarzenegger played Dutch in Predator as well as being the headliner in the Terminator franchise, so all signs points towards him arriving at some point very soon.
Fortnite Terminator Skins Prices
Based on previous crossover skin prices in Fortnite, these Terminator skins should cost you roughly 1,800 V-bucks apiece as they will also likely release with other cosmetics, such as Back Blings.
If it’s the same as other crossovers, we could actually see the skins being released as a bundle for 2,500 V-bucks, though that’s yet to be decided.
Fortnite Terminator Skins Release Date
Historically speaking, whenever a transmission teaser is sent from the official Fortnite Twitter account, the skin in question is then released the very next Item Shop. That means the Terminator skins should be available in Fortnite on January 21st.
However, leaks have so far only found reference to a female model in the files for the game, suggesting that it will just be Sarah Connor that arrives in Fortnite for the time being. With Arnie also being tied to Predator, might we see an Arnie skin down the line that is tied to the iconic action star that comes with three different styles, the third possibly being Conan?
Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PS5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
