Fortnite<\/a> has confirmed that The Foundation, its heroic character voiced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, will return next season – and begun an Avengers: Doomsday-style countdown for his reappearance.<\/p>\n

A cinematic teaser trailer released today shows The Foundation currently frozen in ice, captured by The Ice King (another important character in Fortnite lore). Still, players expect they’ll be able to break out The Rock’s character in the battle royale mode’s next season, which begins in shortly over a week’s time.<\/p>\n

Indeed, today’s teaser reveals the official name for Epic Games’ next slice of Fortnite, and riffs on the wording seen in recent Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> teasers (not that they’re actually teasers<\/a>, apparently) to confirm the return of several key characters.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

“The Foundation and The Ice King will return in Fortnite: Showdown,” the teaser states, before the words shift into a date (March 19, 2026) and then a countdown clock revealing the weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds left to go until the update drops. <\/p>\n

The teaser itself reveals a new in-game location, which looks to be a fresh and more detailed version of The Ice King’s classic Polar Peak fortress. Previous in-game imagery had teased this wintry palace, and suggested it was home to one of the game’s current Zero Point shard macguffins.<\/p>\n

The suggestion here is that this new Ice King is working with Fortnite’s current baddie, The Dark Voyager, to reunite the Zero Point’s broken shards for nefarious means. But previous Fortnite lore, doled out through graphic novels, painted the original Ice King as something of a more noble figure, who freezes beings he has deemed a threat to reality. Fans have suggested the Dark Voyager is capable of corrupting previous Fortnite characters (such as Lynx) to do his bidding. Or maybe the Ice King really has just broken bad?<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The original Ice King was a mysterious character who kept a prisoner in his dungeon back in Fortnite’s first chapter (something recently glimpsed again via the Fortnite OG mode, which retells the game’s original storyline). In today’s teaser, however, the new Ice King is shown to have several other captives, too, including golden skeleton lady Orelia and Marvel’s own Steve Rogers (though his may just be yet another nod to Doomsday<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The teaser concludes with The Ice King sidling up to The Foundation, frozen mid-punch. How he’ll escape remains to be seen, though one things for certain: with newly-tweaked designs for The Foundation and The Ice King on show here, fans will have several must-have new skins to obtain next season.<\/p>\n

Recent weeks have seen several surviving members of Fortnite’s heroic Seven faction return in game, including a new version of The Visitor voiced by a very familiar-sounding actor<\/a>. Fortnite is yet to officially confirm the return of Dwayne Johnson to his own role, though fans seemingly won’t have long to wait until The Foundation speaks once more.<\/p>\n\n
