Look for the Batman / Fortnite FaZe Clan Deathrun map in Fortnite’s Creative Hub.

This comes on the heels of an incredibly successful run of Fortnite tournaments and events hosted by FaZe Clan including the most recent “FaZe Sway: Fortnite Zone Wars Tournament powered by G FUEL” which saw eight teams compete for a prize pool total of $25,000 on a custom-made Zone Wars map. Additionally, FaZe Clan teamed up with Manchester City in January for the “FaZe City Cup” featuring Fortnite to celebrate global football (soccer) in Fortnite alongside more than 20 other top football clubs around the world. FaZe Clan also hosted the “Elite Cup Series” featuring Fortnite alongside Nissan earlier this year.

In Batman / Fortnite: Zero Point, a crack splits the sky above Gotham City... a tear in reality itself. This rift pulls the Dark Knight into a bizarre and unfamiliar world, with no memory of who he is or where he came from...Batman has been drawn into Fortnite!

As he fights to recall his past and escape an endless loop of chaos and struggle, he’ll come face-to-face with the likes of Renegade Raider, Fishstick, Bandolier, and more. While the world's greatest detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he’ll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point.

Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point uncovers secrets never before revealed in game or anywhere else! Every fan of Batman, Fortnite, stunning art and edge-of-your-seat excitement won't want to miss the Caped Crusader facing off against Fortnite champions on the Island, in a desperate attempt to save not only himself, but other familiar faces from the DCU…and perhaps the Multiverse itself!
