Overview of The Walking Dead Characters in Fortnite
- Players can engage with iconic characters from both The Walking Dead TV series and comic books within Fortnite.
- Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan has expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of his character, Negan, joining the Fortnite universe.
The intersection of The Walking Dead and Fortnite began in December 2020 with the introduction of skins for Daryl Dixon and Michonne, shortly after they were revealed at The Game Awards. The subsequent year saw the addition of Rick Grimes in October, expanding the universe of characters available in Fortnite.
The available skins are vibrant representations of the television adaptations portrayed by actors Norman Reedus (Daryl), Danai Gurira (Michonne), and Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes). Notably, while Daryl does not feature in the original comic narratives, Michonne and Rick are pivotal characters. However, the collaboration between AMC and Fortnite has focused solely on the TV series heroes.
Recently, in response to fan inquiries, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who famously portrayed Negan in the TV series, shared his excitement about potentially seeing a version of Negan in Fortnite. He noted that despite Negan’s evolution into a beloved character, his initial portrayal as a formidable villain left a lasting impact. Morgan expressed a desire to reunite virtually with Andrew Lincoln’s character, adding an intriguing layer to fan interactions within the game.
Of course. Pretty sure this is a deal that @skybound made? Besides, CB Negan is damn awesome! Though, admittedly, it’d be pretty cool to have the two versions of Negan. Be fun to hang with Andy as Rick again. — Jeffrey Dean Morgan (@JDMorgan) April 4, 2025
Future Prospects for Negan in Fortnite
- The potential introduction of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan character could lead to market competition with the already existing comic book version in Fortnite.
While the nature of the agreements between Robert Kirkman and AMC remains undisclosed, there is hope for the introduction of this new variant of Negan soon. His items are included in the Survivor in Arms set, which aligns him with both Rick and Michonne’s skins. Historical precedence indicates that Fortnite has successfully launched multiple variations of characters in the past, as seen with different skins for popular figures like Juice WRLD.
The Negan bundle available in Fortnite includes an impressive array of items: the Negan skin itself, Lucille (his signature bat used as a pickaxe), the Walker’s Headcase back bling, and the KRAKK! weapon wrap, enriching the gameplay experience for fans.
