Will there be a Fortnite Polka Dot Man character skin added to Epic’s popular battle royale? The Fortnite Suicide Squad collaboration starts today with the arrival of Bloodsport, hot on the heels of The Suicide Squad movie’s US and HBO Max release this Thursday — and a datamine of the Fortnite 3.25 patch today suggests Polka Dot Man could be added to the game, as well as possibly the rest of Task Force X too.
Will there be a Fortnite Polka Dot Man skin added?
According to Fortnite leakers who datamined the recent patch, ‘Polka Dot Man’ seems to be encrypted in the game’s new files. There is also reference to a ‘Task Force X’ set, which is the official name for the Suicide Squad. This could either be a new bundle of skins or just a collection of sprays, as revealed by @HYPEX on Twitter. While Polka-Dot Man is included in this spray set, the character was seemingly found separate, suggesting he may be a full skin as well.

As Harley Quinn is already in the game, HypeX also theorizes that Peacemaker and King Shark could be coming to Fortnite too. Both of which would make just as much sense as Bloodsport, if not more so. With Bloodsport out today, Superman coming on August 12, and The Suicide Squad movie out later this week in the US, if the rest of the Squad are coming it’ll probably happen soon. The amusing thing is that Deadpool and Marvel’s X-Force are already in Fortnite, which means fans may be able to battle Task Force X vs. X-Force very soon.
As for The Suicide Squad, it’s holding steady as the highest-rated DC movie ever, and there’s also a post-credits scene that points at exciting things to come for DC — so it’s likely there’ll be a Suicide Squad 3 in due course.
