Fortnite Is Giving Away a Free Control Resonant Skin With Epic Games Store Pre-Orders
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment are offering a free Dylan Faden skin in Fortnite for players who purchase Control Resonant on the Epic Games Store.
Remedy Entertainment is finally expanding its weird and wonderful universe later this year with the release of Control Resonant on September 24, 2026. Taking control of Jesse's brother Dylan Faden and his shapeshifting Aberrant weapon, players are stepping out of the Oldest House and onto the surreal streets of Manhattan for a full action RPG experience. Ahead of the launch, Epic Games is teaming up with Remedy to bridge the gap between platforms with a neat crossover bonus for players.
Anyone who purchases Control Resonant on the Epic Games Store will unlock the Dylan Faden Fortnite skin for free starting August 26, timed nicely right before the original game's seventh anniversary. For players who prefer to wait or game on other setups, Epic has confirmed the skin will eventually hit the in-game Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. If you pick it up in the shop and later buy the game on the Epic Games Store, you will receive a standard V-Bucks refund, though refunding the game itself will strip the cosmetic from your locker.
This kind of cross-promotional bundle is a smart way to drive platform loyalty while feeding the ever-hungry Fortnite cosmetic ecosystem. As noted in reporting by Polygon, early hands-on previews suggest Remedy has successfully translated the distinct identity of Control into a faster, action-heavy format without losing its signature atmosphere. You can check out the original report over at Polygon for more details on how the sequel is shaping up.
