AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Jason Statham has brought his upcoming film Shelter into Fortnite via a new 1-4 player co-op roguelike custom map featuring original voice work and island code 2883-8391-6703.
Fortnite continues to blur the lines between Hollywood blockbusters and interactive entertainment. A brand new custom map tied to the upcoming action thriller Shelter is available to play right now. Developed in collaboration with creative agency Sawhorse and Chartis Interactive, the experience turns Epic Games' massive platform into a stage for star-studded promotion. It is a smart cross-media play that drops players straight into the promotional cycle of a major film release.
The 1 to 4 player co-op roguelike places you alongside former rogue assassin Michael Mason, played by Jason Statham himself. Featuring original voice recordings from the action star, the map is set on a remote island bracing for a massive storm. Players must coordinate with their squad to hold off relentless waves of enemies breaching the perimeter. The primary objective is defending Jessie, played in the film by Bodhi Rae Breathnach, who is holed up inside a reinforced lighthouse.
This release highlights how custom maps built in Creative mode serve as major marketing hubs for entertainment brands. Instead of watching a traditional trailer, fans can step into the universe of the film with friends and play through a custom scenario. You can dive into the action right now by entering island code 2883-8391-6703 in Fortnite. Shelter hits theaters on January 30, 2026, offering a traditional cinematic follow-up to your gaming sessions. Read the original coverage on IGN South Africa.
