Fortnite is serving up a new blend of gaming and nostalgia this week as part of its Father’s Day festivities. Partnering with FOX Animation, Epic Games has introduced one of television’s favorite burger-flipping fathers, Bob Belcher from Bob’s Burgers, to the battle royale scene.
Bob Belcher is now genuinely exploring the Fortnite island as the newest member of the “Animated Dads” cast. With his reputation for tenacity and comedic frustration, Bob adds a special something to the cast of Fortnite.
While it’s probably hoped by fans that the rest of the Belcher family would follow, this first drop centers Bob alone, to great enjoyment by players who simply want to flip patties during a match.
What’s included in the Bob Belcher Bundle?
Through its part in the FOX-branded bundle release, Bob’s pack offers a fully themed set of cosmetics:
- Bob Belcher Outfit (1,500 V‑Bucks)
- Bob’s Burger Turner Pickaxe (500 V‑Bucks)
- Burger of the Day Loading Screen (400 V‑Bucks)
- Bob’s Happy Dance Emote (400 V‑Bucks)
- Wing Burger Back Bling (400 V‑Bucks)
The added loading screen is a nice touch, indicating Fortnite’s desire to create an immersive scene for this crossover.
Release Date & Pricing
Leaks and confirmations through solid Fortnite sources such as ShiinaBR reveal an open window of three days around Father’s Day. While there is a reported shop arrival on June 13, others mention an official launch as early as June 14.
This aligns perfectly with Fortnite’s global shop reset times: midnight GMT or 8 p.m. EDT the day before. Let’s take a look at the pricing:
- Bob Belcher bundle: 2,000 V‑Bucks (discounted from full price, combining all items)
- Hank Hill & Cleveland Brown bundles: Also priced around 2,000 V‑Bucks each
Standalone skins are available at 1,500 V‑Bucks, while individual accessories range from 400 V‑Bucks (emotes/loading screens) to 800 V‑Bucks (pro pickaxes and back blings). If
