Fortnite announces Matt Damon’s Odysseus skin ahead of Nolan’s movie

Fortnite has revealed its The Odyssey crossover ahead of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which hits theaters on July 17, and it brings Matt Damon’s version of Odysseus into the game.

It’s mostly a cosmetic set: the Odysseus Outfit, Odysseus’ Xiphos Pickaxe, and the Bow of Iphytus Back Bling. The crossover also extends Epic Games’ 2026 streak of pop-culture collabs, which has already passed 30 and includes names like Sonic the Hedgehog and Vampire Survivors. Epic even threw in a nod to Homer with the line, “Don’t give me consolation about death, glorious Odysseus,” Achilles’ quote from the underworld passage in the original epic, the one about Odysseus trying to make it home after the Trojan War while dealing with shipwrecks, monsters, meddling gods, and years of loss.

So far, Epic Games has only officially announced Odysseus. Leakers, though, are also pointing to Agamemnon and Penelope, and that lines up with Fortnite’s usual habit of building out a crossover after the first wave lands. Nolan has been here before, too. The Odyssey isn’t his first Fortnite connection, following tie-ins tied to Tenet, Inception, and Batman Begins back in 2020.

If you’re into Fortnite’s movie crossovers, this one looks like an easy pickup. Epic says players can try to unlock the items early through the Odyssey Cup on July 15 and 16, or just grab them from the Fortnite Item Shop on July 17.
