This Father’s Day, Fortnite is serving up a hearty dose of animated dad energy with a new collaboration featuring three beloved television fathers: Bob Belcher from Bob’s Burgers, Cleveland Brown from Family Guy, and Hank Hill from King of the Hill. Epic Games announced the partnership with 20th Television Animation on Friday, June 13, 2025, bringing these iconic characters to the Fortnite Item Shop just in time for the holiday weekend.
The collaboration introduces a range of themed skins and cosmetics, allowing players to embody the burger-flipping, propane-selling, and mail-delivering charm of these animated patriarchs. Each character comes with their own set of in-game items, available for purchase either individually or as part of a bundle. The promotion playfully asks players, “Maybe you’re a Bob – serving puns rarer than your burgers. Or a Hank? Passionate about propane and silently judging uneven lawns.” It’s a celebration of fatherhood wrapped in Fortnite’s signature pop-culture flair.
Bob Belcher, voiced by H. Jon Benjamin, anchors the Bob’s Burgers offerings with a 1,500 V-Bucks outfit. His accessories include Bob’s Spatula pickaxe (500 V-Bucks), the Flying Burger back bling (400 V-Bucks), and two emotes: Bob’s Happy Dance and Burger of the Day, each priced at 400 V-Bucks. These items capture Bob’s quirky charm, perfect for players ready to sling puns and patties in the battle royale.
Cleveland Brown, brought to life by Arif Zahir, represents Family Guy with a 1,500 V-Bucks outfit. His cosmetics include Cleveland’s Mailbag back bling (200 V-Bucks), a Mailbox pickaxe (800 V-Bucks), and the Mailman’s Stroll emote (400 V-Bucks). These items nod to Cleveland’s laid-back vibe, letting players deliver victory with a side of neighborly cheer.
Hank Hill, voiced by King of the Hill co-creator Mike Judge, headlines the priciest bundle at 3,500 V-Bucks. His outfit costs 1,500 V-Bucks individually, paired with the Sirloin’d Tongs pickaxe (800 V-Bucks), Strickland Propane Tank back bling (200 V-Bucks), Alley Hangout emote (500 V-Bucks), and Gas Gauge wrap (500 V-Bucks). Hank’s propane-powered presence is a fitting tribute to his no-nonsense, grill-loving persona.
This collaboration marks a strategic synergy, as Disney’s 20th Television Animation produces all three shows, and Disney holds a $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games. The Father’s Day promotion aligns with Fortnite’s tradition of blending pop culture with its ever-expanding universe, offering players a chance to squad up as these legendary dads starting June 13, 2025, at 8 PM ET.
Adding to the excitement, King of the Hill is gearing up for a revival on Hulu, set to premiere on August 4, 2025. The new season, executive produced by Mike Judge, Greg Daniels, and showrunner Saladin Patterson, will feature an aged-up cast, with Hank and Peggy Hill retired after years in Saudi Arabia and Bobby thriving as a 21-year-old chef in Dallas. Stars like Pamela Adlon, Kathy Najimy, and Toby Huss return, promising a fresh yet familiar take on the beloved series. This Fortnite crossover serves as a timely nod to the show’s enduring legacy ahead of its highly anticipated return.
