[QUOTE="Admin, post: 70443, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/03/09/fortnite-chapter-7-season-2-showdown-teaser-trailer-00-00-12-1773064066883.png[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/fortnite']Fortnite[/URL] has confirmed that The Foundation, its heroic character voiced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, will return next season - and begun an Avengers: Doomsday-style countdown for his reappearance. A cinematic teaser trailer released today shows The Foundation currently frozen in ice, captured by The Ice King (another important character in Fortnite lore). Still, players expect they'll be able to break out The Rock's character in the battle royale mode's next season, which begins in shortly over a week's time.

"The Foundation and The Ice King will return in Fortnite: Showdown," the teaser states, before the words shift into a date (March 19, 2026) and then a countdown clock revealing the weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds left to go until the update drops. The teaser itself reveals a new in-game location, which looks to be a fresh and more detailed version of The Ice King's classic Polar Peak fortress. Previous in-game imagery had teased this wintry palace, and suggested it was home to one of the game's current Zero Point shard macguffins. The suggestion here is that this new Ice King is working with Fortnite's current baddie, The Dark Voyager, to reunite the Zero Point's broken shards for nefarious means.

How he'll escape remains to be seen, though one things for certain: with newly-tweaked designs for The Foundation and The Ice King on show here, fans will have several must-have new skins to obtain next season.
