Epic Games rolled out the v41.20 update on July 16, bringing the Hot Bat Summer event to Fortnite. The new summer skins for Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are only available in modes rated T (13 and older) due to the nature of their visual content.

How the Age Restriction Works

The two outfits, High Tide Harley and Chlorophyll Ivy, can be selected in standard Battle Royale modes but are disabled in kid-friendly modes like Lego Fortnite. This is part of Epic Games' rating system, which determines where certain skins can appear based on their visuals; the system helps separate modes for different age groups within the game.

About the Event

Hot Bat Summer is a DC collaboration that brings Batman universe characters to Fortnite with beach-themed outfits. Batman and Catwoman are also joining the event with similar looks. There's also a new Mythical Batman Sprite introduced. High Tide Harley and Chlorophyll Ivy are available in the shop for 1,500 V-Bucks each until July 30.

Community Reaction

The new skins have sparked mixed reactions in the community due to their bolder visual style compared to previous DC and pop culture collaborations. Some players feel the game is moving away from its earlier family-friendly image. Another discussion started when players noticed that the Poison Ivy image shared in the shop preview looked different from the original promo image released a few days earlier, suggesting a last-minute change before launch. Epic Games has not made an official statement on this.
