Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson also appears in the game, though not as his WWE persona. He is featured as The Foundation, a central character in the ongoing Fortnite storyline who returned as part of Chapter 7 Season 2's battle pass.
A Packed Week for WWE Gaming
The Fortnite drop caps a busy stretch for WWE video game crossovers. WWE 2K26 launched its Ringside Pass Season 2 on April 15, adding Kelly Kelly, Ax, Crush, and Smash as playable superstars.
Austin has been a recurring presence in the wrestling gaming space this year, with his appearance in WWE 2K26 now joined by his Fortnite debut. Beyond the virtual world, Austin is scheduled to be backstage at WrestleMania 42, according to reports, with meet and greet appearances lined up at WWE World across the weekend.
WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
