Fortnite has teased the arrival of Deadpool since the beginning of the second season for its second chapter. The character briefly appeared at the end of the season's teaser video, as I wrote for the Deseret News.

Fans celebrated when they saw a room within the game painted over with Deadpool, which included a lot of toilet paper, an Avengers logo and a Deadpool mask.

Now, it appears we're getting closer to his actual arrival.

When does Deadpool come to Fortnite?

According to Forbes, we might see Deadpool arrive on the Fortnite map as soon as April 7.

These challenges will give gamers a chance to unlock the Deadpool skin. Complete all the challenges and then you can play as Deadpool throughout Fortnite, according to Forbes. Sounds like the perfect way to spend your time during the coronavirus social distancing lockdown.
