According to leaks from Hypex, the skins for South Park are also expected to come with a mech, just like Bart or Morty. This is likely due to their size and the necessary hitbox for Fortnite.

Good morning and welcome to our live ticker for the live event and the upcoming server downtime of Chapter 7. We are here for you all day, providing all important information about the upcoming content. So please stay tuned if you don’t want to miss anything.
When does Chapter 7 start? In the latest blog post from Fortnite it is revealed that Chapter 7 Season 1 will start on November 29 – right after the live event. Of course, you still have to expect some downtime, but this will likely only last a few hours, so you can get a taste of the new chapter later that night.
Live event to end Chapter 6 will be gigantic
When does the live event start? The live event “Zero Hour” begins on November 29 at 8:00 PM German time. Entry is allowed 40 minutes before the start. It is advisable to log in a few hours before the start to avoid getting into a queue and missing the event.
What will happen in the live event? Different beings from other realities will collide to fight against the ultimate villain threatening all realities. The key art of the event shows the Power Rangers, Godzilla, and even King Kong. It is already apparent that this will be a massive live event.
Is there a reward for participation? Not directly. You can earn a free skin, but it has nothing to do with the live event. Instead, you must log in at least once between November 27 at 3:00 PM and December 1 at 3:00 PM to receive the outfit “Yuki Yubari” – a skin from Kill Bill.
Chapter 7: Leaks show return of familiar faces
What leaks are known? According to various leakers, Chapter 7 will bring back a familiar group known for saving reality: The Seven. According to HYPEX, a well-known leaker in the scene, a new banner of The Seven has been added to the data, and since Chapter 7 also includes the number of the faction, a return might not be far-fetched.
Content creator Nanxss was able to play Chapter 7 with other chosen ones before anyone else. According to him, Epic Games has placed great importance on the new story (via x.com). This story is light-years ahead of the Fortnite storyline compared to Chapters 1 and 2.
