Epic Games is showing some love for the LGBTQIA+ community with Rainbow Royale, the exciting event that has now begun in Fortnite.
As well as giving players a number of free items and a bunch of Play Your Way quests to complete, the Rainbow Royale event also sees the introduction of a Dreamer outfit (based on the DC hero of the same name).
Epic has urged players to “jump on board the Rainbow Royale Battle Bus and join us as we celebrate love, understanding, acceptance, and all of the colours that make up the Fortnite community”. Keep on reading to learn more!
When is Rainbow Royale in Fortnite?
Rainbow Royale 2022 began in Fortnite on 31st August at 8pm ET for players in the US.
Here in the UK, this means the Rainbow Royale event kicked off at 1am on 1st September.

To get the Dreamer outfit, all you will need to do is buy it from the Fortnite Item Shop, although the exact date on which it arrives in the store has not been confirmed yet.
If your skills are potent enough, you could also try taking part in the Dreamer Cup on 6th September. Only open to players whose account is above level 50, this Zero Build Squads tournament will allow its winners to get the Dreamer skin early.
When the Dreamer outfit release date for the Fortnite Item Shop is confirmed, we’ll be sure to update this page. Hopefully, it won’t be long until you can start playing as Nia Nal aka Dreamer, who Supergirl fans will remember well.
