Luxury carmaker Aston Martin and Epic Games have announced that the British high-performance brand’s first-ever mid-engine plug-in-hybrid supercar, Valhalla, will debut in the Fortnite video game and return to Rocket League. Gamers will be able to experience the car’s performance in the same unique livery as showcased by Fernando Alonso during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in 2025.
“Bringing Valhalla into the Fortnite ecosystem is an exciting step for Aston Martin,” says Stefano Saporetti, director of brand diversification at Aston Martin. “Epic Games has revolutionized the way brands can authentically connect with younger audiences, and this collaboration puts the next generation directly in the driver’s seat. The Aston Martin Valhalla represents exceptional engineering and design, and Fortnite players will now be able to experience, virtually, the thrilling performance of our first-ever hybrid supercar.”
Epic Games, a global leader in interactive entertainment, is best known for developing the Unreal Engine real-time 3D creation tool, alongside Fortnite and Rocket League, two of the world’s most celebrated gaming experiences.
The Valhalla will be featured in Fortnite and Rocket League as part of a collaboration that pushes the boundaries of engineering excellence on the road and track, paired with Epic’s creative flair, according to officials. Valhalla will be featured in this year’s winter celebrations, extending across Fortnite’s Winterfest and Rocket League’s Frosty Fest activations.
Players could unlock and drive the Valhalla beginning Dec. 18, with exclusive customization options available while the vehicle is in the virtual “shop.” At launch, players can purchase the Valhalla bundle, which is accessible across both Fortnite and Rocket League titles with cross-game ownership.
