Overview
- Epic disabled the Peacemaker Season 2 'Peaceful Hips' emote on Sept. 28 while it investigates the collaboration’s creative intentions, according to the official Fortnite Status account.
- Epic said it will issue refunds in the coming days if the emote does not return to the game.
- The emote, based on the show’s Season 2 opening dance performed by John Cena, entered the Item Shop in mid-September and was pulled less than two weeks later.
- James Gunn and Warner Bros./DC had not commented at the time of reporting, and outlets noted late-season secrecy limited what licensees knew in advance.
- Peacemaker cosmetics launched as a broader set; the Item Shop listing was removed and owners can still use other items, highlighting ongoing questions about vetting and platform moderation for licensed content.
