Fortnite Brings Back Rare Superhero Skin After More Than a Year

After over a year's absence, the highly sought-after Wonder Woman skin has triumphantly returned to the Fortnite item shop. This isn't just the skin; the Athena's Battleaxe pickaxe and Golden Eagle Wings glider have also made a comeback, available individually or as a discounted bundle.

Epic Games' Fortnite consistently features exciting crossovers, collaborating with diverse franchises across pop culture and beyond. Recent examples include collaborations with clothing brands like Nike and Air Jordan, showcasing the game's broad appeal. The return of Wonder Woman, a fan-favorite superhero, further exemplifies this trend.

Superhero skins are a key component of Fortnite's cosmetic offerings, with a wide array of DC and Marvel characters already gracing the game. These collaborations often coincide with new movie releases, sometimes even integrating new gameplay elements. Characters like Batman and Harley Quinn have seen multiple variant skins, reflecting different interpretations from the comics. Wonder Woman's return, confirmed by prominent community member HYPEX after a 444-day hiatus, is a significant event for fans.

The Wonder Woman skin is priced at 1,600 V-Bucks, with the complete bundle offering a reduced price of 2,400 V-Bucks. This follows the December return of several other popular DC skins, including Starfire and Harley Quinn. The current Chapter 6 Season 1, with its Japanese theme, also introduced unique variant skins like Ninja Batman and Karuta Harley Quinn.

The resurgence of DC skins in Fortnite coincides with an exciting new competitive season. This season's Japanese theme has already brought back Dragon Ball skins for a limited time, and a Godzilla skin is slated for release later this month. Rumors of a Demon Slayer crossover further add to the anticipation. The return of Wonder Woman provides another opportunity for players to acquire cosmetics for this iconic female superhero.
