After over a year's absence, the highly anticipated Wonder Woman skin has returned to the Fortnite item shop! This isn't just the skin itself; the Athena's Battleaxe pickaxe and Golden Eagle Wings glider are also back, available individually or as a discounted bundle.
Epic Games' battle royale continues its tradition of exciting crossovers, consistently collaborating with diverse franchises from pop culture and beyond. Recent partnerships even extended to clothing brands like Nike and Air Jordan, showcasing Fortnite's broad appeal. The return of this fan-favorite superhero skin is a prime example of this trend.
Superhero skins are a mainstay in Fortnite, boasting a wide array of iconic characters from DC and Marvel. Marvel crossovers often coincide with film releases, sometimes even introducing new gameplay elements. Characters like Batman and Harley Quinn have seen multiple variations, such as "The Batman Who Laughs" and "Rebirth Harley Quinn," demonstrating the depth of these collaborations.
The Wonder Woman skin's comeback, confirmed by prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX after a 444-day hiatus (last seen in October 2023), is a significant event. The full bundle is priced at 2,400 V-Bucks, offering a discount on purchasing the skin (1,600 V-Bucks), pickaxe, and glider separately.
This Wonder Woman resurgence follows the December return of other popular DC skins, including Starfire and Harley Quinn. Furthermore, the Japanese-themed Chapter 6 Season 1 introduced variant skins like Ninja Batman and Karuta Harley Quinn.
Fortnite's current season, with its Japanese theme, continues to deliver exciting crossovers. Dragon Ball skins have made a temporary return, and a Godzilla skin is slated for release this month, with rumors of a Demon Slayer crossover in the future. The return of the Wonder Woman skin provides another opportunity for players to acquire cosmetics for this iconic female superhero.
