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 made a triumphant return 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' Fortnite continues its tradition of exciting crossovers, regularly collaborating with diverse franchises. Recent partnerships have even extended to clothing brands like Nike and Air Jordan. This latest return of a fan-favorite superhero skin underscores the game's commitment to providing fresh and engaging content.

Superhero skins are a core component of Fortnite's cosmetic offerings, featuring iconic characters from both DC and Marvel universes. These collaborations often coincide with major movie releases, sometimes even integrating new gameplay elements and weapons. Characters like Batman and Harley Quinn have boasted multiple variations, including unique interpretations like "The Batman Who Laughs" and "Rebirth Harley Quinn." Wonder Woman's comeback after 444 days (last seen in October 2023, confirmed by HYPEX) is a significant event for Fortnite fans.

The Wonder Woman skin's reappearance follows a wave of other popular DC skins returning to the game in December, including Starfire and Harley Quinn. The arrival of Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1, with its Japanese theme, also introduced new variant skins for Batman (Ninja Batman) and Harley Quinn (Karuta Harley Quinn).

This influx of returning DC characters coincides with an exciting period for Fortnite's competitive season. The Japanese theme has sparked further crossovers, including a temporary return of Dragon Ball skins. A Godzilla skin is slated for release later this month, and rumors point towards an upcoming Demon Slayer crossover. This latest return of Wonder Woman gives players another chance to obtain cosmetics for this iconic female superhero. The Wonder Woman skin is priced at 1,600 V-Bucks, with the complete bundle offered at a reduced 2,400 V-Bucks.
