Fortnite Brings Back Rare Superhero Skin After More Than a Year

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 back too, available individually or as a discounted bundle.

Epic Games' Fortnite continues its impressive string of crossovers, spanning pop culture, music, and even fashion brands like Nike and Air Jordan. This latest return highlights the enduring popularity of superhero cosmetics within the game. DC and Marvel heroes, often featuring multiple variants (like "The Batman Who Laughs"), are frequent additions.

The Wonder Woman skin's comeback, confirmed by HYPEX after a 444-day hiatus, offers players a chance to acquire the complete set for 2,400 V-Bucks (or the skin alone for 1,600 V-Bucks). This follows a December resurgence of other popular DC skins, including Starfire and Harley Quinn. Furthermore, the current Chapter 6 Season 1, with its Japanese theme, introduced unique variants like Ninja Batman and Karuta Harley Quinn.

This wave of DC character returns coincides with Fortnite's ongoing Japanese-themed season. This has already seen the temporary return of Dragon Ball skins, and a Godzilla skin is slated for later this month, with a potential Demon Slayer crossover in the future. The Wonder Woman skin's return provides another exciting opportunity for fans to add a classic female superhero to their collection.
