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 also back, available individually or as a discounted bundle.

Epic Games' battle royale continues its impressive string of crossovers, spanning pop culture, music, and even fashion brands like Nike and Air Jordan. This latest return underscores the enduring popularity of superhero skins within the Fortnite community. DC and Marvel heroes have frequently graced the game, often tied to movie releases and featuring alternate versions, such as "The Batman Who Laughs."

The Wonder Woman skin's comeback, confirmed by prominent leaker HYPEX after a 444-day hiatus, offers fans a chance to snag the complete cosmetic 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, and the introduction of Japanese-themed variants of Batman and Harley Quinn during Chapter 6 Season 1.

This wave of DC character returns coincides with Fortnite's exciting new competitive season. The current Japanese theme has already brought back Dragon Ball skins, and a Godzilla skin is slated for release later this month, with a Demon Slayer crossover potentially on the horizon. The return of Wonder Woman provides yet another opportunity for players to add a powerful female superhero to their collection.
