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 have also reappeared, offering players a complete Wonder Woman ensemble.
Epic Games' battle royale continues its tradition of exciting crossovers, consistently collaborating with diverse franchises spanning pop culture, music, and even fashion brands like Nike and Air Jordan. This latest return highlights the enduring popularity of superhero skins within the Fortnite community.
DC heroes have been a significant part of Fortnite's cosmetic offerings, featuring various iterations of iconic characters such as Batman and Harley Quinn, including unique variants like "The Batman Who Laughs" and "Rebirth Harley Quinn." Wonder Woman's comeback, confirmed by prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX after a 444-day hiatus (last seen in October 2023), is a welcome addition for fans. The skin is available for 1,600 V-Bucks, with a discounted bundle including the pickaxe and glider for 2,400 V-Bucks.
This Wonder Woman resurgence follows a wave of returning DC skins in December, including popular characters like Starfire and Harley Quinn. The ongoing Chapter 6 Season 1, with its Japanese theme, also introduced new, Japan-inspired Batman and Harley Quinn skins.
The return of these DC characters coincides with an exciting period for Fortnite's competitive season. The game's Japanese theme has spurred collaborations with Japanese media, temporarily bringing back Dragon Ball skins. A Godzilla skin is also slated for release this month, with rumors of a Demon Slayer crossover on the horizon. The reappearance of Wonder Woman gives players another opportunity to acquire cosmetics for this legendary female superhero.
