New Fortnite Switch Bundle Coming In October

Fortnite High Stakes

Epic Games and Nintendo have today revealed a new Switch console bundle that will launch in October and set players back $299.

Fortnite itself (at least its BR version, which is the only one you will find on Switch) is a free-to-play game, but the bundle comes with a couple of cosmetics as well as V-Bucks to well and truly fritter away on whatever tat is in the item shop.

The bundle also comes with what is likely going to be a Switch exclusive skin, though it is basically just a slightly retooled vision of a pre-existing skin.

Here is its packshot, followed by the description:

The included V-Bucks can be used to purchase a Battle Pass, which unlocks additional in-game content for the free-to-play game, or can be used to purchase other in-game items.”

The Fortnite – Double Helix Bundle bundle drops on October 5th, 2018. Retailers will be announced soon; keep watching the official page for updates.
