The newest collaboration.

To coincide with the release of the new Shang-Chi movie, Fortnite and Marvel have collaborated once again to bring Shang-Chi to the game as a new skin, but it’s his comic book version.

It’s a bit of an odd choice, especially when the movie version is the thing being promoted, but based on Season 4 when a whole season was dedicated to the comic book universe, the Marvel comic book universe is the one Fortnite and Epic are most interested in working with.

Here’s everything you ought to know about Shang-Chi in Fortnite.

 

Fortnite Shang-Chi Skin Styles & Cosmetics

There will just be one style for Shang-Chi in Fortnite, and it will be his comic book style, which seems odd.

Here’s a little compilation of Shang-Chi in action.

It looks like you will also be able to buy a Shang-Chi Back Bling, wrap and a pickaxe as part of a bundle; here are the names of those.

– Back Bling: Great Protector’s Shield
– Pickaxe: Blades of Brother Hand
– Wrap: Dragon’s Scale

It doesn’t appear as if Shang-Chi will be getting their own emote, though.

 

Fortnite Shang-Chi Skin Price

The Shang-Chi skin will cost 1500 V-Bucks (around £13/$16 if you buy the 1000 V-Bucks option twice or have no V-Bucks already in your balance) when it lands in the Item Shop as it’s Epic rarity.

The Shang-Chi bundle will also cost 2800 V-Bucks based on the prices of other collaboration bundles (like J Balvin) in Fortnite, and will come with every single Shang-Chi cosmetic.

It doesn’t look like there will be a skin cup like other recent skins for Shang-Chi.

 

Fortnite Shang-Chi Skin Release Date

Shang-Chi will be available to buy in Fortnite for the first time from September 2nd, 2021 at 8 PM ET when the Item Shop refreshes.

Based on all of the other crossover skins, Shang-Chi will remain available for purchase for at least a week. He will almost certainly return, maybe when Shang-Chi hits home cinema, so really don’t rush to buy him.

Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
