Dark Phoenix From X-Men Added To Fortnite

If you’ve ever lost in a round of Fortnite right at the end and feel the need to scream and implode into fire, good news: there’s a skin now available in Fortnite for you. 

It’s the Dark Phoenix skin, and X-Men fans will recognize her as the Phoenix seen throughout the Dark Phoenix Saga, a run of comics that ran in 1980. Dark Phoenix might be familiar from the 2019 X-Men film of the same title. Regardless, if you’re a fan of the more explosive variant of Jean Grey, this skin is for you. 

The skins and the accompanying products are available now in Fortnite’s Item Shop, as you can see from the above tweet. The outfit includes the Phoenix Force backbling and the Rising Phoenix Emote. You’ll also receive the Wrath of the Phoenix Loading Screen with the set as well, according to Epic Games. 

Dark Phoenix joins other skins recently added to Fortnite such as Jinx from League of Legends, which represents the first time a League of Legends character has appeared in a non-Riot franchise, and Naruto, although this was a collaboration tease and we’re still in the dark about what’s actually coming from the Shippuden series.
