The latest skin coming to Fortnite is revealed to be none other than DC Comics’ Green Arrow. The comic book archer will arrive in the battle royale later this month, but there’s a catch.
Epic Games’ popular battle royale title looks to be continuing its trend of adding characters from various comic book properties to its roster. Just a few days ago, Epic released a trailer revealing Black Panther and more Marvel characters are coming to the game. Now, it seems DC is also getting back into the mix.
Detailed on Epic Games’ website, The Emerald Archer will be arriving in-game on December 31 at 4:00 p.m. PST. Compared to most of the other comic book-accurate skins, it appears Fortnite decided to go the live-action route. The skin is modeled after actor Stephen Amell from the popular Arrow TV series, which wrapped up its eighth and final season earlier this year. Green Arrow brought his supplies as well, including a Tactical Quiver Back Bling and a Boxing Glove Pickaxe. However, there is one stipulation for Fortnite fans to get the character – signing up for Fortnite Crew.
Fortnite Crew is a new subscription service from Epic that gives subscribers 1,000 V-Bucks every month, in addition to exclusive skins and access to the Battle Pass. The subscription costs players $11.99 a month, and their mileage may vary depending on the type of gamer. Green Arrow is the exclusive Crew pack for January 2021, its second overall. The subscription service launched just this month with an original, space-themed character named Galaxia. However, it looks like Fortnite is also releasing characters from other properties through this method as well.
It’s a good sign to see more characters from DC Comics enter the fray. The past season’s focus had been primarily on Marvel heroes and villains, so perhaps it’s DC’s time to shine. The last time a DC character was announced was with the Joker-themed cosmetic bundle back in August. Although the announcement of Oliver Queen is now official, there was a Green Arrow skin leak about a week ago. However, his exclusivity with Fortnite Crew will likely come as news to fans.
Chapter 2 Season 5 of Fortnite has brought quite a few changes to the battle royale. In addition to introducing a bunch of new mechanics, Epic continues to add characters from unexpected places. These include God of War’s Kratos, Halo‘s Master Chief, Daryl and Michonne from The Walking Dead, and now DC’s Green Arrow. It’s anybody’s guess who will get brought in next.
Fortnite is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
