Fortnite Is Getting A Ninja Skin

Epic Games has announced that it will be adding a Ninja skin into the battle royale game Fortnite. No, not one of those cool black-clad assassins from Japan, this is the famous streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins himself we’re talking about.

Ninja himself revealed the news in a stream earlier today, screaming like a giddy schoolgirl:

“It happened.

It’s official, we finally got a Ninja skin.

In the game.

In Fortnite.

We did it.”

We’re bringing the artistic vision, personality and attitude of our top creators to Fortnite with the Icon series, starting with @Ninja!

This is just the beginning of gaming, music, film, and fashion colliding in Fortnite.

The Fortnite Ninja skin will be available from 16 to 19 January 2020, consisting of the Ninja Outfit, Ninja’s Edge Back Bling, Ninja Style Emote and Dual Katanas Pickaxe. It has to be purchased, but no price has been revealed at the time of writing.

The developer also said that the Fortnite Ninja skin would only be the first of many collaborations bringing real-world personalities into the game. Loserfruit and TheGrefg will join in the future, with more creators from “games, music and entertainment” planned as well as part of the new ‘Icon Series’.
