2025-04-21 22:47:33

Fortnite enthusiasts have an exciting opportunity to add the White Widow skin to their collection for free by participating in the Thunderbolts Cup on April 25. Additionally, all Thunderbolts-themed cosmetics will be available for purchase in the Item Shop starting April 30. As Chapter 6 Season 2 draws to a close, players are eagerly anticipating the next season, Galactic Battle, which promises a major Star Wars crossover.

The recent Star Wars Celebration Japan event unveiled that Fortnite's next season, Galactic Battle, will be heavily themed around the iconic franchise. Players can look forward to encountering legendary characters such as Emperor Palpatine, Darth Jar Jar, and Mace Windu. The season will also introduce new vehicles like the X-Wing and Tie Fighter, revolutionizing gameplay with aerial combat options.

Epic Games has announced that the White Widow outfit will be awarded to top performers in the Thunderbolts Cup, a duos-only competition. Participants can earn points through match victories, eliminations, and high rankings. The highest scorers in each region will receive the White Widow skin, while those accumulating 40 points will get the White Widow Wrap. Even players with just 8 points will be rewarded with the Winter Soldier Wrap.

For those unable to participate in the cup, the Thunderbolts cosmetics, including the Winter Soldier skin, will be available in the Item Shop on April 30. The shop will also feature matching emotes, back blings, pickaxes, and wraps. While Epic Games has confirmed the release, pricing details remain undisclosed.

Recent collaborations, such as the Adventure Time crossover, faced criticism due to high prices and lack of bundle options. Players are hopeful that future collaborations will offer more affordable and inclusive bundles. With the Thunderbolts Cup and the Galactic Battle season on the horizon, the Fortnite community is optimistic about what's next.
