Never short of ideas to surprise its community, Epic Games is preparing to deploy a very ambitious cosmetic collaboration on Fortnite with the Hip-hop group Wu-tang Clan . The outfits bearing the image of the rapper collective will arrive in stores on April 24 at 2 a.m.
Skins, but not only
The partnership is centered on several skins, which players can find individually or via a bundle. But fans will also be able to purchase various third-party cosmetic items:
- Shimmy Disc Glider: Use with great care (comes with Red Ruckus alternate style).
- Wuclothing coating: inimitable.
- Emote Wu-Tang Forever: Raise your hands.
- Wu-Tang back accessory represents
- Triumphant Tagger Pickaxe
- Aerosol Boombox Wu
- Wu-Tang Clan banner.
A cult US band
Formed in 1992, Wu-tang Clan quickly established themselves as a founding hip-hop group. The music press considered it in the early 2000s as the "best rap group in history". We owe them in particular key pieces like "Method Man", "CREAM" or even "Protect Ya Neck".
No concert, no tournament!
Only downside to this crossover; it will apparently not be accompanied by a concert or a competition.
Usually, Epic Games embellishes such collaborations with a “friendly” tournament, without cashprize, but with skins to win in preview. That won't be the case here, and the Wu-tang Clan shouldn't occur from the Party Royale mode boards either!
