Shang-Chi comes to Fortnite – here’s how to unlock the latest Marvel skin

MARVEL’S Shang-Chi is out today and of course, there’s already a Fortnite collaboration.

Players can get the Shang-Chi skin in-game right now, but it resembles star of the movie, Simu Liu about as much as the Free Guy Fortnite skin looks like Ryan Reynolds.

The Fortnite Shang-Chi skin is closer to the comic book character than the movie version.

He’s sporting the red robe and gloves, gauntlets, armband, and green sash and bottoms, which is pretty much spot on for the comic iteration.

The good news is that you can just buy the Shang-Chi skin outright without the rigmarole of completing challenges.

But if you’re low on V-Bucks, I guess that’s the bad news as well!

Epic Games announced the new skin in a blog post, detailing the Shang-Chi bundle which includes the following items:

  • Shang-Chi Outfit
  • Great Protector’s Shield Back Bling
  • Blades of the Brother Hand Pickaxes
  • Dragon’s Scale Wrap

If you want to pick up all of the items, you can drop 1,800 V-Bucks to bag yourself the bundle.

If you’d rather just have the skin and aren’t too fussed about the rest of the bells and whistles, it’ll be 1,500 V-Bucks.

The Marvel Shang-Chi skin rolled out as part of Fortnite update v17.50 which is the last of Season 7.

Fortnite Season 8 is set to kick off in a couple of weeks, with more collaborations undoubtedly on the way.

It’ll be something to do in the lull before the Call of Duty: Vanguard beta kicks off next week.

In the meantime, Vanguard alpha players aren’t too happy about the apparent scrapping of this fan favourite Call of Duty feature.
