A style revolution is coming to Fortnite, thanks to a Wu-Tang Clan collaboration including Wu Wear outfits, an iconic emote, and loading screen.
On April 23, Epic Games will unleash Wu-Tang Clan content in Fortnite that introduces a style revolution in the form of themed items, loading screen, and a Wu-Tang is Forever emote. Epic continues to roll out exciting brand crossovers pretty regularly, with a couple of Assassin's Creed heroes joining Fortnite in recent weeks. Leaks and rumors suggest the likes of Miles Morales' Spider-Man and Darth Vader could hit the Island next.
Of course, actual celebrities have also entered the Fortnite roster in the past. Professional soccer player Neymar Jr. joined Fortnite as the first playable athlete in April 2021. Ariana Grande, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Marshmello, and Travis Scott skins previously entered the mix as well, though Epic Games removed the latter following the Astroworld incident. It makes sense, then, that even more celebrities are on track to receive the Fortnite crossover treatment. And the next in line will undoubtedly please many a hip-hop fan.
On Friday, April 23 at 8:00 AM ET, Epic Games plans to launch Wu-Tang Clan Wu Wear items in Fortnite. The Fortnite Item Shop update will include new Back Blings, Outfits, Pickaxes, and more. Two Wu Wear Outfits are slated for the upcoming release, each boasting matching accessories and a No Cap Style for those who want to show off their hairdo. The Throwback BG Outfit (with red accents pictured below) comes with the WUWEAR Worldwide Back Bling and Neck Protector Pickaxe. Meanwhile, the B.R.I.T.E. Outfit (pictured with yellow accents below) boasts the Wu-Tang Represent Back Bling and Triumphant Tagger Pickaxe. Both Outfits feature the Ruckus Red alt Style. Fortnite fans will additionally have the option to pick up the Shimmy Surfer Glider, included with the Ruckus Red alt, Wu Wrap, and the Wu-Tang is Forever emote.

Notably, players can grab the new Fortnite Outfits separately or in the Wu Wear Bundle, the latter of which also nets users access to Wu-Tang Hands Emoticon and Wu-Tang Style Loading Screen (feature image). The Neck Protector Pickaxe, Shimmy Surfer Glider, Triumphant Tagger Pickaxe, Wu Wrap, and Wu-Tang is Forever Emote can also be purchased individually or in the Wu Wear Gear Bundle. Items such as the Wu Boom Box Spray and a Wu-Tang Clan Banner will feature in the Wu Wear Gear package, according to Epic.
This arguably counts as one of Fortnite's more interesting collaborations, especially since Wu-Tang just announced a NY State of Mind Tour co-headlined by Nas. While tickets for the North American tour go on sale this coming April 26, fans of the iconic rap group can begin proudly wearing their Wu-Tang-themed gear in Fornite this Friday.
