Fortnite x Dune Collaboration: Skins, New Desert Biome, and More

Timothy and Zendaya will soon be making their way in Fortnite Season 8 as Epic Games plan on collaborating with the new movie Dune. The Fortnite x Dune collaboration will add several new cosmetics and items to the already existing lot.

This new information comes via Fortnite data miners and leakers who have been spot on with such news in the past. There are many things to unpack here, so here’s everything we currently know about the Fortnite and Dune collaboration in Season 8.

The Fortnite and Dune collaboration does not come as a surprise since Epic has partnered with almost every new and old franchise out there. Regardless, seeing new things never gets old, and the upcoming collaboration will surely put a smile on your face when it officially releases.

Fortnite boss Donald Mustard had been dropping hints via his tweets about the collaboration, only if we could decipher them earlier. If leaks and decrypted files are to be believed, there will be a total of nine cosmetic items making it’s way to the Fortnite item shop. And there will be two bundles on offer:

• Dune Bundle
• Dune Gear Bundle

The notable Fortnite leaker HYPEX has revealed some crucial details about the cosmetics coming with the collaboration. As per the leaker, with the Fortnite Dune Collaboration players will get the below-mentioned cosmetics in Season 8:

• Chani (Outfit)

The collaboration still has no release window as of writing this article. There is no mention of the bundle’s price, but going by the trends, expect the bundle to be anywhere between 1200 to 1800 V-Bucks. Epic might make an official announcement and reveal both the bundle and the prices.

Given that Dune is already out in cinemas, Timothy and Zendaya will soon be arriving in Season 8 as well. There are even rumors that Epic might add a brand new desert biome with the Fortnite and Dune collaboration. But that still remains to be seen. This season still has room for some new POIs and the desert biome fits the bill perfectly.

Leakers had previously hinted at a desert biome before the start of Season 8, but nothing has come to fruition as of now. Maybe this collaboration will change that for good.

Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
