Fortnite: When does the Thanos skin come out in the item shop?

A few days ago, Fortnite announced the official Thanos Cup. Winners would take home the Thanos skin alongside other cosmetics.

While few players managed to win, many of those who competed were left high and dry. Nonetheless, the Mad Titan is finally on his way to Fortnite's item shop.

First introduced to the game during an LTM three years ago, the Thanos skin debuted on the battlefield. While players never got to keep the cosmetics per se, they did witness his battle prowess firsthand.

Thanos Watches! Spray

More than likely, they will either be sold as a bundle or could be purchased separately. Given that the Thanos skin is part of a collaboration, the cost of the cosmetic may be a bit on the high side.

Going by rough estimates, it should cost somewhere between 1,500 V-Bucks and perhaps 1,800 V-Bucks at most. However, before deciding on buying, players can have a first-hand look at the skin in the tweet below.
