Shang-Chi skin in Fortnite: Release date, how to redeem, and other details

The original Marvel x Fortnite crossover was a massive success in the battle royale game. Since then, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has entered a new phase of heroes including the likes of Shang Chi, Eternals, Blade, and many others. Fortunately, Epic Games is planning to bring them over to Fortnite so that fans can play as these heroes.

The first of these skins arriving in Fortnite is Shang-Chi. The Asian superhero is going to be played by Simu Liu in the Marvel movie releasing on September 2. There are rumors that along with the official release, a Shang-Chi bundle will also be available in Fortnite.

There are no official updates on the collaboration, however, a Fortnite leaker mentioned the arrival of a Shang-Chi Fortnite skin on the official subreddit. This was also shared by HYPEX, another popular Fortnite leaker, which certainly gives some credability to the leaks.
