After 1,032 days, Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom has returned to the Fortnite item shop to celebrate the release of Venom: The Last Dance!
Great news for Venom fans! Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock/Venom skin has made its long-awaited return to the item shop. Just as the Fortnite x Marvel ABSOLUTE DOOM Battle Pass approaches its final stages and the map undergoes exciting changes with fresh Fortnitemares points of interest, Epic Games has finally ended the 1,032 days of anticipation and made this iconic character available for purchase again. With She-Venom and Agony, hailing from VENOM: THE LAST DANCE (check out our review), debuting just twenty-four hours earlier, fans were eager for Brock to make his comeback. And now, the wait is finally over!
The character has returned to the shop, bringing along most of its accessories. However, fans eager to snag the character’s custom Glider and Contrail must manage their expectations. Unfortunately, neither of those items has returned just yet, leaving completionists still waiting to finalize their collections. On a brighter note, the character’s TENDRILS OF VENOM back bling, SYMBIOTE SCYTHE pickaxe, and VENOM UNLEASHED emote are all back in stock, adding excitement to the set.
WE ARE VENOM!
Considering the included accessories, this set is indeed a deluxe collection, and its price reflects that level of quality. However, Fortnite has tied the Eddie Brock/Venom bundle to the classic Venom skin from Marvel Comics. This means that those fortunate enough to own the classic comic skin can grab Eddie Brock for a discounted rate of just 800 V-Bucks. Quite a steal, right? Fortnite has also made the character available as a standalone purchase for newcomers to the Venom craze, giving players the flexibility to buy either skin. Read on for the full details.
- THE VENOM Bundle (With Both Venom Skins and Accessories) – 2,800 V-Bucks
- VENOM Skin (With TENDRIL TOTE Back Bling, SYMBIOTE SLASHER Pickaxe, and WE ARE VENOM Built-in Emote) – 2,000 V-Bucks
- EDDIE BROCK Skin (With TENDRILS OF VENOM Back Bling, SYMBIOTE SCYTHE Pickaxe, and VENOM UNLEASHED Built-in Emote) – 2,000 V-Bucks
RELEASE
Thankfully, Eddie Brock’s surprise return to the item shop is just the latest in a long line of fantastic collaborations released in recent months. In addition to new variants of Wolverine and Deadpool, Disney announced a treasure trove of new characters at this year’s D23 Expo. The first wave has already hit, with The Incredibles and the Disney Villains now available in the item shop. Most recently, Spider-Woman has joined our hero roster, and even more new characters will debut soon.
The new She-Venom and Agony collaboration had raised fan hopes that Eddie Brock would return after its long hiatus, and now those dreams have been fulfilled. Players can only wait and hope Epic Games will soon add the character’s custom Glider and Contrail, allowing us to complete the set fully. After all, the timing couldn’t be more perfect, especially with the film hitting theaters this week.
The future looks promising for a productive partnership between Epic Games, Sony, Disney, and its partners, and long may it continue. But who will join the new Symbiotes on the map next? Will more Spider-Man adversaries arrive to stir up trouble? Will additional X-Men come to unleash their mutant power? Are more Star Wars characters incoming? Or will more characters from the Disney Vault arrive from the Magic Kingdom? All will be revealed in the coming weeks…
The Eddie Brock, She-Venom, and Agony skins are up for grabs in the item shop until October 31st. Grab them while you can.
