By the Power of Grayskull! Just hours after Travis Knight’s Masters of the Universe hit cinemas, the long-rumored Fortnite x Masters of the Universe collaboration has finally been revealed. The crossover has reportedly been in development for quite some time, and now it’s ready to arrive in-game.

Epic Games has officially confirmed that the Masters of the Universe bundle will arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on June 6. That’s right—Saturday night is officially He-Man night. Prepare to channel the Power of Grayskull as He-Man, Skeletor, and She-Ra make their Fortnite debut.

HE-MAN, SKELETOR, AND SHE-RA!
While Epic Games has officially confirmed the collaboration, the company has yet to reveal exactly what will be included in the bundle. As a result, fans will have to wait a little longer for a complete breakdown of the cosmetics, accessories, and potential extras coming with the crossover.
Based on what’s been shown so far, the collaboration appears to draw heavily from the classic Masters of the Universe animated series, opening the door for a wide range of iconic characters, emotes, pickaxes, and back blings inspired by Eternia. Stay tuned, as we’ll have full details on the bundle as soon as Epic Games unveils everything ahead of its release.
REVIEW
We were lucky enough to get an early look at the new film, and had a blast with Travis Knight’s blockbuster. In my FOUR STAR REVIEW, I said: “Travis Knight’s Masters of the Universe is an absolute riot. It’s a nostalgic trip to Eternia wrapped in a campy ’80s fever dream. Although the film doesn’t land on every level, Jared Leto’s superb take on Skeletor makes it a true blast! Daniel Pemberton’s score is initially superb, the color palette is utterly glorious, and the world-building is off the charts. In the end, the film is a true epic in every sense. It’s Flash Gordon meets He-Man, unleashed in an overly long yet extremely faithful adaptation of my childhood series, and that is the highest compliment I can pay.” Read my full review here.
RELEASE
These new skins are phenomenal and easily capture the essence of their big-screen counterparts. So, head to your nearest cinema and watch the awesome new movie, and then come home and unleash the Power of Grayskull in Fortnite. But who will you be playing as first? He-Man, She-Ra? Or will you be channeling your inner baddie as Skeletor? Let us know in the comments below.
