Solid Snake’s Debut: A Seasonal Bonus
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has already seen notable additions, including the introduction of weapon attachments and the unexpected appearance of Peter Griffin from Family Guy as a miniboss. Now, the renowned Solid Snake is poised to enter the Fortnite universe, offering fans a new and exciting dimension to the gameplay. As with most bonus skins, he will not be immediately available at the start of the season but will unlock partway through.
Release Date: Mark Your Calendars
Epic Games has officially announced that Solid Snake will grace Fortnite on January 23, 2024. This release date is prominently displayed on the main battle pass screen, accompanied by a countdown timer in the top-left corner. While the exact timing of the release is yet to be disclosed, players can eagerly anticipate his arrival, which is just around the corner.
Sneak Peek at Solid Snake Items
To build anticipation, Epic Games has greyed out the items associated with Solid Snake in-game, leaving players curious about what awaits them. However, a visit to the Solid Snake screen on the Fortnite launcher provides a sneak peek at the upcoming items, even though they are currently represented as question marks. Fortunately, the Fortnite website unveils the mystery, showcasing an array of intriguing items that he brings to the game.
Solid Snake Items Include:
