Fortnite continues its string of high-profile collaborations with a major crossover event featuring characters from the legendary Mortal Kombat franchise. On March 28, 2025, three iconic fighters - Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden - will join the battle royale’s ever-expanding roster of characters.
New Mortal Kombat Skins Coming to Fortnite
The Mortal Kombat crossover brings classic designs from Mortal Kombat 3, tapping into nostalgia for longtime fans while introducing these legendary characters to a new generation of players. Each fighter comes with their signature weapons and abilities translated into Fortnite’s gameplay style:
Scorpion
The undead ninja returns with his iconic spear and hellfire abilities. Scorpion’s outfit includes his yellow ninja garb and skull mask, complete with:
- Scorpion’s Flame Skull Back Bling
- Katana Duo Pickaxe
- “Toasty!” Emote - a nod to the classic Mortal Kombat easter egg
Kitana
The Edenian princess brings her deadly fan techniques to the Fortnite island. Her outfit features her classic blue ninja attire, along with:
- Steel Fans Pickaxe
- Fan Bear Back Bling
- “Fan-nado” Emote showcasing her wind manipulation powers
Raiden
The Thunder God descends on Fortnite, bringing the power of lightning with him. Raiden’s outfit includes his iconic conical hat and white robes, plus:
- Raiden’s Staff Pickaxe
- Amulet Back Bling
- “Guiding Mark” Emote channeling his electric abilities
How to Get the Mortal Kombat Skins in Fortnite
The Mortal Kombat characters will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop starting March 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET. Players have several options for purchasing:
- Individual character outfits: 1,500 V-Bucks each
- Complete “Klassic Kombat” Bundle: 3,300 V-Bucks (includes all 15 items)
The bundle offers significant savings compared to buying items separately, which would cost 9,100 V-Bucks in total. However, if you’re only interested in a single character, the individual outfit option may be more cost-effective.
Mortal Kombat’s Impact on Fortnite
This collaboration marks another milestone in Fortnite’s strategy of bringing beloved characters from various franchises into its game world. The addition of Mortal Kombat fighters follows other recent crossovers, including:
- Sub-Zero: Already available as part of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
- Star Wars characters: Rumored to arrive in May 2025
- Dragon Ball Daima: Leaked potential collaboration
These crossovers not only attract fans of the featured franchises but also create unique gameplay experiences as characters from vastly different universes interact within Fortnite’s framework.
What This Means for Fortnite Players
The arrival of Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden brings several benefits to Fortnite players:
- New cosmetic options: Players can now embody these iconic fighters while battling on the Fortnite island.
- Potential gameplay additions: While unconfirmed, there’s speculation about Mortal Kombat-themed weapons or abilities being added to the game.
- Limited-time events: Crossovers often come with special game modes or challenges, giving players new ways to engage with the game.
The Future of Fortnite Collaborations
As Fortnite continues to expand its multiverse of characters, players can likely expect more high-profile crossovers in the future. The game has become a platform for virtual events and pop culture moments, blurring the lines between different entertainment franchises.
With each new collaboration, Fortnite reinforces its position as more than just a battle royale game - it’s becoming a virtual space where characters and stories from across the media landscape converge.
The Mortal Kombat crossover event kicks off a new chapter in Fortnite’s ever-expanding universe. Whether you’re a longtime Mortal Kombat fan or simply looking for new ways to customize your Fortnite experience, this collaboration offers something exciting for players to look forward to when it launches on March 28.
