A Marvelous Addition to Fortnite
Fortnite enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement as leaks reveal the imminent arrival of three Guardians of the Galaxy skins: Drax, Groot, and Mantis. Although an official release date for these highly anticipated skins has not been announced, players can expect their addition soon.
Leaks and Revelations
The crossover was initially hinted at through a LEGO Fortnite update, where fans noticed LEGO versions of Drax and Groot in the patch’s key art. This substantial update not only introduced three vehicle builds for LEGO fans but also added new tools and additional LEGO versions of Fortnite skins. While Marvel fans initially got a brief glimpse of the two characters, recent leaks have provided more detailed information about the forthcoming Guardians skins.
Detailed Look at the Skins
Renowned Fortnite leaker Hypex shared images showcasing the regular Fortnite iterations of the three Guardians skins, complete with their back blings and harvesting tools. The Drax and Mantis skins accurately portray the characters in their iconic attire, while the Young Adult Groot skin depicts him in his robust, athletic form. Mantis’ skin features subtle reactivity, with her antennas intermittently flickering with light. Each Guardian skin also comes with thematic cosmetics, including back blings and pickaxes tailored to their characters.
New Emotes and Bundles
Fans can also look forward to two new emotes: the Potted Groot Dance and Zargnut Invisibility. Leaks suggest that these items will be available for purchase as part of a bundle with regular currency rather than V-Bucks. This isn’t the first time Fortnite has featured a Groot skin, which was previously unlockable through a battle pass.

Strategic Partnership with Disney
In February, Disney and Epic Games announced a strategic partnership to further integrate Fortnite with popular Disney franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This collaboration, marked by Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, hints at exciting prospects for fans. This includes potential development of new games and entertainment experiences accessible via the Fortnite launcher, similar to LEGO Fortnite or Rocket Racing.
