Epic Games has unveiled the new Cowabunga event in Fortnite, bringing back the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and introducing fresh content, including a reward pass, cosmetics, and skins for popular characters like Shredder and Splinter. The game's collaboration with numerous franchises and IPs such as Marvel, DC, anime, and video games like Master Chief and Kratos has solidified its position as a popular online shooter. This ongoing success is further demonstrated by its recent partnership with Disney.
Several months ago, Epic Games announced a crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, welcoming the four brothers and April O'Neil into Fortnite's in-game shop at the start of Chapter 5, season 1. Additionally, players could acquire sprays, emotes, back blings, and an array of other cosmetics to personalize their gaming experience. At that time, the skins were purchasable using V-Bucks, either individually or as a bundle, marking the beginning of TMNT's presence in the game. Following the introduction of Splinter earlier this year, Fortnite's latest TMNT crossover event has arrived, providing new opportunities to obtain gear.
In a recent blog post, Epic Games detailed the Cowabunga event, commencing on February 9 and extending throughout the month until the 27th. During this period, players can undertake Cowabunga Quests to earn ooze, a currency utilized to unlock limited-time Battle Pass reward tiers. Players can monitor their progress and identify pending quests in the Cowabunga tab within the lobby. These quests typically involve activities such as navigating through sewers or purchasing one of the Turtles' weapons from a vending machine. Additionally, a premium rewards track is available for 1,000 V-Bucks, featuring the highly anticipated Shredder skin. New quests will be introduced every three days, with the initial set currently accessible.
Fortnite x TMNT Rewards and Skins
For numerous Fortnite enthusiasts, the highlight of the latest crossover event is the long-anticipated Shredder cosmetic skin, obtainable by purchasing the premium reward track, which also unlocks the LEGO minifig. The crossover also reintroduces the four Turtles and April O'Neil skins into the Fortnite shop. Here are all the rewards and methods to unlock them:
- Super Shredder - Attain the end of the Premium Cowabunga Reward Track
- Krang Back Bling - Complete a minimum of 5 quests in all six Cowabunga Quest Groups
- Splinter Skin - Available for purchase from the Fortnite Shop
- Turtle Blimp Glider, Kuro Kabuto Bass, OOZE Wrap, TMNT Pizza Back Bling - Free Cowabunga Reward Track
With the latest collaboration now live, fans are eagerly anticipating the game's future. While the recent partnership between Epic Games and Disney holds significant promise for upcoming events, a recent rumor suggests that Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers could potentially join Fortnite. According to XboxEra, Epic Games may introduce the original Power Rangers team as playable characters, likely as purchasable skins in the shop.
