Destiny 2 cosmetics come to Fortnite this evening after an announcement during the Destiny 2 Showcase from Bungie earlier today!

Today (August 23rd), Bungie’s Destiny 2 Showcase confirmed the rumor that Fortnite would soon feature skins from the popular video game franchise. This crossover came to fruition alongside Epic Games’ agreement with Bungie to bring the series to the Epic Games Store. 

However, for Fortnite fans, the juiciest detail arrived in the form of Destiny 2 outfits soon to release. Three characters from the expansive Destiny universe will be available to purcahse tonight at 8 PM EST. Here’s everything you need to know about the brand new Fortnite x Destiny 2 collaboration. 

Commander Zavala, Ikora Rey, and The Exo Stranger come to Fortnite this evening

The Titan Vanguard himself — Commander Zavala — is the first of three Destiny characters to join Fortnite. He’s been part of the series since the first Destiny game, so it’s a worthwhile addition. The same sentiment applies to Ikora Rey and The Exo Stranger, who first appeared in the original Destiny. 

All three Destiny characters come to Fortnite with recognizable cosmetic items from the Destiny universe. They each have a Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Glider. Furthermore, Epic Games added an Emote to complete the video game crossover. 

Here’s a look at the Fortnite x Destiny 2 items that will be available starting this evening at 8 PM EST:

In addition to the character outfits, Epic Games enlisted the Team PWR creative group to recreate a famous Destiny landscape. Those who input Island Code 0642-9767-7225 via Fortnite’s “Discover” menu will teleport to the Javelin-4 map. 

The name of the game is “Control” on this landscape. Players will separate into two teams; the first to reach 200 points claim victory. Also, this creative map allows players to select from three predetermined Destiny-themed loadouts. Overall, it’s a unique bonus to this crossover that fans might want to try.
