While the DC Extended Universe line of movies has had its share of hits and misses, the movie franchise lately has had plenty of successes thanks to hits likeAquaman,Shazam!, and though it’s not officially part of the DCEU, the Academy Award-nominatedJoker. The latest in DC’s run of movies isBirds of Prey(otherwise known by its full title,Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) which lands in theaters, and while Harley Quinn is taking out her furious vengeance at the movies, she is also making some time to bring anarchy toFortnite.
Afterseveral weeks of teasing and hints, Epic Games officially pulled back the curtain on its latest event, which is a collaboration withBirds of Preyto celebrate the movie’s release in theaters this weekend. Specifically, the event itself brings several new skins into the game modeled after Harley Quinn herself. TheFortniteItem Shop now features the Harley Quinn bundle, which includes the Harley Quinn outfit (as she appears in 2016’sSuicide Squad), the Harley Hitter, and the Punchline Pickaxes. Players will also be able to complete challenges to earn the Always Fantabulous Harley skin, which is modeled after her appearance inBirds of Prey. Both skins will be available to earn or purchase from now through July 21, 2025, giving a two week window to live out your Harley Quinn-themed dreams.
Fortniteof course has been no stranger to timed promotional events, specifically ones themed around major upcoming movie releases. After kicking things off with the Thanos event forAvengers: Infinity Warnearly two years ago,Fortnitehas crossed over with everything fromJohn Wick, toStranger Things, and most recently toStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerthis past holiday season. Granted, it would make sense that the game would feature a promotional event with the release ofBirds of Prey, and it looks like a fantabulous one at that.
Fortniteis available now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android - basically just about everything. Meanwhile,Birds of Preyhits theaters this weekend.
