An earlier transmission from Agent Jonesy hinted of a NInja Master arriving through the Zero Point in Fortnite and now Epic Games has confirmed that Snake Eyes is, indeed, the newest hunter to join the battle royale fray. The beloved Ninja Master from the hit G.I. Joe brand is now available from the Shop in Fortnite.
Snake Eyes joins a line of impressive heroes and hunters in Fortnite's latest season, which already includes the likes of Din Djarin and Grogu (aka The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda), Master Chief from Halo, Kratos from God of War, Sarah Connor and the T-800 from Terminator, and the Predator.
Fans of the Ninja Master can purchase the Arashikage Clan set from the Item shop. It includes the Snake Eyes Outfit as well as the Katana Pickaxe and Back Bling.
Epic Games has also partnered with Hasbro to create a new Snake Eyes action figure based on the character's in-game Fortnite design. The Fortnite G.I. Joe Collab Snake Eyes: Zero Point Edition is only available for a limited time for $39.99.
The 6-inch figure comes with over 20 points of articulation, 1 alt hand and 10 weapon accessories, including the "Harpoon Launcher, Boogie Bomb, Grenade, Clinger, Chiller Grenade, as well as the Submachine weapon and Mythic Shockwave Launcher accessories featuring the Weathered Black Wrap deco as seen in-game." Snake Eyes' signature katana, Morning Light, and sheath accessories, which are inspired by the G.I. Joe universe, are also included.
Snake Eyes is a total mystery, but when it comes to G.I. Joe operations, he’s the best there is. Now the mysterious ninja-commando drops off the Battle Bus and joins the Battle Royale in a Fortnite x G.I. Joe mash-up! This special release Snake Eyes: Zero Point Edition figure is highly poseable with multiple points of articulation and comes with iconic weapon accessories inspired by those used by the classic character and seen in the Fortnite Universe. Perfect for G.I. Joe and Fortnite collectors alike, this figure features premium deco and detail inspired by the worlds of G.I. Joe and Fortnite.
The Fortnite G.I. Joe Collab Snake Eyes: Zero Point Edition is available for pre-order now but unfortunately won't ship until approximately January 15, 2022. Fortnite will be well into another themed season by then, but Snake Eyes should remain a hot character well into next year as his standalone movie is slated to hit theaters on October 22, 2021.
