Hey, Daily Quest readers.
Imagine logging into Fortnite's Item Shop and doing a double-take—Luna Snow and Magik staring back at you, looking exactly like their Marvel Rivals selves. No hype trailer, no announcement. Just a stealth drop that's got everyone buzzing. But hold up: this isn't the Marvel Rivals crossover we've been craving. It's Epic flexing its endless Marvel love... with a clever twist.
Epic's Marvel Legacy in Fortnite Runs Deep
Fortnite and Marvel? That's basically ancient history at this point. It all kicked off in 2018 with the Infinity Gauntlet LTM, flooding the game with heroes like Thor, She-Hulk, and the Fantastic Four. So, adding Magik (the Limbo-ruling mutant sorceress) and Luna Snow (K-Pop ice queen) feels right at home.
What doesn't feel routine? The designs. These skins nail the default Marvel Rivals outfits—same hairstyles, same edgy vibes. At first glance, you'd swear it's a Rivals store screenshot. Epic could've gone full Fortnite cartoon, but they matched Rivals pixel-for-pixel (mostly). Smart move for cross-player hype.
Deep Cuts Thanks to Rivals' Spotlight
No offense to the comics faithful, but Magik and Luna Snow were niche picks pre-Rivals. Sure, diehards know Illyana Rasputin and Seol Hee, but for most Fortnite squads? They'd be "who?" without NetEase's hero shooter blowing them up.
By copying Rivals' looks, Epic taps that shared audience. Rivals fans are snapping these up—bundles hit the shop February 15, 2026, with Luna Snow at 2,000 V-Bucks (skin, LEGO styles, back bling, pickaxe, emote) and Magik at 1,500 V-Bucks (skin, LEGO, emote). Available til February 23. Expect a sales spike from dual-game mains logging in just for this.
No Official Team-Up... But Hope's Not Dead?
Zero Rivals shoutouts in the shop. It's pure Fortnite x Marvel branding. Leaks hyped a collab, but this shadow drop says "not yet."
Still, Fortnite's pulling Overwatch heroes after nine years—anything's possible. Until then, these skins are the ultimate tease. Grab 'em before they're gone and rep your Rivals mains in the BR. What's next, full crossover? A guy can dream.
