Epic Games like to share new cosmetic items on the weekend, some of which also turn out to be the most wanted among fans.
And tonight appears to have seen the latest big update to the item shop, this time adding the Fortnite Omen skin.
The new Legendary outfit is now live on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Mobile platforms, providing an intriguing new look.
The Omen comes with its own unique Cape Back Bling, as well as a hefty price tag.
Like all Legendary skins, the Omen costs 2,000 V-Bucks, which also has an additional item that can make the complete set.
The Oracle Axe Harvesting Tool completes the mystical looks but will cost fans 1,200 V-Bucks to add to their collection.
These new items are available now but comes with a countdown timer on all platforms.
To add the new pieces to your collection, fans will need to head over to the Fortnite shop within the next 48hrs.
After that, the new items will be swapped out by other skins and cosmetics, with no confirmed date for their return.
Most skins do eventually cycle back in via Epic Games’ popular online shop, but it could be away for a while.
It should be noted that while the Omen skin may catch the eye of players for its unique look, it won’t add much else.
The Legendary outfit does not harbour any special abilities, with Epic Games make it clear that everything in their store is cosmetic only.
Dataminers actually found the Omen skin before its release, hiding in one of the game’s most recent updates.
Fans also found another skin called Fate, which looks set to be released later this month.
It follows news that Fortnite developer Epic Games has dropped a huge hint about Battle Royale season 5.
Eagle-eyed Nintendo Switch players have spotted a brand new countdown clock on television sets within the game.
Currently only appearing on Nintendo Switch (via FortniteInsider), it’s believed the clocks are linked to the mysterious Visitor character.
The latest hidden loading screen featured an image of the Visitor preparing to launch a rocket.
A rocket hologram can also be spotted in the super villain lair within the Battle Royale map.
It’s possible Epic Games will release a brand new post-apocalyptic map for the next season/
The countdown timer comes to an end on Tuesday, so expect to find out more after the release of the next update.
Something similar happened during the transition between Season 3 and Season 4.
More teasers are expected to be shared by Epic Games in the coming weeks.
