Fortnite’s Season 4 Marvel crossover is still going strong following the brief Halloween interlude the game took in late October. For those who haven’t seen, Fortnite is teasing Ghost Rider as the next character that players can look forward to and actually unlock early.
However, as the Ghost Rider Cup that allows players to earn the skin just started, fans haven’t gotten the best look at Ghost Rider yet. Now, thanks to prominent Fortnite leaker HypeX on Twitter, fans have a much better look at the full skin alongside Ghost Rider’s full cosmetic set.
Epic Games announced the Ghost Rider Cup as the only way to get the Ghost Rider skin early and for free not too long ago. For those wondering how to unlock Fortnite’s Ghost Rider skin, players must place high enough in the Ghost Rider Cup knockout mode to earn the skin before it goes live in the shop. Until now, Epic Games has only showcased a handful of promotional renders for the skin, but with the latest Fortnite update dataminers have been able to pull out all of Ghost Rider’s cosmetic items.
The Fortnite Season 4 Marvel crossover has brought some amazing skins to the game like Thor, Groot, and Wolverine. However, Ghost Rider’s overall look and feel can’t be described as anything other than cool. Ghost Rider’s full cosmetic set is equally as cool with his iconic flaming motorcycle acting as the character’s glider and his infernal chains representing his pickaxe. Additionally, Ghost Rider comes with a back bling item that represents his infernal chain ball and a cosmetic rap called Skull Fire that engulfs item skins in swirling flames.
Ghost Rider has always been one of Marvel’s most underrepresented characters so it’s nice to see him get representation in Fortnite’s Marvel crossover. Though, his representation in Fortnite really solidifies the fact that Ghost Rider needs a bigger video game appearance sometime in the future. Until that happens Ghost Rider’s depiction in Fortnite is a very solid start. The more cartoony and soft style surprisingly benefits Ghost Rider’s more fantastical design and his different cosmetics fit right in with the game’s style.
For those looking forward to more Marvel heroes getting added to Fortnite, there are still a handful of new skins heading to the game before Season 4 ends. Additionally, Epic’s Creative Director Donald Mustard has confirmed that more Marvel and Fortnite crossover content will come to the game over the years. If Epic keeps handling Marvel content similarly to the recent skins like Ghost Rider, it should turn out to be an amazing long-term collaboration.
Fortnite is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
