American hip hop group, Wu-Tang Clan, has teamed up with Fortnite to bring gamers an exclusive collection of “Wu Wear” items for players to collect.
The collaborative selection, available in the Fortnite Item Shop, includes two outfits and matching accessories for each, including a “Back Blings”, “Pickaxes”, and more.
“To commemorate this drop in Fortnite, Wu-Tang is also dropping a full capsule of Fortnite x Wu-Tang gear, including physical versions of in-game looks,” Fortnite added.
Alongside the avatar wear and accessories, the Epic Games video game will also drop an exclusive “emote”, an in-game feature that allows players to select a victory dance move for their avatars. The dance will see players bop with their hands raised into “W”.

The news comes as many other artists look to feature in the game as part of the brand’s “Soundwave Series” movement.
“Music transcends any language, and has been a beloved part of Fortnite’s journey since our first in-game concert in 2019,” Epic Games vice-president of global partnerships, Nate Nanzer, said.
“The Soundwave Series continues that legacy and will introduce incredible crossover artists from around the world to millions of new fans inside Fortnite Creative, where there are virtually no limits on what can be designed by our community.”
Most recently Marshmello and Travis Scott decided to partner up with Fortnite to bring music fans exclusive in-game features. Fashion brands Moncler and Balenciaga have also released virtual clothes in the game.
Wu-Tang Clan member RZA added: “Fortnite has been in my household for years. It’s been a pleasure and joy watching the game evolve, while becoming the go-to pastime. This collaboration is a multigenerational ‘drip’ of swag and cool.”
