Counting Down to the Fortnite Gamora Cup

Music stars, cartoons, athletes, and superheroes have arrived to Fortnite island in the last months. The latest new excitement is the Gamora Cup.

The fierce Guardian of the Galaxy, Gamora has come upon the Fortnite franchise. Her skin will be part of a bundle, including Gamora’s Cloak Back Bling, Godslayer Pickaxe, and the Godslayer Glideboard.

Epic Games has decided to hold a Fortnite tournament in honor of this collaboration, and it's going to be an exciting one!

Once a start time is revealed, we'll update here.
