The iconic Halo protagonist, Master Chief, is finally returning to the Fortnite Item Shop after a long hiatus of over 900 days. Last seen in June 2022, the Spartan’s reappearance is highly anticipated by fans who have been clamoring for his return to the battle royale. According to reliable Fortnite leaker HYPEX, Master Chief is scheduled to land back in the Item Shop on December 23rd.
Master Chief’s Fortnite Comeback Details
As with previous appearances, Master Chief’s return to Fortnite will likely feature his signature skin for 1,500 V-Bucks. Players can also expect the return of the comprehensive Master Chief Bundle for 2,600 V-Bucks. This bundle typically includes the Master Chief skin, the Gravity Hammer pickaxe, the UNSC Pelican glider, the Lil’ Warthog emote, and the Battle Legend back bling.
Cyberpunk 2077 Joins the Fray
Master Chief’s return isn’t the only exciting news for Fortnite fans. He’ll be joined by another gaming giant, Cyberpunk 2077, also slated to debut in Fortnite on December 23rd. While details are scarce, the Cyberpunk 2077 cosmetics are rumored to feature an outfit for the iconic character, Johnny Silverhand. This marks the first appearance of Cyberpunk 2077 content within the Fortnite universe.
Kratos’ Return on the Horizon?
Master Chief’s return could reignite calls for another popular gaming icon to rejoin the battle: God of War’s Kratos. Like Master Chief, Kratos has been a highly requested skin, with fans eagerly awaiting his return to the Item Shop. It’s been over 1370 days since Kratos last graced the Fortnite battlefield, one of the longest absences for any skin. With Xbox’s mascot making a comeback, perhaps PlayStation will follow suit, striking a deal with Epic Games to bring Kratos back to Fortnite in 2025.
Conclusion
The return of Master Chief, alongside the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 content, promises an exciting holiday season for Fortnite players. While the future remains uncertain for Kratos, fans can rejoice in the return of the legendary Spartan, ready to once again dominate the Fortnite island.
