Players will soon have yet another way to personalize their Fortnite locker, with Epic Games revealing more details about the upcoming new category of cosmetic items that will soon be added to the game. Fortnite‘s newest cosmetic type, called Kicks, will officially launch on November 21 and give players even more freedom to customize their experience in-game, specifically the footwear their character wears. Kicks will come in a variety of styles and be wearable on a number of skins already found within Fortnite.
Despite near-constant updates and overhauls to the way the vehicles, weapons, and the map itself work, perhaps Fortnite‘s biggest draw still remains its ever-growing collection of cosmetics and familiar faces. Fans became immersed in the world of Marvel Comics during Chapter 5 Season 4, which was titled Absolute Doom. As the name suggests, legendary Marvel villain Doctor Doom took over the main Fortnite island, challenging players with new quests and boss fights. This season led right into Fortnite’s new bite-sized Chapter 2 Remix, which will soon give way to Fortnite‘s highly anticipated Chapter 6 update. However, before the next chapter begins, Fortnite is adding a brand-new way for players to add to their lockers.
