From the moment 4-year-old Cameron first stepped out into Glimmer in Spyro 2, he knew video games were going to play a central role in the rest of his life. Though he never planned to make it the focal point of his career, Cameron spent the vast majority of his spare time growing up playing games, and following graduation from the University of Reading, he thought he’d try his hand at writing a few reviews. Flash forward five years (four of which have been spent at GameRant) and Cameron’s passion for gaming has only grown. Whether it’s covering daily news, writing a personal feature, interviewing a developer, reviewing the latest title, or being sent across the world to preview an upcoming game, Cameron adores it all, and he wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.

Epic Games has just confirmed that skins from the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass will be returning to the live-service shooter, this time as part of the Item Shop. For those unaware, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 was officially titled ‘Absolute Doom’, and it was the battle royale’s last major crossover season with the Marvel franchise.

Fortnite Is Bringing ‘Absolute Doom’ Skins Back to the Item Shop

Announced via a Twitter post, Epic Games has just announced that the Battle Pass skins of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 are being unvaulted and added to the in-game shop. It’s currently unconfirmed which skins will be unvaulted or when exactly they’ll arrive in the Fortnite Shop, but here’s a full list of every skin that was originally included in the Fortnite Absolute Doom Battle Pass:

Gwenpool
War Machine
Peelverine
Emma Frost
Captain Jones
Mysterio
Shuri
Doctor Doom

For years, the only way players could get their hands on the skins included in Fortnite‘s Battle Passes was to purchase the Pass and complete all of its tiers. But that all changed in August 2024, when Epic Games announced that it would start selling Battle Pass skins in the Fortnite Item Shop 18 months after their initial appearance. It’s been around 22 months since that announcement, and around 19 months since the conclusion of Fortnite‘s Absolute Doom season.
