The Dark Phoenix has finally arrived in Fortnite. On Thursday, Epic Games’ popular battle royale revealed a cinematic for its newest Marvel cosmetic skin, which is based on X-Men fan favourite Jean Grey. This comes after rumours that a “Phoenix Force Set” would be added to the game.

The costume is based on Jean’s Dark Phoenix costume, one of several she’s worn over the years, and includes back bling inspired by her Phoenix Force, as well as a loading screen. These three items are available for 1,500 V-Bucks when purchased together, and there is also a “Rising Phoenix” emote available for 300 V-Bucks.

"I am Fire and Life incarnate! Now and forever – I am Phoenix!"

Jean Grey, who was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963’s The X-Men #1, is a powerful telepath who eventually bonds with an alien entity known as the Phoenix Force. Jean is the latest X-Men character to appear in Fortnite, following Wolverine, Mystique, and Storm as part of the Marvel-themed “Nexus War” season, and Cable, Domino, and Psylocke as paid cosmetics.
Fortnite’s Marvel references have largely been scattered across new cosmetics and skins for movie and TV-related characters since last year’s “Nexus War” season. However, as Epic Games Worldwide Creative Director Donald Mustard stated last year, the collaboration with Marvel isn’t going away anytime soon.

“The reason we called this season ‘Nexus War’ is because this is just the beginning,” Mustard explained on the This Week in Marvel podcast. “This is just the beginning of a long list of things we have in the works for this Marvel integration. This isn’t the end; it’s only the beginning.”

Fortnite is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
