SHIELD boss Nick Fury is now in Fortnite

Another Marvel character has been added to the seemingly endless Fortnite roster, this time in the form of Nick Fury.

“Master of espionage (and definitely probably not a Life-Model Decoy), Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. sneaks onto the Island to root out Cube corruption. Defend the Island from the supernatural Cube threat with the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Set available in the Item Shop!” an announcement reads.

It’s fitting that Nick Fury should be added now as the Fortnite Chapter 2 Finale event – The End – is currently ongoing centred around The Cube Queen. As the aforementioned announcement reads, “This isn’t the first time Nick Fury has dealt with supernatural Cubes”.

While this version of the character is inspired by the MCU one this clearly isn’t a stand in for Samuel L. Jackson.

We recently saw Jackson, seemingly aged up and sporting some impressive facial hair, in a promotional picture for the upcoming Secret Invasion show on Disney+.

As with most new additions to the game this new player skin doesn’t arrive alone but instead comes with several other items in a bundle:

  • F.I.E.L.D. Pack Back Bling (sold with the Outfit): Just the thing for Front-line Infiltration, Espionage, and Long-term Deployment.
  • Director’s Scythe Pickaxe: Has sliced through many armored hulls.
  • First-Strike Infiltration Glider: Lets out a blue flame and emblazoned with S.H.I.E.L.D.’s logo.

This bundle also includes a loading screen called “Quinjets in Flight“.

This piece of art also has us asking: why can’t players choose what the Battle Bus looks like? With most visual parts of Fortnite designed to sell skins we’re surprised that different looks for the Battle Bus haven’t also been monetised.

We’re not sure how this would work though. Maybe every player sees a different version of the bus or its randomised every round?

Regardless of implementation, being able to jump out of a Quinjets or a SHIELD Helicarrier would be nice.
