Fortnite Solid Snake release date and items
Which Solid Snake variants will be added?
Only one true Solid Snake variant will be added as part of the Fortnite X Metal gear intersection. Old Snake can be earned, which fans will know is mainly featured Metal Gear Solid4. There are minor variations where you can add or take away Snake’s binoculars, but that’s it for now.
Fortnite is set to add Solid Snake from the Metal gear series. He is the bonus skin this season and brings with him a whole host of espionage-oriented items. As with most bonus skins, Solid Snake was not available at first Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, instead of unlocking mid-season. We have to wait a little longer, but luckily not too long.
The current season of Fortnite has added weapon attachments to the ongoing Battle Royale shooter. Not only that, but Peter Griffin from the TV show Family man has joined the fun, appearing as one of many mini-bosses each holding a shield-regenerating medallion. Solid Snake will be available soon, along with a very cool skin variant.
Here’s when Fortnite Solid Snake comes out, as well as a quick look at the items you can earn once he does. Please note that the items are currently grayed out in-game and will be revealed at a later date. Coincidentally, though, they can be found on one of Epic’s official websites, so let’s take a look.
Fortnite Solid Snake Release Date
Fortnite Solid Snake will be released on January 23, 2024. This is listed on the main Battle Pass screen, as shown in the image above. At the top left you will see a timer counting down to January 23. The exact times have yet to be announced.
Fortnite Solid Snake Items
If you go to the Solid Snake screen of the Fortnite launcher, you will notice that the items are grayed out as question marks for now. Luckily, the Solid Snake items are shown on the Fortnite website. They include the following:
- Old snake skin
- Night vision goggles style
- Metal Gear bling back
- Glider
- Stun Knife harvesting tool
- Weapon cover
We’ll know the official names for some of these items once they’re added to the game. For now you can see them on the website and in the image above. Unlocking them will likely be done through specific quests. We bet it involves shooting cameras, sneaking around enemies and maybe even some cardboard box related tricks. We’ll have to wait and see.
