Fortnitehas proven to be one of the most popular games of the last two years, and a lot of that success is due to how aggressively Epic Games can market it. It’s gotten very good at putting the game where it’s visible to the average consumer curious about what all the fuss over this battle royale shooter is about. To that end, with the holiday season just about starting, a newFortnitebundle is now available to make the game even more visible to busy shoppers.
Today, Epic announced theFortnite Darkfire Bundle, the latest retail-based option for purchasing the game. This new bundle has seen the company team up once more with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, which helped it last year with distributing the game’s first retail version, theFortnite Deep Freeze Bundle.
Like that bundle, theDarkfire Bundleis available now for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, and comes at a price of $29.99. While that sounds like a huge rip-off for a game that can be downloaded for free, it’s actually one ofthe best deals one can get forFortnitecontent. That’s because, like theDeep Freeze Bundlebefore it, this one doesn’t just come with the game but plenty of in-game extras as well.

In total, there are 13 new items included in theFortnite Darkfire Bundle, like new dark-themed character skins, pickaxes, and more that would fit in well inthe Fortnitemares event happening now, and they are:
Shadow Strikers Dual-Wielding Pickaxe
Unification Emote
Altogether, Epic says there is $80 worth of content available in the bundle. That means a $30 purchase will get consumers an extra $50’s worth of extra for free. Since one of the popular things to do inFortniteisunlock new pickaxes, character skins, and other cosmetic items, this is definitely something consumers interested in the game ought to keep in mind.
This new content isn’t exclusive to theDarkfire Bundle, however. Those who already ownFortnitecan purchase the new items in the in-game store, while those who’d rather not brave overcrowded retailers this holiday season can download theDarkfire Bundle, withFortniteincluded, through the above-mentioned platforms’ digital stores.
Fortniteis free-to-play on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
