The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) have officially joined Fortnite, one of the most popular battle royale games, as part of a special crossover event. Fans of both the Ninja Turtles and Fortnite have been eagerly awaiting the chance to play as their favorite mutant heroes in a half-shell, and the collaboration brings exciting new skins, emotes, and challenges to the game. But how long will the Ninja Turtles stay in Fortnite? Here’s what we know about the duration of their appearance and some details about the crossover event.
How Long Will the TMNT Crossover Last in Fortnite?
As of the latest information, the Ninja Turtles crossover in Fortnite is part of a limited-time event. The event usually includes special skins, in-game items, and challenges, and it typically lasts anywhere from two to four weeks. This is in line with other Fortnite collaborations, which tend to run for a set duration before the content is cycled out.
- Start and End Dates: The exact start and end dates of the TMNT crossover event depend on when it was launched in your region and when Fortnite decides to conclude the event. Generally, these types of events start with a major update or patch and last a few weeks before being replaced with a new collaboration or event.
- Availability of Skins: The TMNT skins and related items (such as back bling, emotes, and pickaxes) are often available for purchase in the in-game shop for a limited time during the event. If you want to grab the skins, it’s important to log in and purchase them while they are available.
Will the Ninja Turtles Be Permanently in Fortnite?
While the initial event is limited-time only, Fortnite has been known to bring popular collaborations back in the future. It’s possible that the Ninja Turtles could make another appearance in the future, either as part of a special event or as part of a rotation of past skins in the item shop.
Fortnite has also featured TMNT skins and items in the past, and while they were initially part of a limited-time event, they occasionally return as part of a seasonal event or special update. So, while the current TMNT content might not be available forever, there’s a good chance the turtles could return to the game down the road.
What Can Players Expect During the TMNT Event?
During the Ninja Turtles crossover event, Fortnite players can expect:
- New Skins: Playable characters representing the iconic turtles—Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael—along with their signature weapons and accessories.
- New Emotes and Back Bling: Special TMNT-themed emotes, such as the iconic turtle dance or using weapons like the bo staff or katana. Back bling and pickaxes featuring turtle-themed items are also likely.
- Challenges and Quests: In-game challenges and quests related to the Ninja Turtles, offering rewards like XP, skins, and other items.
- Themed Map Changes: Fortnite often adds themed areas or cosmetic changes to the map during special events, so players may see locations related to the TMNT universe.
How to Get the Ninja Turtle Skins in Fortnite
To unlock the Ninja Turtle skins, players typically need to:
- Purchase them in the Item Shop: The skins and related items will be available for direct purchase with V-Bucks. You can also buy themed bundles that include multiple skins and accessories.
- Complete Event Challenges: Some crossover events come with special challenges that reward players with in-game currency or exclusive skins. Keep an eye out for TMNT-related challenges during the event to earn rewards.
Conclusion
The Ninja Turtles' stay in Fortnite is part of a limited-time event, which typically lasts between two to four weeks. If you want to grab the TMNT skins and related items, it’s best to do so while the event is live. However, given the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it’s possible that Fortnite will bring them back for future events or as part of an ongoing rotation of fan-favorite skins. Be sure to check the Fortnite Item Shop regularly and participate in any TMNT-themed challenges to make the most of this awesome crossover!
