The Fortnite Boba Fett skin release date will take place on Friday 24th December 2021. This is basically a Christmas Eve treat for the fans, then!
It looks like we’ll be getting a skin based on Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett and a skin based on Ming-Na Wen’s Fennec Shand, but it remains to be seen if any other members of the Book of Boba Fett cast will appear in Fortnite form.

Latest deals
Fortnite Boba Fett skin price
The Fortnite Boba Fett skin price has not been confirmed by official sources yet, but we would expect each individual skin to cost around 1500 V-Bucks on its own.
Or, judging by previous form, you might be able to buy the Boba Fett and Fennec Shand skins together in a bundle for around 2000 V-Bucks. That’s roughly what we’d expect to see in the Fortnite Item Shop.
How to get Boba Fett skin in Fortnite
As far as we know at the time of writing, the only way to get the Boba Fett skin (and the other new Star Wars outfits in Fortnite) will be to buy them from the Fortnite Item Shop.
There’s no word yet on the Boba Fett skin or the Fennec Shand skin being added to the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 battle pass as an unlock-able reward, but it might be worth checking in on your battle pass after the skins launch just to double check that.
If there’s no sign of an alternate way, and you’re desperate to play as Boba Fett in Fortnite, you’ll just have to pay for the privilege of dressing up as this iconic Star Wars bounty hunter.
