Gamora is flying into Fortnite<\/a>, bringing a special new skin with her, with the Guardians of the Galaxy hero popping over to the island to help out with the ongoing alien invasion at the heart of Fortnite Season 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Teasing Gamora\u2019s arrival in a blog post<\/a>, Epic Games said, \u201cAbductions continue and all efforts of staving off the invasion have proven futile. It\u2019s time to call upon the fiercest woman in the galaxy for help\u2026 Gamora!<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the last remaining Zen-Whoberian, Gamora knows full well the devastating effects of planetary invasions. The former Guardian of the Galaxy member joins the fight to preserve and protect the Fortnite Island from the trespassers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortnite\u2019s Gamora outfit will include Gamora\u2019s Cloak Back Bling, the Godslayer Pickaxe, and the Godslayer Glideboard. But to find out when the Gamora skin arrives in the Item Shop, and how you can get it early, read on!<\/p>\n

When does Gamora come to the Fortnite Item Shop?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As Epic Games said in the aforementioned blog post about today\u2019s news, \u201cGamora will pair up with Star-Lord in the Item Shop on August 18 at 8pm ET.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here in the UK, that means the Gamora skin will arrive in Fortnite\u2019s Item Shop on Thursday 19th August at 1am BST<\/strong>. There isn\u2019t all that long to wait, then.<\/p>\n

How to get the Gamora skin early with Fortnite\u2019s Gamora Cup<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Fortnite developers at Epic Games are giving you the chance to try and win the Gamora skin before it\u2019s available for purchase. You\u2019ll have to take part in the Gamora Cup, and earn a fair few points in the process of doing so, if you want to wear this outfit before ordinary punters can buy it.<\/p>\n

The blog says, \u201cOn August 11th you\u2019ll have the opportunity to earn the Gamora Outfit and Gamora Cloak Back Bling. You and your Duo partner will have 3 hours to earn as many points as you can in 10 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe top performing teams in each region will receive the Gamora Outfit and Gamora Cloak Back Bling. Anyone who earns at least 8 points will earn the Daughter of Thanos Spray.\u201d<\/p>

In the Gamora Cup, 42 points are awarded for a Victory Royale, and there are 36 points awarded to players that come second. The number of points awarded decreases with your rank, all the way down to the bottom of the leader board, where one point is awarded for ranking between 45th and 50th in a match. You can read the full rules on Epic Games\u2019 website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This, of course, is pretty similar to the Thanos Cup<\/a>, which allowed players to win Gamora\u2019s adopted dad in a similar fashion earlier this year. Plus, Epic Games has already confirmed that Gamora\u2019s teammate and love interest, Star-Lord, will come to the Item Shop on the same day as her.<\/p>\n

How much does the Gamora skin cost in Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no word yet on the Gamora skin\u2019s price in the Fortnite Item Shop, but that hasn\u2019t stopped fans from guessing it. Plenty of people seem to be predicting that this new Guardians of the Galaxy outfit will cost around 1,500 V-Bucks. Time will tell if that prediction is correct, of course.<\/p>\n

This multimedia crossover event doesn\u2019t appear to have anything to do with Square Enix\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy game<\/a>, which will launch in October and allow players to experience a single-player adventure where you play as Star-Lord<\/a>.<\/p>\n
