Deadmau5 Fortnite skin – price, release date and every Emote, Instrument and Outfit you can bag

Legendary DJ and frequent video game cameo artist Deadmau5 has finally landed in Fortnite, bringing with him a bundle packed with treats.

It's been a while since we first heard whispers of Deadmau5 making an appearance in Fortnite, but it appears the wait is about to pay off. Cosmetics are the star of the show in Fortnite, with the Fantastic Four cosmetics tying nicely into the current superhero revival in cinemas, and Superman rushing to join them as part of the Super Battle Pass. And it doesn't stop there, as hints have emerged suggesting new Power Rangers and Halo Fortnite crossovers.

However, there's more on the horizon, as previous rumours of Deadmau5 headlining a Fortnite Festival have now morphed into the DJ making his debut in the game as a paid Item Shop skin, following his memorable cameos in Minecraft and Goat Simulator.

There's a surprising amount to delve into with the Deadmau5 Fortnite crossover, particularly considering he's just an Item Shop appearance – and he comes with some rather splendid themed alternative styles too. So, when exactly does he arrive, and what will be the cost? Here's all you need to know about the Deadmau5 Fortnite collection.

, revealing the release date of the bundle, which coincides with the usual time for every cosmetic drop as this is when the game's Item Shop refreshes.

The Deadmau5 Fortnite bundle will set you back a total of 2,600 V-Bucks, offering a saving of 2,400 V-Bucks. If you're looking to snag the full bundle but your in-game wallet is running on empty, your best option would be to purchase 2,800 V-Bucks (£17.49 / $22.99 / AU$30.35) from the Item Shop.

It's quite a substantial bundle of goodies, and it's no shocker that there are numerous Fortnite Festival-themed items included – but the real showstopper is the selectable styles for Deadmau5 himself, decking himself out with fancy reactivity, as well as Peely and Slurp-themed costumes to help him blend into the game's world. It's an impressive collection, and if you're a fan of EDM (or Goat Simulator) then it's definitely not one to pass up.
