Mandalorian skin set to land in Fortnite on May 22: Price, features, and how to get It
The force is strong with Fortnite once again. As part of its Galactic Battle season, the game is adding a new Mandalorian skin bundle to its collection on May 22, 2025, marking the return of the beloved bounty hunter Din Djarin - better known as the Mandalorian.
First seen in Fortnite nearly four years ago, the character is back with upgraded features and several customization options, much to the delight of fans.
The release coincides with the Mandalorian Rising update, which also brings gameplay tweaks and new items, including a jetpack designed in true Star Wars fashion.
When and where to get the Mandalorian skin in Fortnite
According to official leakers @Loolo_WRLD and @SpushFNBR, the new Mandalorian Warrior skin will arrive in Fortnite's Item Shop on Thursday, May 22 at 8 PM ET, which is 5:30 AM IST on May 23 for players in India.
It will be part of the Champions of Mandalore bundle and is expected to appear prominently in the Featured section of the shop.
Players can either purchase the full bundle or buy items individually, depending on their preference and budget.
What's inside the bundle?
The Mandalorian bundle includes a range of cosmetics and style edits that give fans several ways to personalise their in-game appearance. Here's what the set contains:
Mandalorian Warrior Outfit - 1,800 V-Bucks
Cape Back Bling - 400 V-Bucks
Vibrodagger & Personal Shield Pickaxe - 800 V-Bucks
Beskar Forge Emote - 300 V-Bucks
Whistling Bird Salute Emote - 300 V-Bucks
For Mandalore Weapon Wrap - 500 V-Bucks
The complete bundle is priced at 2,500 V-Bucks (approx ₹1,500), making it more affordable than buying each item separately.
Apart from cosmetics, the update brings tactical advantages. Players will have access to the Mandalorian Jetpack, ideal for those preferring aerial combat and ranged attacks over close-quarter lightsaber battles. The update may also allow players to recruit Mandalorians as AI squad members, further deepening in-game strategy.
With its mix of nostalgia, visual upgrades, and gameplay impact, the Mandalorian skin bundle promises to be one of the biggest highlights of Fortnite's ongoing Star Wars celebration.
Beyond just cosmetic appeal, it offers players a more immersive experience - complete with customisable armor, exclusive emotes, and a distinct Star Wars vibe that blends seamlessly with Fortnite's vibrant universe. The addition of the jetpack opens up new tactical possibilities, especially for players who prefer vertical movement and long-range combat.
Meanwhile, the potential to recruit Mandalorians as AI squad members could significantly shift the dynamics of team-based gameplay.
Whether you're a longtime Star Wars fan or a dedicated Fortnite player, this update is shaping up to be a must-have moment in the game's seasonal lineup.

Fans dive into San Diego Comic-Con despite drop in celebrity panels
By Rollo Ross and Danielle Broadway SAN DIEGO, July 24 (Reuters) - This year's Comic-Con may not be featuring as much star power as usual, but attendees dressed up for opening day on Thursday were just as pumped as ever to be there. Richard Cao, 38, from San Diego, said he has been preparing for a long time, getting into shape so he can go as bare-chested Inosuke Hashibira, a character from the anime series 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba'. "I lost about 30 pounds over six months, that's just the physical, I guess, investment I made," Cao said. This year's festivities at the San Diego Convention Center will not have the usual Hall H major A-list celebrity panels, which typically discuss popular movie franchises from the likes of Marvel and DC Studios. But highlights will include "Star Wars" creator George Lucas making his San Diego Comic-Con debut and Disney's "Tron: Ares" and "Predator: Badlands" panels. There will also be a panel for the upcoming film "Project Hail Mary" starring Ryan Gosling, and the world premiere of the 'King of the Hill' revival and a panel with show co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. It is also the first year to include a two-day music festival called Crunchyroll Anime FanFest, hosted by Crunchyroll, an American subscription-based anime streaming service owned by Sony Group Corporation. The festival will feature anime music from popular titles, including "The One Piece 25th Anniversary Symphony Voyage," based on the popular anime series. Crunchyroll has over 13 million subscribers globally. Although hotel and overall travel prices continue to rise for those out of town, fans say they weren't deterred. "It's totally worth it," said Sophia Blanco, 39, from New York City who paid "a couple of thousands" for her entire trip. "You go on vacation, you do anything, you're spending money. So, just spend money on what you enjoy, no matter what you do," she added. (Reporting by Ross Rollo and Danielle Broadway; Editing by Edwina Gibbs) Sony Group Corp Walt Disney Co

'Star Wars' creator George Lucas to make Comic-Con debut
Comic-Con kicked off Thursday in California, with expectations running high among devoted fans keen to catch a glimpse of George Lucas at his first-ever appearance at the convention. Warriors, princesses, pirates, wizards, and all manner of costumed characters flooded the streets of San Diego on the first day of an annual event that has become one of the world's biggest celebrations of pop culture. "I waited for this the entire year," said 17-year-old Samantha, who came dressed as the pink Dino Ranger. "It's like Christmas for me!" added the young woman, who had traveled from Florida specifically to see panels for the shows "Miraculous" and "Hazbin Hotel." Other fans couldn't wait to enter the exhibition hall to hunt for memorabilia. George Lucas' First Appearance Comic-Con began holding events in San Diego in 1970, as a low-key and rather niche huddle, but has now grown to an annual get-together that attracts 130,000 people eager to hear behind-the-scenes tidbits from Hollywood stars and from directors unveiling their latest projects. This year's edition will be marked by the presence of legendary filmmaker Lucas, who has never visited the convention before despite Comic-Con culture being deeply rooted in his "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" franchises. In a session on Sunday set to be moderated by Queen Latifah, Lucas will discuss the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art with Mexican director Guillermo del Toro and Oscar-winning artist Doug Chiang, who has shaped the iconic "Star Wars" universe for decades. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The museum, scheduled to open in Los Angeles next year, will be dedicated to illustrated narratives and will house the Lucas archive. "Nearly five decades ago, Star Wars made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention, along with a booth featuring (comic book artist) Howard Chaykin's now legendary Star Wars poster as a promotional item," said David Glanzer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer. "Now, to have Mr. Lucas... is a true full-circle moment. His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community." Alien, Predator, and the End of the World Marvel Studios will have a smaller presence at the convention this year, skipping its eagerly awaited annual presentation in Hall H. According to Variety, changes to the premiere of the new "Avengers" installment complicated logistics for the studio, whose cast is currently filming in Britain. But the absence didn't discourage fans who filled the coveted Hall H for its first panel with the cast of Disney's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." With a sneak peek at the second season, which arrives in December, and news about cast additions for the confirmed third season, the panel moderated by comedian Timothy Simons delighted the massive audience. "Season two is epic," said executive producer Dan Shotz. "We are fighting incredible monsters. It is so massive and we cannot wait for you guys to see it." Author Rick Riordan announced via video that the third season, based on the third book in his series, will feature Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie playing siblings Nico and Bianca di Angelo, children of Hades. Hall H on Friday will host the world premiere of the pilot episode of the prequel "Alien: Earth," directed by Noah Hawley and slated to hit streaming platforms in August. The series takes place a couple of years before the events depicted in Ridley Scott's 1979 film "Alien," offering an expansion of the venerated franchise. Another fan favorite that will have its moment in the spotlight is "Predator: Badlands," with a panel Friday set to include director Dan Trachtenberg, who revitalized the brand with "Prey" (2022). On Saturday, award-winning actor Ryan Gosling and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (behind the new "Spider-Verse" trilogy) will present their "Project Hail Mary," which is due in theaters next year. The film, based on the book by Andy Weir ("The Martian"), follows Ryland Grace (Gosling), a former science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship to discover he's on a mission to save the Earth. Comic-Con runs until Sunday, July 27.

Fortnite streamer Clix left stunned, asks 'Why the f**k did we spend $35,000' before banning 14-year-old donor
Popular Fortnite streamer Cody 'Clix' Conrad made headlines after he found himself in an unexpected moral dilemma. Discovering the staggering amount the young viewer donated to streamers, Clix's broadcast took a sharp turn. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It led to Clix shocked reaction and a swift ban of the donor, leaving the entire streaming community buzzing. The incident, highlighting a complex and murky relationship between streamers and supporters within the digital age, has now sparked heated debates across social media. Clix gives a shocking reaction to the young donor's reasons for donation The entire situation unfolded as streamer Cody Conrad, popularly known as Clix, learned that a fan named Lucaslev (as shown in the video), who claimed to be just 14 years old, donated more than $35,000 in a month. As per the reports, a significant sum was donated to Clix himself. Clix, who was left visibly stunned, was more surprised as he discovered that the teen claimed that he earned $18,000 in profit in the year, and now he wishes to quit the activity that generated such amazing income, after he spent all the money. Showing his disbelief at its peak, Clix said, "Dude I don't wanna like promote refunds but like bro bro why the f**k did we spend $35,000?" The boy in question here gave a nonchalant response to Clix, saying, "Because I don't need it." It seemed like the boy had already sealed his fate. To laugh off such massive expense, which was made by the young donor, became the prompt Twitch chat ban reasons of the donor. This interaction between Clix and the donor became a viral clip, and it fuelled instant controversy. Fans react with outrage, confusion and expectedly questions The clip ignited a huge firestorm of reactions all across social media, and particularly on X. Fans and observers ensured to voice their opinion. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While some slammed Clix for not going ahead and refunding the amount, others blamed the parents of the teen. Some even went ahead and questioned Clix's motives. A X user doubting the sincerity of Fortnite streamer Clix argued, "Fucking idiot says I dont want to promote refunds. If you truly care just say refund this..' While a few felt the ban was quite a necessary lesson for the kid: "Nah. Let the kid learn. Fuck em. Where are his retarded parents?" "Best to let him learn the hard way the kid seems like an idiot who'd just do it again immediately," remarked another. Apart from questioning Clix donation controversy and blaming parents, some discussions even sparked on the origin of the funds in question. A user in the regard commented, "How did a 14 year old do that without any supervision?" "Where'd this kid get his hands on $36k?! His parents got $36k just lying around somewhere?" said another questioning on 14-year-old donor Fortnite contribution. Another tweet read, "what 14 year old has access to 36k in one month without alerting any parents?!" Moving beyond questions about parents, many started pointing to the entire act in itself. A user asked, "I guess im too would anyone donate to a streamer? Do you get anything in return??" "Why do people donate money to streamers?" came another question. A user even said, probably, "streamers must have some magic I don't know about... why do people donate?" As the comments keep flooding in, several users even demanded an action beyond a Twitch ban. "if you're going to ban him you should also return all of the money," a user stated. "This is only a W if he refunds the money because this sounds like a case of child using parents bank card," said another, trying to understand whether would it be right to refund? A sarcastic comment even kicked in. While the user did accept that the entire act was impressive, it went ahead to say, it could have been more impressive if the money was returned, but then, 'Doubt that will happen." Comments like, "Bro waited until he got over 30k to say anything," "And he waited the guy to give him 36K ? That's a bit late innit ?" even highlighted some concerns on the act of Clix. It showed that, while the Fortnite donations ethics was definitely right at the time, why would Clix do it only after he received significant benefit out of it? But this was not the end. The comments are still flooding in, and they are all shocked, confused and full of judgements. Now, who is right and who is wrong, we don't know, but the community for sure is out there judging Clix. How well he handles the entire situation, only time will tell. Beyond banning accountability and ethics in streaming The entire incident brought uncomfortable questions about responsibility. While Clix did take action to ban the minor, the amount of donations he himself received from the boy raises some red flags about an oversight. Was the money earned by the teen, or did he have improper access to it? The immediate lack of refunds, despite the shock of criticism on Clix, is drawing him major criticism. For a prominent figure like Clix himself, who is one of the most successful streamers of Fortnite, the entire situation underscores an ethical tightrope walk in viewership monetization. It shows young fans' potential vulnerability and often-blurred line between compulsion, appreciation and financial recklessness within the high-stakes world of content creator donations high-stakes world. The polarized reaction of the community reflects ongoing debate on streamer accountability when faced with some viewers' generosity, particularly from minors.
