Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is here and it has shaken up the game in a huge way, at times it feels more like you’re playing Twisted Metal than Fortnite, but one of the most exciting additions in this season is from a completely different franchise, with X-Men’s Magneto being included in the Battle Pass.

Ever since Chapter 1 Season 4, each Battle Pass has included a ‘secret skin’ which became available in week 7. These skins often were related to the story and lore of the game, such as including members of The Seven, and this time around it’s the arch-villain of the X-Men taking up the mantle – here’s how to unlock him.

This bonus skin that will be available in the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass is X-Men’s Magneto. Epic Games is no stranger to working with Marvel, with the iconic comic franchise even being the first-ever collaboration in the game, as well as seeing its own dedicated season in Chapter 2. Disney, the company that now owns Marvel, recently invested $1.5 billion into Epic Games, which means we will see many more collaborations between the two, with Kingdom Hearts being rumored to be coming to the game.
