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.

Not Danny Dezongpa, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor, this actor glamorized the villain culture, overshadowed 2 superstars in blockbuster film, movie name is…, he was…
Over the years, Bollywood has celebrated many memorable villains, Late Amrish Puri's magnetic Mogambo in Mr. India, Danny Denzongpa's chilling presence, Late Ajit Khan's suave evil masterminds with his famous 'Mona darling' flair, Sanjay Dutt's raw and intense character of Kaancha and Adheera, or the recent menacing portrayal of Arjun Kapoor as Danger Lanka. But this one actor from golden era, whose eerie laugh, chilling dialogues and sinister presence became an unforgettable memory etched in the hearts of cinephiles. Who was this villain? That menacing figure was Gabbar Singh from the classic film Sholay (1975), which was portrayed by legendary actor Late Amjad Khan, who rose from relative obscurity to stardom through this role, initially offered to another actor, but fate had other plans. Released with giants like Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra as leads, Sholay became a blockbuster and is often compared to Star Wars in its cultural impact. While the film itself was a massive hit, it was Gabbar Singh who overshadowed even the heroes; his lines 'Kitne aadmi the?' and 'Jo darr gaya… samjho marr gaya' remain iconic decades later. What other films were done by Amjad Khan? Amjad Khan went on to feature in over 130 films, playing intense antagonists in movies like Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (as Dilawar) and Parvarish. He was even rooted for humor, appearing in beloved films like Qurbani and Yaarana. His versatility impressed audiences in serious, comic and positive roles as well. His royal stance and subtle acting as Nawab Wajid Ali Shah in Satyajit Ray's film Shatranj Ke Khiladi (1977) was an invaluable contribution to Indian art cinema. The dignity with which he played the role of Akbar in 'Meera' (1979) became a standard in the portrayal of historical characters. More about Amjad Khan His performance changed the trajectory of character actors in Hindi cinema. He became the first on-screen villain to appear in a mainstream commercial advertisement, endorsing Britannia biscuits as Gabbar Singh himself. On July 27, 1992, Amjad Khan passed away at age 51 due to a heart attack, yet his legacy as Bollywood's ultimate antagonist remains vivid. Films like Sholay and its villain Gabbar Singh remain benchmarks for generations, with Amjad Khan's compelling portrayal continuing to define pure, unredeemed evil on screen.
