Fortnite is known for its collaborations, but a lot of them don’t make regular comebacks. One notable absence for a long time has been their collab with Stranger Things. That changed when the OG chapter brought it back to the item shop with new skins. However, one of the most exciting Stranger Things skins was still rarely seen. Today, we’ve seen the return of the Demogorgon Fortnite skin after a long hiatus.
Among all the Fortnite collaborations, Stranger Things had a particularly long absence after Chapter 1. Since it returned in OG, the series has had a more consistent rotation. However, the Demogorgon skin often remained on the sidelines, with the human characters from the series taking the spotlight. Now that it’s back in the Item Shop; what were the reasons that led to its absence and how can you get it back?
The Demogorgon Fortnite Skin
The Demogorgon Fortnite skin is back in the item shop after being gone for over 300 days. Before its brief two-day appearance in 2023, it hadn’t been seen since 2019, making it one of the rarest skins available. Its infrequent appearance might be due to its unique design. As a monster, and a rather intimidating one at that, it doesn’t appeal to every player. With Fortnite now reaching a wider audience through collaborations with Lego and various game modes, not every skin is made available to everyone.
To avoid potentially scary skins from raising the age rating across all modes, Epic has categorized certain skins as restricted in specific games. The Demogorgon is one of those skins. While this doesn’t directly impact its return, other restricted skins like Eddie Brock have also been missing for a while, until recently. With both making a comeback now, fans looking for the spookiest Fortnite skins have more options than ever.
Finding the Demogorgon back in the item shop
We’re currently in the last week of Fortnitemares before the game moves into a new Chapter. There have been some exciting new additions in the item shop, including the return of several skins like the Demogorgon.
If you’re looking to grab the Stranger Things monster, now is the ideal time! It often goes missing for long stretches, so it’s hard to say when it will be back. Plus, since it’s an item shop skin, you’ll need to buy it with V-Bucks, as there are no quests available this time.
