You can get Fortnite skins by buying Marvel comics

Fortnite and Marvel are no strangers to collaboration, so it comes as no surprise that the two properties are teaming up for a crossover comic series. What does come as a surprise is that you can get exclusive in-game cosmetics by buying issues, adding a little incentive for Fortnite players to venture into the world of comics.

FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR #1 Trailer | Marvel Comics

Fortnite: Zero War is the new comic series that unites the worlds of Marvel and Fortnite, bringing the new cast of Fortnite‘s Chapter Three to Marvel’s comic book universe. Unlike the the in-game Fortnite crossovers where Marvel characters are thrown into the mix to become marketing icons, there’s an actual reason for the clash in the comics. But the companies haven’t left a lucrative marketing opportunity on the sidelines, as shown by the redeemable cosmetics.

By collecting first-print issues of this five-part comic series, players can redeem codes for various cosmetics that can be used in the game. These cosmetics include skins, sprays, pickaxes, loading screens, and more. There is also a final bonus outfit that comes from collecting all issues and redeeming all the previous cosmetics.

Marvel has confirmed that you don’t only have to buy physical paperback editions of the comics to unlock the exclusive cosmetics. Players can also go to the official Marvel Comics app to purchase issues of Fortnite: Zero War.

The series begins running in June and is set for monthly releases.Anyone wanting to chase down all the cosmetics within the pages should be on the lookout from then until October 2022.

Get ready for Marvel vs. Capcom’s return with this retro hidden gem
They key art for SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos' re-release.

Crossovers reigned at Evo 2024. Some of the best reveals of the entire event included seeing Terry Bogard in Street Fighter 6 for the first time and learning that Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is coming to Guilty Gear Strive next year. It’s a sign of a healthy genre that video game developers of all kinds want in on. The marquee moment from Evo 2024 that demonstrated this was when SNK, the developer behind series like The King of Fighters and Fatal Fury, shadow-dropped SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos.

Released on PC last Saturday and on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on Monday, SVC Chaos is the latest fighting game re-release from Code Mystics that takes an arcade classic and revitalizes it for modern platforms with features like online play and rollback netcode. It’s a well-done double-dip of a somewhat obscure and unloved fighting game, and an amazing primer for another crossover fighter I’m looking forward to later this year: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics.
Titans spar
During the arcade golden age of the 1990s, genre rivals SNK and Capcom collaborated to finally make crossover fighting games that featured characters from their respective franchises. Capcom developed two Capcom vs. SNK games in 2000 and 2001, while SNK followed up in 2003 with its arcade take on the concept after only producing Neo Geo Pocket games for it prior. That game is SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.

This $3 horror game is the creepiest thing you can buy on Steam right now
A man sits in a chair in Clickolding.

I'll be honest: I don't want to tell you a single thing about Clickolding. The cryptic new PC game is so indescribably weird that I'd rather you just go into it entirely blind. It's $3, it's 40 minutes long, and it's the most unsettling thing you'll play all year. If you're comfortable leaving it at that, feel free to pop over to Steam and give it a purchase, no further questions asked.

If you're still here, strap in. Clickolding is the latest project from Strange Scaffold, the indie team that's made a name for itself in a few short years with games like El Paso, Elsewhere and Sunshine Shuffle. The studio has leaned more and more into unnerving psychological horror as it finds its voice (as evidenced by this year's Life Eater), but it takes that to a new level with its downright antagonistic new game that's designed to drive you to the brink of madness.

Forget the DualSense Edge. This is the best PS5 controller you can buy this Prime Day
A Victrix Pro BFG and all its parts sit splayed out on a table.

This Prime Day, you may find yourself in the market for a new PS5 controller. You could get a standard DualSense for under $70 -- and even get one in a fancy color -- but you might be looking for something a little more premium to get a better deal. Your eye might instead be drawn to the DualSense Edge, Sony's answer to the Xbox Elite Series 2. But there's an even better option.

The Victrix Pro BFG is for $165. It may not be a first-party Sony controller, but it's still the best PS5 gamepad you can buy right now.
