Fortnite’s monthly subscription service is adding Loki

Marvel’s Loki is joining Fortnite as a playable character this month.

The star of the new Disney+ show is being added to Epic’s battle royale game as part of its $11.99 / £9.99 monthly subscription service, Fortnite Crew.

July 2021’s Fortnite Crew Pack will be released on June 30 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET (July 1 at 1am BST).

“This Pack features the Loki Laufeyson Outfit, his classic accessory the Loki’s Cape Back Bling, the glow stick of destiny Loki’s Scepter Pickaxe, the Chitauri Chariot Glider (not of Asgard or any world known), and the Loki’s Welcoming Loading Screen,” Epic said.

The Fortnite Crew subscription service launched in December 2020 alongside Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 5.

In addition to the current season’s battle pass, each month Fortnite Crew subscribers receive 1,000 V-Bucks and a DLC pack featuring exclusive outfits and accessories.

Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 7, which is titled Invasion, arrived earlier this month. The game’s latest season brought an alien invasion to the Fortnite’s island, and with it a range of new gameplay features including pilotable alien craft and exotic new weaponry.

To coincide with the premiere of the new Loki show earlier this month, Microsoft launched a 30-day Disney+ trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
