Avatar: The Legend of Korra arrives in the world of Fortnite today (2nd April), with the master elemental manipulator Korra receiving her very own skin in the game.

Not to be confused with the James Cameron Avatar movies, Avatar: The Legend of Korra is about a rebellious young woman who can control the elements, and fights to keep her city and the Southern Water Tribe from danger.

It served as a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, running as an anime series from 2012 to 2014.

Now Fortnite is set to become the new home of Korra, likely building off its predecessor's Netflix adaption.

Read on for all the Fortnite Korra details, including release date news and how to get the Korra skin.

The Korra skin released in Fortnite on 2nd April 2024, with Epic Games publishing an official blog post to confirm the news.

The blog post went live around 2pm GMT, from a UK time zone perspective, so we assume the skin unlocked in the game at that kind of time as well.

The outfit can be found in Chapter 5 Season 2 battle pass, and it comes as expected with some emotes, back bling, a loading screen and a specialist weapon.

And here's a fun little detail: a LEGO minifigure of Korra has also been made available simultaneously for LEGO Fortnite.

To get the Fortnite Korra skin, you need to complete the first page of the special Korra battle pass that has now been added to the game.

The quests on that first page are:

  • Emerge from water: Bend from where you began — Unlocks the Korra Loading Screen.
  • Collect four Mythic items: "I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!" — Unlocks the Avatar's Descent Contrail.
  • Do 2,000 damage to opponents before the second Storm circle starts: A lack of restraint isn’t always a bad thing — Unlocks the Determined Korra Spray.
  • Mantle, hurdle or slide 50 times during the daytime: "The morning is evil." — Unlocks the Water Tribe Colours Wrap.
  • Hit the same player with a Mythic and non-Mythic weapon: Balance out your strategy — Unlocks the Waterbender's Battle Fans Pickaxe.

Once you've got all those quests ticked off, you'll unlock the Korra skin in Fortnite!

And if you want even more Avatar-themed goodies, including a 'Balanced' Style for the Korra skin, keep going on to the second page of the Korra battle pass.

Fortnite is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via the Epic Games Store.
