Son Heung-min in Fortnite: Son skin release date and how to get it explained

Following a few days of leaks, Epic Games officially confirmed that the talismanic winger is getting himself a skin in the iconic shooter.

He's not the only Korean collab going on this month, with a Fortnite x Squid Game crossover coming later on in the ongoing Super season.

So, if you're looking to get your hands on the Son skin in Fortnite, here's when it will release and how to get it.

When is Son Heung-min in Fortnite? Release date confirmed

Son Heung-min will arrive in Fortnite on 21st June in the UK and will be available to claim until 28th June, as has been confirmed by Epic Games.

For all you Fortnite fans in the Americas, that means the skin will drop in the evening of 20th June instead.

The skin and release date were confirmed by Epic Games in a short trailer, as well as on Son's own social media, showing off the skin and even a flashy variant – more on that below.

How to get the Son Heung-min skin in Fortnite

The Son skin will be purchasable from the Fortnite Item Shop, where players will be able to buy just the skin on its own, or a full bundle.

While we don't know exactly what's included, based on the trailer and news from leakers, it appears that the bundle will include:

• Son Heung-min skin
• Back Bling
• Pickaxe
• Weapon Wrap
• Click Celebration Emote

The emote is based on Son's iconic camera celebration, while the skin itself will also feature a variant with purple armour and an eye mask with glowing blue eyes.

As for how much it will cost, bundles like these typically cost between 1,800 to 2,400 V-Bucks, depending on how much is included, though we expect the skin on its own will likely cost 1,500 V-Bucks.

When we get official pricing, we will of course let you know as soon as possible!
