The presence of Ezio from the Assassin's Creed series in Fortnite was first revealed over a month ago, but it now seems that Eivor Varinsdottir from Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be coming to the battle royale game's storefront this week. Starting from 8pm ET on Thursday 7th April, players will be able to pick up both protagonists from Ubisoft's series in the Fortnite Item Shop.
Eivor will be able to wield 'Eivor's Shield Back Bling' — "a shield bearing the mark of the Raven Clan" — plus some handaxes and the 'Wolf-Kissed Longboat Glider', all available for V-bucks in the game's store, with the former two including the Viking War Cry Emote, which sees her bang her handaxe on her shield. Like that bit in Frozen 2 when the soldiers bang their swords against their shields to attract the big rock monsters. Yep.
You can also buy all the extras in the 'Tales from the Animus Bundle', if you want the full kit.
Prices haven't been announced yet — although we'd hazard a guess they'll be perfectly pitched at the 'I can just about stretch to that' if you're a massive AC fan, and the 'blimey, that's a bit steep!' if you're not.
Let us know below which camp you're in.

I haven't played a single AC game, but Eivor before Ezio? Not really odd, but still odd at the same time?
I must say, she looks fantastic. Love her design/art style 😍
Don't think I've played any AC games after like 3 or 4, so don't know who she is but she does look cool and it's nice to see who I'll be shooting shortly, know they enemy and all that.
@DreamlandGem That I can't deny, she looks awesome!
I wonder if a Nintendo character will ever end up on fortnite?
She should have been added a fortnite ago.
So i'm guessing Ubi are confirming the female option is canon then.

Nintendo’s probably one of the few that can’t be persuaded with money to have their characters murdering people with realistic guns in this black hole of a game, Samus was the only vague chance Epic had at this and they seemed to have blown it.
Now with Ubisoft joining Fortnite when can we see Rayman 🙂 I’m only half joking haha. I also think some Brawlhalla characters would make neat Fortnite skins.
