Legendary gaming skins in Fortnite are notoriously fleeting; their appearances in the Item Shop are unpredictable and often brief. Kratos's extended absence serves as a stark reminder. But Master Chief, the iconic Halo hero, has returned! After a near 1,000-day hiatus (last seen June 3, 2022), he's back as a Christmas surprise on December 23, 2024.
Suit up in Spartan armor and drop into the Battle Bus as Petty Officer John-117. Secure that Victory Royale as Xbox's most recognizable mascot! But what's included in the Fortnite Master Chief Bundle, and how much will it cost you?
