The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has raced into Fortnite, making famed characters such as Sonic, Shadow, and more available as in-game skins. As a consequence, the Shadow The Hedgehog skin in particular has been a trending cosmetic in the Item Shop since its introduction.
Unlike the Sonic skin, which is part of Fortnite Override’s Battle Pass and hence available throughout the entirety of the season, the Shadow skin is on sale for a limited time until August 30, 5 PM PT or 8 PM ET. The latter outfit is available for 1,800 V-Bucks in the Shop and comes bundled with the Super Shadow Transformation emote and Doom’s Eye back bling.
Steps to claim Shadow the Hedgehog skin in Fortnite
- In Fortnite, go to the Shop tab.
- After that, scroll to the “Sonic the Hedgehog” section and select your desired skin.
- Finally, press the Purchase button to confirm your decision.
Apart from purchasing the Shadow the Hedgehog skin separately, you can also buy it as part of the Shadow the Hedgehog & Knuckles the Echidna Bundle for 3,600 V-Bucks. This particular offer additionally throws in the Knuckles the Echidna skin and nine other related cosmetics at a discount of 4,700 V-Bucks.

Wrapping up
Thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog headlining Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, its characters have been among the first to be rolled out in the Item Shop. At the time of writing, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider has been confirmed to land in the game this week, whereas Crash Bandicoot and Spyro have also been teased, albeit with no specific timeline.
As the season continues, it is fair to expect several more video game franchises to become part of Fortnite Override. That’s because the promotional images and videos for the new season have already revealed that IPs such as Street Fighter, Persona, The Witcher, and more are set to appear in some capacity.
