But the god of mischief will not be accessible to everyone. To get the skin for Loki, the adopted brother of Thor in the Marvel universe, Fortnite players will have to be part of the “Fortnite Crew”.

A monthly subscription of US$12 (RM50) gives players access to many bonuses, battle passes and other exclusive rewards.

Players with the Loki Crew Pack will be able to own the character’s cult accessories, including his cape, outfit, sceptre and the Chitauri Chariot Glider, as well as enjoy a new loading home screen in Loki’s signature colours.

It is a good publicity stunt for Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, which is surfing on the trending Loki wave on social networks since the release of the eponymous series on Disney+.

By making the Loki pack accessible only through the Fortnite Crew, the platform could well increase its number of subscribers among fans of the character played on-screen by Tom Hiddleston.
