The virtual band phenomenon is coming to Fortnite in a big way! Fresh leaks from renowned data miner @SpushFNBR reveal that the Fortnite Gorillaz Bundle will cost 2600 V-Bucks and feature exclusive Item Shop content that’ll make any fan of the British cartoon band absolutely ecstatic.
According to leaks and data mined by the leaker @SpushFNBR, an array of cosmetics based on members of the iconic band Gorillaz could make their way to the Fortnite Item Shop. While the full bundle is expected to cost 2600 V-Bucks, players should be able to purchase items individually as well.

The Split Release Strategy: Fortnite Festival Pass vs Item Shop
Here’s where it gets interesting for Gorillaz fans! The four band members won’t all be available through the same method. 2D and Noodle skins are in the Fortnite Item Shop, bundle costs 2,600 V-Bucks. Russel and Murdoc are unlocked through the Season 10 Music Pass (1,400 V-Bucks/ Fortnite Crew pack).
This strategic split means dedicated fans will need to invest in both the Festival Music Pass and the Item Shop bundle to collect the complete Gorillaz lineup.

The 2600 V-Bucks price point positions the Item Shop bundle as a premium offering, typical for major collaboration releases in Fortnite.
What’s Included in the 2600 V-Bucks Bundle?
While specific cosmetic details are still being decrypted, expect the bundle to include:
2D Outfit: The blue-haired frontman with his signature style Noodle Outfit: The badass guitarist in her iconic look Back Blings: Themed accessories for both characters Pickaxes: Custom harvesting tools matching each character Emotes: Gorillaz-inspired dance moves and gestures
The bundle structure suggests players can purchase individual items separately, though the bundle will offer better value for those wanting both characters.
Festival Season 10: The Complete Gorillaz Experience
The Gorillaz are officially headlining Season 10, and honestly, it’s about time. Festival Season 10 launches August 26, 2025, bringing the virtual band’s greatest hits to Fortnite’s music mode.
The Music Pass inclusion of Murdoc and Russel means players can unlock these characters by progressing through Festival challenges and earning XP, making it more accessible than direct purchase.
Smart Shopping: How to Get All Four Skins
For budget-conscious players, here’s the optimal approach:
- Purchase Festival Season 10 Music Pass (1,400 V-Bucks) – Unlocks Murdoc & Russel
- Buy Item Shop Bundle (2,600 V-Bucks) – Secures 2D & Noodle
- Alternative: Purchase individual skins from Item Shop if you only want specific characters
Total investment for all four Gorillaz members: 4,000 V-Bucks (approximately $32 USD).

Why This Pricing Strategy Makes Sense
Epic Games’ dual-release approach maximizes revenue while catering to different player preferences. Festival Pass subscribers get value through progression-based unlocks, while collectors can secure premium characters through direct purchase.
The 2600 V-Bucks price point aligns with other major collaboration bundles, suggesting Epic views Gorillaz as a tier-one partnership worthy of premium pricing.
Release Timeline and Availability
The Gorillaz x Fortnite skins are coming to the battle royale soon, as the cartoon band has been leaked as the game’s next Festival artist.
Festival Season 10 launches August 26, 2025, with the Item Shop bundle likely arriving simultaneously or shortly after. The staggered release keeps players engaged throughout the season while building anticipation.
What This Means for Future Collaborations
The Gorillaz partnership represents Fortnite’s continued expansion into music culture, following successful collaborations with Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Eminem. The pricing structure and split-release strategy could become the template for future major music collaborations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to buy both the Festival Pass and Item Shop bundle to get all Gorillaz skins?
A: Yes, to collect all four Gorillaz band members, you’ll need both purchases. The Festival Season 10 Music Pass (1,400 V-Bucks) includes Murdoc and Russel skins, while the Item Shop bundle (2,600 V-Bucks) contains 2D and Noodle. This totals 4,000 V-Bucks for the complete collection, though you can purchase individual skins separately if you only want specific characters.
Q: Can I buy the 2D and Noodle skins individually instead of the full 2600 V-Bucks bundle?
A: According to the leaks, individual purchases will be available alongside the bundle option. While exact individual pricing hasn’t been confirmed, typically Fortnite sells character outfits for 1,500-2,000 V-Bucks each, making the 2,600 V-Bucks bundle a better value if you want both 2D and Noodle skins plus their additional cosmetic items like Back Blings and Pickaxes.
