Update (August 9, 2021)
We’ve updated this blog to reflect the correct release date for Gamora in the Item Shop. Gamora releases Saturday, August 14 @ 8PM ET.

Abductions continue and all efforts of staving off the invasion have proven futile. It’s time to call upon the fiercest woman in the galaxy for help... Gamora!

Fortnite Gamora Outfit

As the last remaining Zen-Whoberian, Gamora knows full well the devastating effects of planetary invasions. The former Guardian of the Galaxy member joins the fight to preserve and protect the Fortnite Island from the trespassers.

Gamora will pair up with Star-Lord in the Item Shop on August 14 at 8pm ET. Grab the entire bundle including Gamora’s Cloak Back Bling, Godslayer Pickaxe, and the Godslayer Glideboard.
