How to Get Customizable Iron Man Skin in Fortnite?

Fortnite fans, get ready! A new, highly customizable Iron Man skin is reportedly dropping soon, adding to the game’s already impressive roster of Marvel cosmetics.

Marvel collaborations have been a staple of Fortnite since its early days, and Iron Man, one of the most iconic superheroes, has always been a fan favorite. He made his Fortnite debut back in Chapter 2, Season 4 as a Battle Pass reward, with additional variations appearing in subsequent seasons.

Now, whispers of a “customizable” Iron Man skin have turned into something more concrete, with details emerging about its potential release date, price, and customization options.

According to reliable leaker HYPEX, this new Iron Man armor is expected to land in the Item Shop on February 13, 2025. The timing suggests we might also see the return of some Valentine’s Day-themed skins around the same time.

What makes this Iron Man skin special? Customization. Unlike previous iterations, this one boasts four distinct styles and color variations, giving players more control over their armored Avenger’s look. Leaker ShiinaBR has even suggested that these styles will be “fully interchangeable,” allowing players to mix and match different parts and colors to create a truly unique Iron Man.

So, how can you get your hands on this customizable Iron Man? It’s expected to be available for purchase in the Item Shop. The skin itself will likely cost 2,000 V-Bucks. For those who want the complete Iron Man experience, a bundle containing the skin, a Back Bling, and a Pickaxe will also be available for 2,500 V-Bucks.

While the bundle offers a slight discount, individual prices have also been leaked: Back Bling at 400 V-Bucks and Pickaxe at 800 V-Bucks. So, if you just want the skin, you can save some V-Bucks.

PGL Reveals Cluj-Napoca 2026 Details, Two 2027 Events, and New Rule

PGL has just dropped some exciting news about their upcoming tournament plans, confirming a return to Cluj-Napoca in 2026 and unveiling two major events slated for early 2027.

Mark your calendars: PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 will unfold from February 9th to 23rd at the BTarena. Sixteen teams, all invited through the VRS system, will battle it out for a hefty $1,250,000 prize pool. Looking ahead to 2027, PGL has scheduled two more top-tier tournaments. The first will run from February 8th to 22nd, and the second from March 16th to 29th.  

Alongside these tournament announcements, PGL has also revealed an important update to their rulebook. A new clause now states that any team accepting an invitation to a PGL event but subsequently failing to attend (without a valid excuse) will be barred from receiving an invitation to the next PGL event they would be eligible for.

This rule seems designed to discourage last-minute withdrawals, a problem PGL has likely encountered before. One recent example is FURIA’s withdrawal from PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 just a week before the event, forcing PGL to bring in Imperial Valkyries as a replacement.

PGL Krakow 2027 Event Faces Venue Cancellation

PGL’s plans for their 2027 Krakow event have hit a snag. The TAURON Arena, initially booked for PGL’s tournament from January 13-25, is no longer available. It appears Krakow itself has stepped in as host and co-organizer of a competing event during the same timeframe.

This development has clearly surprised PGL. They expressed disappointment with the venue’s last-minute cancellation, emphasizing the impact on both themselves and the Counter-Strike community. Despite this setback, PGL remains steadfast in their commitment to holding a CS2 event during those dates (January 13-25, 2027) in Krakow. They’ve immediately begun the search for an alternative venue, one that understands the importance of esports and welcomes its global audience.

Interestingly, PGL had previously announced Krakow as the host city for this very event. They even have a history in the city, having organized the successful PGL Major Krakow back in 2017, where Gambit emerged victorious.

The original plan was to return to the TAURON Arena, a venue capable of seating over 15,000 for sporting events. PGL’s CEO, Silviu Stroie, even highlighted the positive memories from the 2017 Major, expressing excitement about returning to Krakow and building on that legacy.

BGMI Smashes Records in 2024, Powers Krafton’s 35.7% Mobile Revenue Growth

According to a report by Korea Times, Krafton has shattered its previous earnings records, thanks in no small part to the soaring success of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). The Indian gaming community has been at the forefront of this revolution, with BGMI’s record-breaking performance contributing significantly to a 35.7% year-on-year jump in mobile revenue.

Record-Breaking Financials and a Game-Changing Title BGMI

Krafton’s latest financial report reveals staggering figures. The company posted revenue of 2.71 trillion won and an operating profit of 1.18 trillion won in 2024. This shows an impressive year-on-year increase of 41.8% and 54%, respectively. These robust numbers reflect the company’s growth strategy, which has been bolstered by the sustained popularity of its flagship title, PUBG: Battlegrounds. Over the past five years, the franchise has consistently delivered an average annual sales growth of 20%.

Crucially, the mobile sector has been a major growth driver. The mobile version of PUBG, especially the India-centric BGMI, has witnessed record sales that have not only outperformed previous benchmarks but have also reinvigorated Krafton’s mobile revenue stream. The shift to a free-to-play model has proven to be a masterstroke, which made the game accessible for a broad audience.

BGMI Leads Indian Mobile Gaming Industry

For Indian gamers, BGMI is more than just a game. Its record-high sales in 2024 highlight the growing appetite for competitive mobile gaming in India, where esports continues to gain momentum. The game’s free-to-play model, in addition to its alluring gameplay and regular updates, has made it a favorite among millions of players across the country. Notably, this surge in popularity cements India’s position as a critical market in the global esports landscape.

Looking ahead, Krafton is set to push the envelope even further. The company has announced plans to make substantial investments in production and to expand its franchise portfolio, with an ambitious target of reaching 7 trillion won in annual revenue and doubling its corporate value within the next five years. Strategic collaborations with tech giants like Nvidia and OpenAI are already underway, paving the way for innovative features such as co-playable AI characters and next-generation gaming experiences.

LoL 25.S1.4 Early Patch Notes Revealed by Riot

With just over a week remaining till the release of the highly anticipated League of Legends patch 25.S1.4, Riot Games has revealed the early notes for the upcoming LoL update.

The LoL 25.S1.4 patch is set to be a major update that’s expected to bring a bunch of exciting changes to the MOBA. As you might already have expected, tanks and some of their core items are set to receive nerfs, along with a balance adjustment for Mel.

LoL dev Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison has recently shared the early patch notes for LoL 25.S1.4 on his X (formerly Twitter) handle. Without further ado, let’s check out everything you need to know about the next big LoL patch.

LoL 25.4 Early Patch Notes

LoL 25.S1.4 Early Patch Notes Revealed by Riot

Here are the early notes for the LoL patch 25.S1.4, as confirmed by Phroxzon:

Tank Items

  • After an extended period last year of being quite weak and unsatisfying, tank items have found their footing in a strong way, especially for normal play but also in high levels for some of them
  • A lof of tanks in those times were opting into things like Thornmail 2nd item (in particular), which indicated that they don’t really have any good item choices
  • Being able to opt into specialized items like Thornmail 2nd sometimes is OK, but it feels pretty unsatisfying when it’s the option in most games, especially when playing against magic damage compositions
  • Unending Despair was reworked to be this 2nd baseline item to allow players to pivot off this foundation if an option is better (eg. MR heavy vs magic, AR heavy vs phys)
  • From our player surveys, champs like Mundo, Kench, Skarner, K’Sante, etc. who prominently use these items and are high on “perceived strength” will be nerfed.

Boots

  • We’re also doing a small pass to the boot options to ensure they are better balanced; these and the changes above will also systemically help ADC’s do more damage in most games.
  • Steelcaps in particular has been a bit too good at shutting down these types of damage

Attack Speed Cap

  • With the buffs to attack speed cap last patch, Kog has been pretty happy with that – A bit… too happy; so we’re taking him down a peg

Mel

  • For Mel, we are looking at some changes this patch to reduce her frustration, by bringing down her range and reliability slightly, lowering the forgiveness on her W a bit, now that players have had time to learn her, reducing her rank 1 root duration and making her R damage more dependent on having stacks
  • Mel sports a pretty low winrate on her first game in particular, but after players have played a few games, this rapidly increases

Elise

  • Elise is a champion who’s had a dramatic rise in the support role; we’re not looking to swat her out of there too quickly, but her jungle has been slightly weak and we’re looking to distribute a bit of power into that role without removing her from support

LoL 25.4 Release Date

The LoL 25.4 update is scheduled to hit the live servers on Thursday, February 20. Take a look at the expected release times for the update across the different servers below:

  • NA: 3 pm CT 
  • EUW: 5 am GMT
  • EUNE: 3 am CET
  • Korea: 8 am KR

That’s everything we know about the LoL 25.S1.4 patch as of yet.

Note that the full patch notes for the update haven’t been revealed by Riot at the time of writing.

Activision Extends Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP Weekend

Activision Extends Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP Weekend

The Double XP weekend, originally scheduled to conclude on February 10, 2025, has now been extended till February 12, 2025, by the developers for undisclosed reasons. This extension will only affect players of Warzone and Black Ops 6 as now they have 48 hours more to farm up XP.

While reasons were not officially disclosed, it can be speculated that the developers are compensating for the PSN outage that prevented players from PlayStation from enjoying the Double XP weekend. For lack of official reasons, this looks like a compelling one.

Even though the outage only affected PlayStation players, the developers have extended their gratitude which will let players from other platforms get ahead with two extra days of XP farming. Overall, players on PC and Xbox will get to enjoy 48 extra hours of double XP while the PlayStation players will only be compensated for the lost time.

If the weekend was not rewarding enough, two weekdays of grinding will make sure you get the XP you were waiting for. It is not every time you get this opportunity so make sure to farm as much as you can.

Two Characters of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass Leaked

Popular Fortnite data miner Loolo has revealed the two new characters that are supposed to be a part of the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass and fans now have something to look up to for the next season.

“Pickle Peely” and “Flex” NPC may be included in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass, according to the leak. Nothing more has been revealed but given the way EPIC has built hype around the next battle pass, players are likely to enjoy it as much as the previous ones.

Given that Season 8 is scheduled for release later this year, it may even confirm the rumor that Rick and Morty will again be a part of it. Being themed for a “Heist”, Season 8 will have more exciting elements to be revealed later.

The leaks indicated nothing beyond the two leaked characters but more information will come down as the date of release comes closer. Till then hold your horses and keep an eye out for any further leaks.

Marvel Rivals Ditches Mid-Season Rank Reset After Player Backlash

Marvel Rivals developers NetEase have listened to their player base and reversed their decision to implement a mid-season rank reset in Competitive mode. This change comes after significant feedback from players concerned about the impact of frequent resets.

Just hours before the reversal was announced, NetEase released Dev Talk Vol. 10, outlining their initial plan for seasonal rank adjustments. In the talk, they stated that after careful consideration, they believed first-half season ranks were the most accurate reflection of player skill. They indicated an additional rank reset would be implemented to better align with upcoming content and changes.  

This announcement ignited a firestorm of discussion within the Marvel Rivals community. Player concerns reached a peak after the Dev Talk, prompting NetEase to quickly reassess its strategy.

Marvel Rivals Ditches Mid-Season Rank Reset After Player Backlash

In a surprisingly rapid follow-up, Dev Talk Vol. 11, NetEase announced the change of plans. They acknowledged the widespread concern about the pressure of half-season rank resets, which many players felt detracted from their enjoyment of Competitive mode.

While the first half of Season 1 will still conclude on February 21st, and rewards will be distributed as planned (including a Gold rank costume, Crests of Honor for Grandmaster and above, and a special Crest for the top 500), there will be no rank reset when the second half begins. Players will retain their ranks and scores.  

To be eligible for new ranked rewards in the second half, players will need to complete 10 Competitive mode matches and meet the specific criteria by the season’s end. These rewards include a new Gold rank costume and a fresh set of Crests of Honor with unique designs for Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All ranks.
