Theres no word yet on a release for the US or other regions. This could be a popular vacation item, though– especially for Fortnite obsessives who cant play the iOS version on the go anymore.
Fortnite is preinstalled on the Switch, and the bundle consists of 2,000 V-bucks plus some unique cosmetic items. It appears only to have been announced for launch in PAL areas, however– NintendoLife reports an October 30th release date for Europe and 6th November for Australia and New Zealand.
Nintendo is releasing a new Fortnite-themed special edition Switch next month, by means of NintendoLife. The package consists of blue and yellow Joy-Cons– the latter with the Battle Bus etched around the home button– and a dock that features numerous widely known Fortnite skins. The Switch tablet itself also has characters on the back.
