Fortnite’s Hollow Knight Bundle Costs More Than Hollow Knight Itself, and F...

Epic Games has once again sparked debate over Fortnite cosmetic pricing after adding a Hollow Knight-themed bundle to the Item Shop — a bundle that costs more than the actual Hollow Knight game.

The limited-time crossover introduces Hollow Knight content not as a full outfit, but as a sidekick, one of the newer cosmetic types added to Fortnite earlier this year. The bundle also includes a Hallownest Grub back bling and a pickaxe inspired by the Knight’s Nail weapon.

According to the article, the Hollow Knight bundle is listed at 2,000 V-Bucks after a discount from 2,700 V-Bucks. Since V-Bucks cannot be purchased in exact amounts, players who start with none would need to buy a 2,400 V-Bucks pack, which costs £17.49. By comparison, Hollow Knight is available for £12 on Steam and £10 on Switch, while the sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, is priced slightly lower at £16.75.

That pricing gap has frustrated Hollow Knight fans. On the Hollow Knight subreddit, one now-deleted post reportedly described the Fortnite bundle as “the type of greed they talk about in the Bible.” Other players pointed out how V-Bucks pricing can make real-money costs less obvious, especially for younger Fortnite players who may not realize how much they are actually spending.

Epic is also leaning into FOMO (fear of missing out). The bundle is scheduled to leave the Fortnite store on Thursday, October 15, roughly a week after arriving. While Epic may argue that V-Bucks can be earned in-game, the article notes that 2,000 V-Bucks requires significant grinding, and even completing a season battle pass only earns 800 V-Bucks.

For players who still want to grab the Hollow Knight bundle — or any other Fortnite cosmetic — before it disappears, platforms like Z2U.com offer a convenient way to prepare. You can use Z2U.com’s Buy Fortnite V-Bucks service to top up your account, or choose Fortnite Top Up options when you need V-Bucks quickly and securely. Whether you are chasing a limited-time sidekick or saving for a future crossover, having enough V-Bucks ready matters.

Developer Team Cherry has not commented on the pricing issue. It is unclear whether the studio receives royalties from the Fortnite collaboration, though it would have likely received at least a lump sum. Team Cherry is also expected to launch a Silksong DLC expansion titled Sea Of Sorrow at some point this year, featuring new areas, bosses, tools, and more — though fans may want to remain cautious given the studio’s history of delays.

For now, the Hollow Knight Fortnite bundle stands as another example of how crossover cosmetics can cost more than the games they celebrate — and why players are increasingly paying attention to V-Bucks pricing, limited-time offers, and where they choose to Fortnite Top Up or Buy Fortnite V-Bucks through services like Z2U.com.
