New Marvel Character Skins Unveiled in Fortnite Leak

A well-known Fortnite insider has hinted at the potential arrival of up to four iconic Marvel superheroes making their way to the game’s battleground in the coming month of December. The long-standing relationship between Marvel and Fortnite has resulted in several memorable collaborations, notably back in 2020 with Chapter 2, Season 4, which introduced a battle pass brimming with exclusive Marvel designs. More recently, Fortnite concluded another Marvel-centric season, bringing Chapter 5 to a close. Through these themed seasons, numerous new cosmetics have been introduced via battle passes, allowing characters from Marvel’s universe, be it from films, comics, or shows, to consistently find a spot in Fortnite, particularly via the item shop.

Fortnite has just wrapped up its last season, Chapter 2 Remix, recognizing its history with partnerships involving music giants like Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Eminem, and the late Juice WRLD. The grand finale, held at November’s end, shattered records for simultaneous players on Fortnite. Epic Games followed this event with the launch of Chapter 6, Season 1. The latest updates showcase a Japanese-inspired map and battle pass alongside brand new collaboration characters like Baymax from Big Hero 6 and the legendary Godzilla.

In the world of leaks, renowned source ShiinaBR has revealed via Twitter that more Marvel characters will soon join Fortnite’s ever-expanding roster. Kicking off, players can expect Doom 2099 to land on the island by December 9, as part of another crossover with Marvel Rivals. Players will also have the opportunity to earn a complimentary cosmetic item by participating in Marvel Rivals, which debuts on December 6, 2024. Yet, preceding this event, fans might witness the arrival of three characters from Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse universe, possibly featuring Spider-Punk, Spider-Man Noir, and Peter B. Parker.

Marvel’s unwavering partnership with Fortnite follows a significant financial boost from Disney, who invested a staggering $1.5 billion to secure the game’s future. Recent months have seen Disney favorites like Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jack Sparrow, and Mr. Incredible getting involved in Fortnite’s thrilling escapades. On top of that, speculations fueled by leakers suggest even broader crossovers with celebrated franchises such as Demon Slayer, Cyberpunk 2077, and Cars.

The introduction of a vivid new map has provided players with plenty to explore, while the updated battle pass gifts them with fresh cosmetic items. The inclusion of Godzilla even spurs rumors that King Kong could soon be part of the game.
