Fortnite Introduces X-Men Collaboration: New Skin Revealed

Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is soon adding a new Wolverine skin based on his iconic Weapon X appearance. Fortnite frequently features crossover skins from popular franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, with recent additions including Captain Jack Sparrow. The game's Marvel collaborations began in Season 8 with Black Widow and Star-Lord.

Numerous X-Men characters have already appeared in Fortnite, including Gambit, Rogue, Mystique, and Magneto. Wolverine himself debuted in Chapter 2, Season 4 (2020), boasting several outfits: his classic comic book attire, his movie look, and the "Wolverine Zero" variant.

Leaked information points to the imminent arrival of Wolverine's Weapon X outfit. Fortnite leaker Shiina predicts a July 5th release as part of a five-item cosmetic set. Another leaker, HYPEX, suggests an even earlier release between June 28th and July 2nd.

Potential Fortnite Weapon X Wolverine Skin Release Dates:

• Rumored Window: June 28th, 2024 - July 2nd, 2024
• Rumored Date: July 5th, 2024

The Weapon X design is significant, reflecting Wolverine's origins as a government experiment, resulting in an adamantium skeleton and heightened aggression. This look has appeared in various movies and games, including X-Men Legends and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

While leakers Shiina and HYPEX acknowledge potential date changes, they anticipate the skin's release early next month. Rumors also hint at a possible Chapter 5, Season 4 return of Galactus, though Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed either rumor.
