Marvel X-Men Join Fortnite in Epic Crossover

Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is soon adding a Wolverine skin based on his iconic Weapon X appearance. Fortnite has a history of featuring popular characters from franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, with recent crossovers including Captain Jack Sparrow. The game's Marvel collaborations began in Season 8 with Black Widow and Star-Lord. Since then, numerous X-Men characters like Gambit, Rogue, Mystique, and Magneto have joined the roster. Wolverine himself debuted in Chapter 2, Season 4 (2020) with several outfits already available.

Rumors point to Epic Games adding Wolverine's Weapon X outfit, possibly as early as June 28th to July 2nd, according to leaker HYPEX, or July 5th according to Shiina. This skin is expected to be part of a five-item cosmetic set, although the other items remain undisclosed.

Possible Fortnite Weapon X Wolverine Skin Release Dates:

• HYPEX Rumor: June 28th, 2024 - July 2nd, 2024
• Shiina Rumor: July 5th, 2024

The Weapon X look, representing Wolverine's origins as a government experiment, is highly recognizable from various media adaptations. It's featured as an alternate costume in games like X-Men Legends and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

While these release dates are unconfirmed and subject to change, both leakers anticipate the skin's arrival early next month. Other rumored Marvel crossovers include the potential return of Galactus in Chapter 5, Season 4. However, Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed any of these leaks.
