Leak Unveils X-Men Character Debut in Fortnite

Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is poised to introduce a new Wolverine skin, based on his iconic Weapon X appearance. This follows a trend of Fortnite incorporating popular characters from franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, with recent crossovers including Captain Jack Sparrow. Marvel collaborations have been a staple since Season 8, featuring characters like Black Widow and Star-Lord. Wolverine himself has previously appeared in Fortnite, boasting several outfits including his classic comic book look and variations inspired by the Fox X-Men films.

Recent leaks point towards the addition of Wolverine's Weapon X costume, possibly as early as July 5th, according to prominent leaker Shiina. This skin is rumored to be part of a five-item cosmetic bundle, although specifics remain undisclosed. Another leaker, HYPEX, suggests an even earlier release, potentially between June 28th and July 2nd.

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

While leakers Shiina and HYPEX acknowledge the possibility of delays, they anticipate a release early next month. Further rumors suggest a potential return of Galactus in Chapter 5, Season 4, though Epic Games has yet to officially confirm any of these additions.
