Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is about to unleash a new Wolverine skin – his iconic Weapon X attire. Fortnite's history boasts numerous collaborations with popular franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, recently adding Captain Jack Sparrow. The Marvel partnership dates back to Season 8, introducing characters like Black Widow and Star-Lord. Since then, many X-Men have joined the game, including Gambit, Rogue, Mystique, and Magneto's Wastelander costume. Wolverine himself debuted in Chapter 2, Season 4, sporting various outfits: his classic comic book looks, his movie attire, and the "Wolverine Zero" variant.
Recent leaks point towards the addition of Wolverine's infamous Weapon X outfit. Fortnite leaker Shiina predicts a July 5th release, part of a five-item cosmetic bundle. Fellow leaker HYPEX suggests an even earlier arrival, 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, his Adamantium skeleton, and primal instincts. 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 shifts, they anticipate a release early next month. Further rumors suggest a Chapter 5, Season 4 return of Galactus, though Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed either rumor.
