Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is soon adding a new Wolverine skin based on his iconic Weapon X appearance. Fortnite frequently features guest characters from popular franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, with recent crossovers including Captain Jack Sparrow. Marvel collaborations have been a staple since Season 8, with numerous heroes and villains added, including several X-Men characters like Gambit, Rogue, Mystique, and Magneto. Wolverine himself debuted in Chapter 2, Season 4 (2020) with various outfits already available.
Leaked information points to the addition of Wolverine's infamous Weapon X outfit. Fortnite leaker Shiina predicts a July 5th release, potentially part of a five-item cosmetic set. Another leaker, HYPEX, suggests an even earlier release, between June 28th and July 2nd.
Possible Fortnite Weapon X Wolverine Skin Release Dates:
- Rumored Release Window: June 28, 2024 - July 2, 2024
- Rumored Release Date: July 5, 2024
The Weapon X look is significant, reflecting Wolverine's origins as a government experiment, resulting in an adamantium skeleton and feral instincts. This design has appeared in various movies and games, including X-Men Legends and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
While leakers Shiina and HYPEX believe a release is likely early next month, these dates are unconfirmed and subject to change. Further rumors suggest a potential Chapter 5, Season 4 return of Galactus, though neither this nor the Weapon X skin has been officially confirmed by Epic Games.
