Spider-Man is swinging back into Fortnite, and a weapon unvault has been officially announced. However, if the latest leaks from prolific data miner HYPEX turn out to be true, there is something bigger coming up. Chapter 7 Season 3 Runners is shaping up to be one of the finest seasons in recent memory, and it would be even better if Spider-Man could be a major part of it. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day releasing in July, there is a high chance of a collaboration taking place in Fortnite.
Everything We Know About Fortnite x Spider-Man
The Fortnite x Spider-Man collaboration is happening, with Epic Games officially confirming that the Mythic Web-Shooter Gloves are returning to Battle Royale and will also be featured in upcoming Power Hours during Chapter 7 Season 3. The Web Shooters, which were originally introduced several chapters back, were among the most fun items to use in Fortnite. Their return is already generating significant excitement within the game's community.
Through a recent social media post, popular data miner HYPEX confirmed that the return of the Mythic Web Shooters is just the beginning. He stated: "MORE SPIDER-MAN x FORTNITE COMING THIS SEASON, so far we only have confirmation of the Mythic Gloves returning to BR (& for Power Hours), but there's a high chance for a collab with 'Brand New Day' next month." It is important to keep in mind that the phrasing "high chance" rather than a firm confirmation suggests that the collaboration is not yet fully locked in but can be considered a strong likelihood for a next-month release window.
Why the Fortnite x Spider-Man Collaboration Makes Sense
The Fortnite x Spider-Man collaboration timing aligns almost perfectly with the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to hit cinemas on July 31. Epic Games has an established history of coordinating Marvel, and a Spider-Man collab in late July would follow that pattern precisely.
Fortnite x Spider-Man Skins
At the time of writing, any details on skins and cosmetics cannot be known. However, given the Brand New Day branding, you can expect a new Spider-Man outfit, inspired by the design from the upcoming film. Apart from that, there will likely be themed cosmetics such as back blings, pickaxes, and potentially an emote or two tied to the character.
With the Mythic Web Shooters already confirmed and a collaboration in the cards, it will be exciting to see whether the Fortnite x Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration ends up taking place.
