X-Men’s Weapon X is reportedly making an appearance in Fortnite next month.
In recent years, Epic Games, the developer of the popular battle royale game Fortnite, has become known for its numerous crossovers with various franchises. From Star Wars to Dragon Ball Z, Fortnite has seen a wide range of collaborations. One of the fan-favorite sources of crossover content has been the Marvel Universe, with players enjoying skins of various Marvel characters, including X-Men. A recent leak suggests that a new X-Men-themed skin, featuring the Weapon X version of Wolverine, will be arriving early next month, along with several other items.
The leak originates from ShiinaBR on Twitter, a trusted source for Fortnite leaks within the community. While leaks should be taken with caution as plans can change, this information seems to be gaining traction among leakers, including Hypex, who suggests the Weapon X content will be available in the Fortnite shop from July 2nd to the 5th. Regardless of the exact release dates, fans can expect the Weapon X content in Fortnite in the near future.
Details about the Weapon X skin set have not been fully revealed, but it is expected to include the Wolverine Weapon X skin and five additional items such as emotes and back bling. This will mark the third version of Wolverine to be introduced in Fortnite, following his classic Marvel 616 skin and the Wolverine Zero variant.
Interestingly, previous leaks hinted at a crossover with X-Men ’97 in Fortnite, which was delayed and potentially canceled last month. With the upcoming Weapon X skin, it may be some time before players see Wolverine’s X-Men ’97 skin in the game. Rumors of a Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4 have also surfaced, although Epic Games has not confirmed this information.
Fortnite is currently available on PlayStation, Switch, mobile, Xbox, and PC platforms.
