Fortnite x Marvel | New Spider-Verse Characters Are Swinging Into Fortnite
Get ready for some web-slinging action in Fortnite. Discover the new Peter B. Parker, Spider-Punk, and Spider-Man Noir skins in the Marvel x Fortnite collaboration.
Get ready, Spider-Man fans, because the all-new Spider-Verse skins have arrived in Fortnite. Just days after the Fortnite Hunters Battle Pass exploded into life, Epic Games has announced that Spider-Man Noir, Peter B. Parker, and Spider-Punk are swinging back into action. The glorious new skins are based on the character’s appearance in Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse and come with cool spider-themed accessories.
Marvel and Epic Games have gone above and beyond to bring these skins to their player base, and the set reflects their efforts. In addition to the skins, the set boasts a series of back bling, pickaxe, and Festival instruments. The customary LEGO variants for use in the Fortnite LEGO maps are rounding out the set.
MY SPIDER SENSE IS TINGLING!
This set is a premium collection, considering the accessories included, and the cost reflects that. However, Fortnite will always split the components to make the set more affordable. Should you wish to buy the whole set, it will set you back an eye-watering 3,800 V-Bucks. Unfortunately, Epic Games continues the frustrating practice of bundling the musical instruments with the set, causing prices to rise. For those of us who don’t play in the Fortnite Festival arena, we’re either buying the set and ending up with an unwanted instrument in our locker or paying extra for just the components. Read on for a breakdown of the cost for each component.
- Spider-Punk: 1,700 V-Bucks
- Spider-Noir Skin: 1,500 V-Bucks.
- Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
- Emote: 500 V-Bucks
RELEASE
Thankfully, this latest release is only the first of many planned for the rest of the year. In addition to new variants of Venom and Deadpool, Disney announced a treasure trove of new characters at this year’s D23 Expo. The first wave has already hit, with The Incredibles and the Disney Villains now available in the item shop. But these are just a few of the planned new characters set to debut.
The future looks promising for a productive partnership between Epic Games and Disney, and long may it continue. But who will join The Spider-Verse heroes on the map next? Will more Spider-Man adversaries arrive to stir up trouble? Will additional X-Men come to unleash their mutant power? Are more Star Wars characters arriving to fight GODZILLA? All will be revealed in the coming weeks.
The Spider-Verse bundle will launch in the item shop on December 6th. The original characters return to the item shop on December 12th. So ready for your web-shooters!
