The Fortnite x Spider-Man Brand New Day collaboration brings Tom Holland’s wall-crawler and Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher to Battle Royale.
Get ready, Spidey fans, because there’s a new Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration swinging into Fortnite. With Tom Holland’s sensational fourth big-screen adventure hitting cinemas this week, Epic Games has revealed an all-new collaboration that will delight Spidey fans everywhere. Not only are players getting an all-new, up-to-date Spider-Man skin, but Jon Bernthal’s fan-favorite Punisher is also dropping onto the island, ready to dish out his own brand of justice.
Additionally, Spidey’s classic Mythic Web-Shooters are making a welcome return, so our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler can swing across the map to his heart’s content. But don’t take my word for it. Swing down to the reveal trailer below and hear from Spider-Man himself, the legendary Tom Holland.
SPIDER-SENSE!
The new Spider-Man skin has been described as the most comic-book accurate suit to date. In a statement, the team at Epic Games said, “The most comic-accurate suit arrives in the film and Fortnite universes – an homage to all three Spider-Man suits from Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield”
What’s more, just like the fan-favorite outfit released alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home, the new skin includes a built-in emote that lets players remove Spidey’s mask to reveal Tom Holland’s unmistakable likeness underneath. Epic Games has once again nailed Holland’s appearance, making this the most authentic—and arguably the definitive—Spider-Man skin currently available in Fortnite.
ENTER THE PUNISHER
The same impressive attention to detail has been lavished on The Punisher skin, which captures Jon Bernthal’s likeness with remarkable accuracy. Inspired by his appearance in the film, Frank Castle arrives clad in his full tactical armor, complete with the iconic white skull-emblazoned body armor that has become synonymous with Marvel’s relentless vigilante.
REVIEW
We had a blast with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In our glowing FOUR STAR REVIEW, I said, “Destin Daniel Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a web-slinging, wall-crawling blast from start to finish. In fact, it’s the best Spidey film to date. Blending the best components of the animated series and the games, it sticks the landing with incredible action, a well-layered and poignant story, and much-needed emotional beats.
Tom Holland’s performance is nothing short of brilliant. In this outing, he shines, adding depth to his wall-crawling hero and relishing the chance to add new layers to his emotionally tormented, isolated alter ego. Coupled with a scene-stealing performance from Jon Bernthal as The Punisher and some brilliant scenes with Hulk smashing everything in sight, the film is a blast from start to finish.” Read my review here.
RELEASE
What an incredible bundle! Newer players have been eagerly awaiting another chance to suit up as Spider-Man ever since the original outfit was locked behind a Battle Pass. At long last, Epic Games has answered their prayers.
The new Spider-Man skin looks spectacular, perfectly blending the iconic comic-inspired costume with Tom Holland’s unmistakable likeness. It’s the definitive live-action Spidey outfit for Fortnite and one that’s sure to become an instant favorite among Marvel fans. Throw The Punisher into the mix, and players can look forward to a genuinely brilliant set when it arrives in the item shop.
Sadly, Epic Games has yet to confirm an official release date or reveal the bundle’s price. However, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day swinging into cinemas worldwide on Friday, it’s a safe bet that the cosmetics will land in the Item Shop that same evening. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Epic’s announcements, so be sure to check back soon for the full reveal, pricing details, and everything included in the bundle as soon as they’re officially unveiled.
