Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is soon adding a new Wolverine skin, mirroring his iconic Weapon X appearance. Fortnite boasts numerous guest character skins from Marvel and Star Wars, with recent additions like Captain Jack Sparrow. Marvel collaborations began in Season 8, introducing Black Widow and Star-Lord. Since then, many X-Men characters—Gambit, Rogue, Mystique, and Magneto—have joined the game. Wolverine himself debuted in Chapter 2, Season 4 (2020), with several outfits already available.
Rumors point to Epic Games adding Wolverine's infamous Weapon X outfit. Leaker Shiina predicts a July 5th release, part of a five-item cosmetic set. HYPEX suggests an even earlier release, between June 28th and July 2nd.
Possible Fortnite Weapon X Wolverine Skin Release Dates:
- Rumored Window: June 28th - July 2nd, 2024
- Rumored Date: July 5th, 2024
The Weapon X look is significant, referencing Wolverine's origins as a government experiment, resulting in an Adamantium skeleton and primal instincts. This design has appeared in movies, video games (like X-Men Legends and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3).
While Shiina and HYPEX acknowledge potential date changes, both anticipate an early July release. Further rumors hint at a Chapter 5, Season 4 return of Galactus, though Epic hasn't confirmed either rumor.
