Fortnite may soon be swinging back into the Spider-Verse. According to a new leak from well-known Fortnite insider HYPEX, Epic Games is preparing to bring additional Spider-Man content to the battle royale during the current season.
The leak specifically claims that Spider-Man's iconic Web-Shooters are expected to return to Fortnite. These mobility items were among the most popular Marvel-themed additions ever introduced to the game, allowing players to swing across the island and engage in fast-paced aerial combat.
While the return of Web-Shooters appears to be the only confirmed detail so far, the leak also suggests that Epic Games could be planning a larger collaboration tied to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the upcoming Spider-Man movie scheduled to release later this year.
A potential crossover could introduce new character skins, cosmetics, emotes, and other themed content inspired by the film. Spider-Man has already received multiple appearances in Fortnite over the years, including comic book versions, movie-inspired suits, and skins based on fan-favorite characters from across the Spider-Man universe.
The upcoming movie also features a refreshed Spider-Man suit design that could serve as a perfect addition to Fortnite's ever-growing Marvel collection. Epic Games has frequently used major movie releases as opportunities to introduce new cosmetic bundles and limited-time content.
The possibility of a new Spider-Man collaboration isn't surprising given the strong partnership between Epic Games and Disney. Over the years, Fortnite has become home to numerous Marvel and Star Wars crossovers, often launching alongside major theatrical releases and streaming premieres.
Although Epic Games has not officially confirmed the leak, many fans believe an announcement could arrive closer to the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. If the rumors prove accurate, Fortnite players may soon have another chance to swing into action with one of Marvel's most iconic heroes.
