Reliable sources suggest Fortnite is soon adding a new Wolverine skin based on his iconic Weapon X appearance. Fortnite boasts numerous crossover skins from popular franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, with recent additions including Captain Jack Sparrow. The Marvel collaboration began in Season 8 with Black Widow and Star-Lord.

Since then, many X-Men characters like Gambit, Rogue, Mystique, and Magneto (in a Wastelander costume) have joined the game. Wolverine, already featured in Chapter 2, Season 4 (2020), has various outfits including his classic comic book looks, movie attire, and the "Wolverine Zero" variant.

Recent leaks indicate Epic is adding Wolverine's Weapon X outfit. Leaker Shiina predicts a July 5th release as part of a five-item cosmetic set, while HYPEX suggests an 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, showcasing Wolverine's Adamantium-enhanced skeleton and feral nature, is a fan favorite, previously featured in games like X-Men Legends and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

While leakers Shiina and HYPEX acknowledge potential date changes, an early July release is anticipated. Further rumors suggest a Chapter 5, Season 4 return of Galactus, though Epic hasn't confirmed either rumor.
