Fortnite has added skins for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Zendaya’s MJ just in time for the theatrical release of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Fortnite is releasing Spider-Man: No Way Home skins for Tom Holland’s web-slinger and Zendaya’s MJ in honour of the upcoming MCU film. With the release of Chapter 3 earlier this month, Spider-Man joined the Fortnite roster, bringing web-swinging gameplay characteristics to the popular online game.
Epic Games’ long-awaited release of Fortnite Chapter 3 brought with it a slew of new features, including a brand-new terrain featuring a variety of biomes and interesting landmarks. In addition to web-swinging, Sliding was added to the mix, allowing players to further experiment with the battle royale’s built-in gaming elements. Fortnite also got a Tent feature, which unlocks camping-related features like weapon storage and healing buffs. The new mechanics each offer their own set of advantages, but the new skins in Fortnite, as always, are the source of much of the anticipation for new content drops.
Winterfest 2021 has begun, and gamers will have received a few Spider-Man: No Way Home skins before the end of the day. The MCU-inspired content will be available in the Item Shop starting at 7:00 p.m. ET today, December 16, just in time for the highly anticipated film’s theatrical debut. Epic Games revealed the next titles on its official website, confirming that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Zendaya’s MJ are on the way. Holland’s “Integrated” No Way Home outfit, as well as the Black and Gold Suit, will be available for Spidey. Even better, each will include a built-in Emote that will allow users to reveal the friendly neighbourhood hero. In the following Winterfest 2021 teaser, see the new Spider-Man and Michael Jackson skins in action:
The upcoming release of these Fortnite cosmetics follows the December 10 release of No Way Home outfits for Marvel‘s Spider-Man. Much to the dismay of PS4 players, the bonus clothes are limited to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on PS5.
This year, Spider-Man is only one of the many comic book characters in Fortnite. On the DC side, characters including Beast Boy, Raven, and Superman were added to the roster earlier this year. In terms of Spider-fellow Man’s Marvel characters, Loki joined the fray a few months ago, and Shang-Chi joined with a cosmetic bundle just in time for the hero’s Marvel Cinematic Universe premiere.
Fortnite is a free-to-play game that can be played on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Android devices.
