Epic Games has launched a new Fortnite crossover celebrating the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The collaboration brings back the fan-favorite web shooters as an equippable item alongside a fresh wave of Marvel character skins in the Item Shop.
Quick Facts
- Crossover Theme: Spider-Man: Brand New Day
- Returning Feature: Equippable web shooters for map traversal and combat flanking
- New Item Shop Skins: Brand New Day Spider-Man suit (with a removable mask showing Tom Holland's face), Hulk skin, and Jon Bernthal's Punisher skin
- Platforms: Multi-Platform (PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android)
Web Shooters Return to Fortnite
Players can once again locate Spidey's web shooters across the map as an equippable item. The gear allows players to swing rapidly around the environment, serving as a tactical tool to flank enemy opponents while making it difficult for targets to track movement.
Alongside the gameplay item, Epic's Item Shop is stocking several new character outfits. Players can purchase the Brand New Day Spider-Man suit, which includes a removable mask feature revealing Tom Holland's likeness. The update also introduces a Hulk skin and a skin modeled after Jon Bernthal's portrayal of the Punisher. Epic Games has not yet confirmed an exact release time for the items, though the Item Shop typically refreshes at 8 PM ET. It remains unclear if previous outfits like the No Way Home suits or Zendaya's MJ skin will return to the shop alongside the new additions.
Trailer Footage and Critical Reception
The announcement accompanied an extended sneak peek at Spider-Man: Brand New Day, showing Spider-Man pursuing an armored tank while the Punisher trails behind. The film hits theaters this Friday, following a critical reception that included a 7/10 review from IGN praising its focused depiction of the webslinger's core iconography, alongside performances from a cast that includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Sadie Sink.
