A new Fortnite bundle has seemingly been leaked, revealing skins of iconic X-Men heroes Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus. Fortnite and Marvel Comics have crossed paths many times before, often to promote an upcoming MCU movie or series with new character skins. Recent rumors suggest more Marvel x Fortnite content is on the way in Chapter 5, including the return of Galactus and the addition of Doctor Doom as a character skin.
Previous X-Men Skins in Fortnite
The mutants of the X-Men franchise have received considerable attention from Epic Games over the past few years. Fan-favorite power couple Rogue and Gambit made their Fortnite debuts in 2022. Their legendary arch-nemesis, Magneto, later joined the game with a new Wastelander outfit that has been a hit with players. Last month, Deadpool and Wolverine received new costumes to commemorate their recent big-screen team-up.
The Latest Leak
According to reliable Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, the new image shows Fortnite versions of classic X-Men characters Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus. The image also features a collection of X-Men-themed pickaxes, Back Bling, and other items. All three characters sport looks inspired by their appearances in the X-Men animated show of the 90s and its recent revival series, X-Men ’97.
Fortnite X-Men Leaked Characters
- Cyclops: The leader of the X-Men, known for his optic blast.
- Jubilee: The youthful mutant with explosive energy powers.
- Colossus: The steel-skinned powerhouse of the X-Men.
The X-Men Renaissance
X-Men ’97 marks a continuing renaissance for Marvel’s mutants, who are set to join the MCU at some point. Gaming-wise, X-Men heroes like Wolverine and Storm lent their mutant abilities to Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and the X-Men-centric Marvel vs. Capcom titles are getting a rerelease in Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. Logan will also step into the spotlight in Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine, with recent leaks suggesting Insomniac will use this upcoming game as a springboard for a full-on X-Men title in 2030.
Conclusion
With all this exciting X-Men news, it is no surprise that Epic Games is diving back into the mutant well for new Fortnite skins. Marvel characters like Cyclops have been highly requested by fans, and if ShiinaBR’s latest leak is accurate, some of the most popular figures in the X-Men universe might soon be battling it out in Fortnite.
Stay tuned for official confirmations and updates on new additions to the Fortnite lineup.
