Fortnite’s latest collab finally gives us the X-Men skin we’ve been asking for

by

As a seasoned Fortnite player with over a thousand victories under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming X-Men skins are a game-changer! Ever since I started playing this battle royale masterpiece, I’ve been yearning for the day when Cyclops would grace our screens. And now, here we are – with not just Cyclops but an entire team of X-Men!

Charles Xavier’s extraordinary students are all geared up to show off their powers once more in Fortnite. Although it’s uncertain if we’ll ever reach the pinnacle of Season 4’s Battle Pass again, Epic Games is eager to give it a shot with another Marvel-themed season.

It seems that Marvel-themed skins continue to be extremely popular in Fortnite, as demonstrated by the success of Weapon X skin, Magneto’s appearance in the Battle Pass, and the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine collaboration. Therefore, it appears that Fortnite is focusing on keeping these iconic mutants in the game.

Fortnite is finally giving us the X-Men skins we’ve been asking for

THE XMEN ARE COMING TO FORTNITE

According to reliable Fortnite source ShiinaBR, it’s rumored that a set of three X-Men character skins, inspired by the classic animated series X-Men and its sequel X-Men ’97, are expected to arrive in the shop approximately August 12. Given this timing, it’s possible these skins will be held back until the anticipated new season’s launch on August 16.

As a long-time fan of the X-Men franchise, I must admit that I am both excited and a bit perplexed by the latest addition to the roster: Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus. I’ve been eagerly awaiting Cyclops for what feels like an eternity, so it’s great to finally see him make an appearance in the game. However, the inclusion of Colossus instead of Beast leaves me a little underwhelmed.

Joining other beloved X-Men characters such as Storm, Wolverine, Jean Grey, Rogue, Gambit, and more, Cyclops, Colossus, and Jubilee will also be part of the team. Characters like Mystique, Magneto, Domino, Cable, and Psylocke are associated with the X-Men, but where’s the Nightcrawler skin? Alongside Beast, it seems we might be missing a key member.

Generally, many concur that Cyclops is an individual worth his weight in gold, with this sentiment expressed to celebrate the valiant leader of the X-Men as he takes the stage for the first time. A thrilled player exclaimed, “Cyclops we’ve triumphed 🔥,” while another added, “Incredible! At my peak.” A third expressed, “I’m tearing up in the club right now… why? 😭😭😭” and a fourth ended their comment with, “Overwhelmed. Can’t wait 🔥.”

Fortnite teases the identity of the Wanderer

Title Wanderer Equals Dr. Doom?

Since the latest Deadpool & Wolverine pack costs 3,600 V-Bucks, it’s reasonable to assume that the X-Men bundle will cost at least as much, if not more. With its upcoming release, Fortnite is gearing up for another Marvel-themed excitement.

According to recent conversations with the Magneto character in the game map, it appears that theories suggesting the enigmatic Wanderer is actually Doctor Doom may hold water. A sneak peek at a 2024 roadmap hinted at Victor von Doom as the star of Chapter 5 Season 4. But the intrigue remains: who else among our familiar heroes might be set to parachute from the Battle Bus?
