Fortnite has launched a new crossover event themed around the recently released Spider-Man: Brand New Day film, introducing new character skins and bringing back a fan-favorite traversal item. The collaboration adds the Spider-Man: Brand New Day suit, a Hulk skin, and Jon Bernthal's Punisher skin to the game's Item Shop. Players can once again equip Spider-Man's web shooters, an item that allows for rapid traversal around the Fortnite map, offering tactical advantages for flanking and evasion.
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day suit in Fortnite features a removable mask, revealing a likeness of Tom Holland. Details regarding the availability of skins from previous Spider-Man collaborations, such as the No Way Home suits or Zendaya's MJ skin, remain unconfirmed. Item Shop updates typically occur around 8 PM ET, suggesting a similar timeframe for these new additions.
Accompanying the in-game content, a promotional clip for the Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossover showcases Spider-Man engaging an armored tank with the Punisher in pursuit. While largely comprised of existing trailer footage, the video offers a glimpse of the action and web-swinging mechanics.
These new Fortnite cosmetics coincide with the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 skins. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has also received critical reception, with IGN awarding the film a 7/10. The review noted that while the movie revisits familiar themes from prior Spider-Man adaptations, it successfully delivers on its core narrative, highlighting the struggle for balance and the iconic heroics of the web-slinger. Destin Daniel Cretton's direction was praised for effectively focusing on these foundational elements, providing a refreshingly grounded experience for the characters.
