Iron Spider Fortnite skin: Release date and first look

Initially leaked by SpushFNBR, the Iron Spider Fortnite skin features a unique twist on the character alongside various other cosmetic items. Recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans may recognize the Iron Spider armor from Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

Although the Fortnite version does not utilize Tom Holland’s likeness, the skin remains faithful to the comic book appearance. Those looking to acquire the Iron Spider Outfit should set a reminder for August 24, as this is the expected release date.

Based on the screenshot, the bundle includes a Back Bling, Wrap, Pickaxe, built-in Emoticon, Guitar, and potentially a Glider.

Here is a look at the entire Iron Spider collection with pricing per iFireMonkey:

  • Iron Spider Bundle: 2,600 V-Bucks
  • Iron Spider Outfit with Arachno-Arms Back Bling, Arachno-Jets Glider, and Iron Spider Gauntlets): 2,000 V-Bucks

The Iron Spider suit originated in the Amazing Spider-Man #529 comic book worn by Peter Parker. Like in the MCU, Tony Stark provides the suit to Peter Parker to garner support for the Superhero Registration Act. This suit has appeared in various other forms of media, including Spider-Man video games and TV shows. It’s only fitting for the Iron Spider suit to join the growing list of Spider-Man Fortnite skins.

With the Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4 in full swing, you can expect many more Marvel skins throughout the season. A good place to start is the Battle Pass, where you can unlock several for 950 V-Bucks.
