Iron Spider Fortnite Skin: Release Date and First Look

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

Although the Fortnite version does not use Tom Holland's likeness, the skin stays true to the comic book appearance. Those looking to purchase the Iron Spider outfit should mark August 24th as that is the expected release date.

According to the screenshot, the package appears to include a back bling, a wrap, a pickaxe, an integrated emoticon, a guitar, and possibly a glider.

The Iron Spider suit originally came from the Amazing Spider-Man #529 comic book, which was worn by Peter Parker. As in the MCU, Tony Stark provides the suit to Peter Parker to gain support for the Superhero Registration Act. This suit has appeared in various other media, including Spider-Man video games and television shows. It's only fitting that the Iron Spider suit would be included in the growing list of Spider-Man Fortnite skins.

With the Marvel-inspired 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.
