Spider-Man is swinging back into Fortnite. Epic Games has confirmed a crossover tied to Spider-Man: Brand New Day through an in-game teaser, and the wall-crawler’s arrival is scheduled to coincide with the next major update during Chapter 7 Season 3.
Quick answer: The Fortnite x Spider-Man: Brand New Day content is expected to go live on July 30, 2026, with the next Fortnite update, one day before the film’s July 31, 2026 global release.
What Epic confirmed in the Spider-Man teaser
The teaser arrived on Fortnite’s official social channels with a short video of The Battlewoods point of interest. In the clip, a Spider-Man mural is painted on the side of a building, and Spidey’s webs are strung across the area. Epic paired the footage with the caption, “These webs look kinda familiar.”
The teaser does not show any of the crossover cosmetics. Instead, it focuses on map changes heading to The Battlewoods, which is being covered in webbing ahead of the collab going live.
Web Shooters returning to the loot pool
The “familiar” webs point to the Spider-Man Web Shooters coming back to the Fortnite loot pool. The nod also recalls the original Spider-Man crossover in Chapter 3 Season 1, when the Daily Bugle sat inside a volcano surrounded by webs.
At that location, players could find and search Spider-Man’s backpack to grab the Web Shooters Mythic. Epic looks set to revive that same pickup mechanic on the current map, this time centered on The Battlewoods rather than the Daily Bugle.
Skins and Sprite leaked so far
Epic has not officially detailed the cosmetics yet. Alongside the expected Spider-Man outfit, several additions have surfaced through leaks, including a plush-style Spider-Man Sprite and Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, a character who has not previously had a Fortnite skin. A new Hulk skin has also been floated as a possibility.
| Content | Status |
|---|---|
| Spider-Man teaser and Battlewoods webbing | Confirmed by Epic |
| Classic red-and-blue Spider-Man skin | Leaked / expected |
| Spider-Man Sprite (web-swinging) | Leaked |
| Jon Bernthal’s Punisher skin | Leaked / expected |
| New Hulk skin | Rumored |
| Web Shooters in loot pool | Strongly hinted |
The leaked Spider-Man Sprite is the most notable piece here. Gameplay tags found in the game’s code indicate the Sprite would let players web swing using Spider-Man’s Web Shooters, which fits the current season’s heavy focus on Sprite collecting. A Spider-Man Power Hour was also referenced as “coming soon,” which would raise the odds of landing the Sprite.
Fortnite Spider-Man collab release date
All of the Brand New Day content is expected to release on July 30, 2026, arriving with the next Fortnite update. That lines up closely with the film itself, which reaches theaters globally on July 31, 2026.
Epic has a long track record of timing Marvel drops to major releases, so the crossover launching the day before the movie follows the studio’s usual pattern. No exact go-live time has been confirmed beyond the update date.
How to confirm the collab once it goes live
The webbing at The Battlewoods and the return of the Web Shooters pickup will be the clearest in-match sign that the update has landed. For the cosmetics, the Item Shop is the place to verify what is actually available.
Until the update arrives, the confirmed details remain the teaser, the Battlewoods map changes, and the July 30, 2026 target window. Specific skin prices, bundle contents, and the precise unlock time have not been detailed, so treat leaked cosmetics as unofficial until they appear in the shop.
