Fortnite‘s latest season has brought an apocalyptic wasteland to the island, introducing new POIs, weapons, and more. But the inclusion of another Marvel skin in the latest update sets the stage for big things on the horizon.

But the Wastelander Magneto Outfit is not available as part of the battle pass. It’s made available in another way. Read on to find out the full details.

The Wasteland Magneto skin was revealed in Fortnite‘s trailer for Chapter Five, season three, but the master of magnetism isn’t yet available in Fortnite. Instead, it will be coming to the game in the near future.

On the Fortnite blog, Epic said the Wastelander Magneto Outfit can be earned from battle pass Quests in July—although no specific date was set. Unfortunately, it means you will have to wait a a while longer.

The Wastelander Magneto Outfit will be available around a month before Chapter Five, season three ends, raising the likelihood of Magneto featuring in a live event that ties into Chapter Five, season four, which the leaked Fortnite roadmap revealed would be another Marvel collaboration.

Magneto’s involvement could also tie into the leaked X-Men ’97 shop tab reported to be coming to Fortnite, and the environment introduced in the latest Fortnite season connects very well to the end of season one in the Disney+ series.

The highly-anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine film also releases in July, so could we see the Merc with a Mouth return to Fortnite? We can only hope.
