Marvel characters are commonplace in Fortnite, with comic book and movie characters from renowned Marvel franchises regularly added to the game. And it seems this trend won’t stop anytime soon since new X-Men are reportedly on their way.

On Aug. 6, several leaks about upcoming Fortnite additions were shared on X, with two renowned leakers, iFireMonkey and Shiina, claiming that X-Men’s Cyclops, Colossus, and Jubilee will be added to the game on Aug. 12.

According to these leaks, each character will be obtainable as a skin in Fortnite. Additionally, they will have custom items, including unique pickaxes that resemble their style. Colossus will reportedly join the game with an iron hammer, while Jubilee will have a sparkling bat. Cyclops, on the other hand, will reportedly get a true pickaxe, which has a yellow and red spike, the colors of the perilous laser that comes out of his eyes.

More importantly, the three leaked skins look almost identical to the characters’ outfits in the X-Men ’97 animated show, with Cyclops in a yellow and blue suit, Colossus in red, leather clothes around his iron armor, and Jubilee styling a yellow coat, short jeans, and pink top alongside pink googles.

Those who aren’t Marvel or X-Men enthusiasts still have a lot of other content to look forward to. According to the leakers, the upcoming update includes a Dragon Ball bundle, fresh Fall Guys quests, and more.

Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus wouldn’t be the first X-Men in Fortnite, with Mutants like Gambit, Rogue, and Wolverine already in the game, and looking at how many Marvel skins there are already, it looks like the collaboration won’t stop anytime soon.
