Following the success of the crossover betweenFortniteand Marvel during Chapter 2, Epic Games has continued to work with Marvel to add more exciting content to the hit battle royale game. This includesskins like Scarlet Witchand Doctor Strange, with Spider-Man’s web shooters also being in-game items for a time. Speaking of the webhead, the hero recently had yet another skin added to the game.
Unlike theNo Way Homeoutfits or the comic-inspired looks for the wallcrawler, this outfit is a fully original creation. It serves as a tie-in to the newFortniteand Marvel crossover comicZero War, which sees Spidey donning the flashy armored costume. While players were able to unlock the outfit with some codes for purchasing the first issue, and can currently buy it within the item shop, it would be great to see it make another appearance within Spider-Man’s next solo game.

The Potential of a Fortnite and Marvel’s Spider-Man Crossover
Assuming that thesuit lineup inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2focuses on introducing fully new suits instead of bringing back previous ones, theZero Warcostume would make a great replacement for the Spider Armor Mark 3. The two boast similar designs, withFortnite’sZero Warcostume mainly differing in its usage of the color blue and the unique eye pattern on Spidey’s helmet. Most fans would agree that the outfit is aesthetically pleasing, so having another gorgeous suit to swing around with inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2would be fun enough on its own.
However, asMarvel’s Spider-Manfans know, the costumes in Insomniac’s games come with unique suit abilities. These have allowed players tomimic Miles Morales in the originalMarvel’s Spider-Manand wield the Iron Spider legs, and assuming that the next game brings back this mechanic, theZero Warsuit could have a truly unique suit ability. The suit could allow players to build items like inFortnite, and while this building mechanic could be limited to some silly finishing moves, it would be a lot of fun to see the costume’s origins referenced via aFortnite-inspired suit ability.
However, this crossover could work both ways, with the iconic Advanced Suit fromMarvel’s Spider-Manalso ending up inFortnite. Considering thatFortnitehas already crossed over withUncharted,Horizon, andGod of War, it would not be shocking for another PlayStation exclusive franchise to get some representation on The Island. Further, Spider-Man already has so many skins inFortnitethat Insomniac’s Advanced Suit and its white spider symbol would fit right in, serving as one of many stylish options for players to pick from.
Fortnite’s Zero War Suit Could Open The Door To Spidey Skins From Other Games
The collection ofsuits in the originalMarvel’s Spider-Manwas not afraid to pull from all sides of Spider-Man media, with suits from every live action adaptation andSpider-Man: Into The Spider-Versebeing included. With the sequel, it would be nice to see costumes from other video games added to help expand the roster.Fortnite’sZero Warskin could open the door to this concept, with costumes from other games following suit.
Spidey’s unique suit fromMarvel’s Midnight Sunsis a possible costume, with its potential suit ability providing a limited form of turn-based combat.Marvel’s Avengers’ Spider-Man suit could also make an appearance, and its suit ability could poke fun at that game’s slow swinging and traversal. Of all the original looks for Spidey in recent video games, though, theZero Warcostume will likely become the most popular. As such, it should lead the charge, serving as the first of manyMarvel’s Spider-Man 2costumes pulled from other video games.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
