However,Fortnitedataminer HYPEX has unearthed a bit more details, discovering a Spider-Man logo in one of the Season 4 achievements. Naturally, speculation began running wild with fans assuming this means the incredibly popular character would be found in the game’s item shop in the coming weeks to aid in the Nexus War battle. Some have also wondered how odd it would be to see Spider-Man holding a gun, though the same could be said for most of theMarvel heroes currently available inFortnite.
More Spider-Man evidence was found by another notableFortniteleaker, Shiina, surrounding the achievement information. In a new Tweet, Shiina mentioned that Spider-Man’s longtime villain Carnage has also been referenced inside of the game’s achievements. If Carnage is added, then that likely means Venom could be on the way as well, as the two symbiote based characters are typically shown at odds with one another.
New heroes this season shouldn’t surprise players as other leakers and dataminers have already uncovered one upcoming addition. Silver Surfer, a one time Herald of Galactus who has since broken free of his control, is getting a new content bundle coming soon to the item store. TheSilver Surfer pack was recently decryptedand not only shows the character as fans would expect him to look from the comics, but also including additional items such as a silver pickaxe, surf board, and more. Unfortunately, a release date is seemingly the only thing that has yet to be discovered for the new content.
