Fortniteis around a month into its massive Marvel event, with the game seeing new themes heroes, villains, locations, and challenges added regularly. The Daywalker himself has also arrived withinFortnite, as Blade is now purchasable within the shop.
WhileFortnitefans make memes aboutAvengers: Endgame, the cosmetic designers at Epic Games have been hard at work on a skin for the anti-hero. Blade’s storied comic history of vampire slaying was translated to the screen through the cult-classic movie trilogy in the early 2000s, and with the hero set to get an MCU movie in a few years, now is a great time to add him toFortnite.

The Blade pack also includes back bling for the Daywalker, with the character’s iconic sword being equippable to the slot. The Blade bundle also includes a pickaxe version of the sword, a cool touch that adds to the value of the bundle. Being able to chop down swords and players early on with Blade’s sword is a fun touch, and for players who like to take to the skies, the pack includes a neat-looking glider as well. While the bundle and its contents are not too surprising givenrecent leaks forFortniteand the Blade teaserby Epic themselves, it is still nice to see another Marvel character added to the game.
If theFortniteMarvel leaks continue to prove true, which they are almost certain to do because of their extensiveness and the track record of theFortniteleakers sharing them, Bladewill be joined by Venomin the near future. The beloved Spider-Man villain first leaked for the game a few weeks back, and with more Venom leaks being discovered, it should not be long before he comes to the game. Who comes next is anyone’s guess, as it seems like the entirety of Marvel’s roster is showing up withinFortnite.
Given Venom’s upcoming appearance,Spider-Man could show up inFortnitesoon. Beyond the webslinger, the next most likely areas to look would be the unfinished rosters of certain Marvel properties. The entirety of the Fantastic Four could join the game alongside Doctor Doom, while Gamora and Drax could join Star-Lord and Groot as playable heroes. More X-Men could always come to the game as well, with Jean Grey and Cyclops likely being near the top of player wish lists.
Regardless of which skins come to the game, though, Blade fans should be happy to see the Daywalker arrive withinFortnite. After all,bot-only matches inFortnitecould prove a bit more fun when playing as a badass vampire slayer.
Fortniteis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with next-gen availability planned for launch.
