It is anticipated that Epic will grab this opportunity to enter into a collaboration event with Spider-Man and gamers will be able to get the coveted cosmetic from the Item Shop.

Since the movie is releasing in December, it is safe to expect that the cosmetic will arrive somewhere during the second week of the month. Major leaks indicate that Epic and Sony have reached an agreement regarding the collaboration. However, everything is mere speculation and nothing has been confirmed yet.

Gamers are quite excited about the prospect of having the Spider-Man skin in Fortnite. However, it must be noted that there are several issues involved. There has been immense controversy between Marvel and Sony regarding the character and hence, getting hold of the rights will take some time. Therefore, the probability of the collaboration happening right now is very meager and it is likely only to happen when the movie comes out.

I sure hope we get Spiderman this season!#Fortnite #Season14 https://t.co/HQbQb5gVPA

It is quite difficult to assess the possibility without any official Fortnite leaks. Popular data miners are also silent regarding the issue. However, the speculated time of arrival for the Spider-Man skin in Fortnite will fit Epic's plans perfectly.

Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 8 is expected to be unveiled on September 13 and, therefore, the month of December can mark its end. It is yet to be seen whether Epic will be involved in a collaboration with Sony.
