Fortnite leak reveals release date for Hulk skin in Chapter 4

Fortnite often collaborates with Marvel on skins, and this season appears to be no different. During the Chapter 3 Season 4 live event, the Hulk was seen riding a bicycle through space, hinting at his eventual arrival. When the battle pass debuted, and the skin wasn't there, loopers were left wondering when the green giant would be making his way into the game.

A recent leak from HYPEX, one of the most reliable insiders in the community, has revealed exactly when the Hulk will arrive in Fortnite. It is very uncommon for leaks to have release dates attached to them, but many are confident about the claims made in this one.

Hulk skin reportedly set to arrive in Fortnite this week

According to HYPEX, the new Hulk skin will arrive in Fortnite on December 8, 2022. It will be a part of the Item Shop. There was a lot of speculation about where the skin would show up once players had access to it during Fracture.

Many of the previous Battle Passes have featured Marvel skins, such as:

• Carnage in Chapter 2 Season 8
• Spider-Man in Chapter 3 Season 1
• Doctor Strange in Chapter 3 Season 2
• The Prowler in Chapter 3 Season 2
• Spider-Gwen in Chapter 3 Season 4

It wouldn't have been a surprise to see the Hulk as the top skin available or the secret skin. However, this wasn't the case, thereby relegating the Marvel character to the Item Shop.

The Hulk will likely come with a few cosmetics. When Epic Games has the opportunity to sell a full set and attract more players, it's unlikely it will let it pass.

This could also be an opportunity for Fortnite to introduce a unique skin. Many skins don't have back blings if their character wears capes, so it's possible that the game might emulate it for the Hulk's pickaxe.

The Hulk wouldn't need to use anything to break items or harvest materials. He'd simply smash it. Perhaps the developers could make his fists the pickaxe, which would be a unique way of setting the skin apart from the rest.

The Hulk skin will probably cost 1,500 V-Bucks, while a back bling will set players back by 800 V-Bucks. An emote will undoubtedly be available and will probably be worth 500 V-Bucks. If there's a pickaxe involved, it is expected to cost 800 V-Bucks.

This brings the total to well over 3,000 V-Bucks. However, a bundle for about 2,500 V-Bucks is likely.

Keep an eye on the Item Shop on December 8, 2022, but remember that this leak has not been confirmed.
