Black Cat in Fortnite: Release date speculation and latest news

As a long-time comic book enthusiast and Fortnite aficionado, I must say that the upcoming addition of Black Cat to Fortnite is nothing short of exhilarating! Ever since her debut in The Amazing Spider-Man comics way back in 1979, she’s been one of my favorite Marvel characters.


For Fortnite’s latest Chapter 5 Season 4 update, it has delved into Marvel’s diverse character collection. We’ve witnessed Doctor Doom seizing control over Battle Royale Island and Wolverine making an unusual entrance as a banana. That’s right! But there’s talk that Black Cat is soon joining the game.

In a different phrasing: Black Cat, also recognized as Felicia Hardy, has been both a persistent adversary, loyal ally, and amorous counterpart to Spider-Man for quite some time. Known for her agile burglary skills and acrobatic combat style, she debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man comic series back in 1979.

Given that Fortnite just introduced the Iron Spider suit from Spider-Man, it’s quite possible we can expect another character from his universe to appear soon.

For the full details on Black Cat’s arrival in Fortnite, read on.

When is Black Cat coming to Fortnite? Release date speculation

As a movie enthusiast eagerly awaiting the latest updates on Fortnite, I must share some intriguing news: though Epic Games hasn’t set an official release date for Black Cat’s debut in Fortnite yet, a reliable source known as Hypex (formerly Twitter), who often leaks game insights, hints at her arrival on Friday the 13th of September. Keep your eyes peeled!

There’s chatter that it will be 8pm Eastern Standard Time, equivalent to 1am on Saturday, September 14th here in the United Kingdom.

🎬 As a movie buff here, I’m excited to share that the Black Cat bundle drops this coming Friday night! Here’s what you can expect:

How can you get Black Cat in Fortnite? Rumours so far

Just as the launch date for Black Cat in Fortnite remains undisclosed by Epic Games, so does the technique players must use to acquire her.

But it seems that obtaining Hypex might require you to make a purchase, either separately or as part of a package through the in-game Item Shop, following the update release.

How much will the Black Cat skin cost in Fortnite? Rumoured price

It’s just a rumor for now, but it seems the Black Cat skin might retail for 1,500 V Bucks in the shop. The LEGO variant is said to be included in that price as well.

Additionally, the character you see is available as part of a package deal, priced at 2,300 V Bucks. This package comes with an Unfortunate Claw Pickaxe, the Black Cat Guitar, the Velvet Claws Wrap, and the Cat Bag Backbling. If you’re interested in just the pickaxe and guitar separately, you can get them together for 800 V Bucks.

It’s uncertain when these items will be removed from the game’s store, so it’s wise to purchase them right away to prevent any potential regret or missing out on them.
