Deadpool and Wolverine are coming to Fortnite... again (previous skins locked to Battle Pass) (2024)

Apparently these are cel-shaded but look great

Deadpool looks great, definitely one I want to nab this time.
i wonder if they'll do "cel shaded" versions for all the other battle pass skins (like She Hulk, Spider-man etc). Although the specific ones from Spiderverse might be hard like Gwen.

Honestly...i really don't see why Fortnite doesn't re-release battlepasses. Like if you finish a season's pass, you can activate another one and work on it (paid of course, same price as they were originally), which would allow people who missed it the first time to get it back again.
The only concern are some of the alt variants for completing the pass, and those can stay exclusive to that season so people don't whine about it.

Om down for Wolverine. Already got Deadpool and not sure what the difference here is other than it being cel shaded.

Seems like there are battle-damaged style variants. There's also art with the mask ripped open or an arrow through the head.

(also just an excuse to release a traditional Deadpool again with the original being stuck in a battlepass)

Most I heard was there was the argument of FOMO meaning if you missed out buying it the first time, it's gone for good, so you better get it when you can. And then there's "Value" for having rare cosmetics to show you were playing in that time.

I still feel like that argument makes way less money than "We've bought Deadpool back to the store" would though, and that goes for other Season Pass characters like Darth Vader and such.

Ah so Vader was season pass. That's a bummer. I would have loved to have got him but I guess I wasn't playing back then. The battle/season pass content is always so damn good.

I've been on board the Fortnite train since back when Deadpool was in the Battle Pass so I don't have skin in the game but I have to say Epic is missing out on a license to print money by not offering previous Battle Pass content to new players. If they put Darth Vader/Indiana Jones/Superman in the Item Shop for 1500 V-Bucks each it would sell like hot cakes to newcomers and the old timers would be content in the knowledge that they got them years ago for just 950V.

I would 100% buy every single BP I missed if they did this, it's honestly how BP content should be these days anyway.

No kidding. The only thing I want is Spider-Man in his black costume. Would be willing to pay a lot of V-bucks for it.

Do they have a movie coming out or something?

I'm sure we would have heard something about that by now if they had.

I want Spidey so bad 😭
The Zero suit or whatever the Fortnite original one is called sucks though

I wonder if the suits will always be battle-damaged or if there'll be a "pristine" version of both Wolverine and DP that you can switch to as a style.

Looks like there is a toggle (since these images I think rotate in the shop) Looks like Wolvie can swap the cowl on or off and Deadpool appears to have the mask on, mask off and the arrow through the head.

The battle damaged one is probably to further differentiate between the BP skin.

I like the non cel-shaded battle pass versions so much more. Really not a fan of Fortnite cel-shaded characters.

I really wish they would just bring back some of these older battle pass skins.

Fortnite should just adopt the Halo Infinite model and allow you to buy previous battle passes and complete them at your own leisure. They could even sell the previous BPs at a higher price.

I say this as a founder pack owner with the first five seasons maxed out. Who cares what some terminally online losers think about their bragging rights.

The cellshaded skins look like the designs from the Activision Deadpool game 👀

I want to live in the timeline where Disney/Xbox decide they like money and re-list it 😭

Seems like we're getting a Gwenpool skin too.

If they do, hopefully they fix it. The PS4 version seemed to have a weird issue where it would try and make an online check every 45 seconds and cause the game to very noticeably hiccup.

As someone who has all the BP skins i wouldn't be upset if they brought them back through extra BP rewards or store skins like 12-24 months after and i do think exclusive licensed skins being locked behind the BP is pretty dumb.

I actually like the cel-shaded ones but they could just do a different suit deadpool, doom etc. Just make a updated DP3 skin non-celshaded.
