Another week, another Fortnite leak. Gwen Stacy (in her superhero form of Spider-Woman/Spider-Gwen) will be heading to the Fortnite island in the next season’s battle pass. The leak has been corroborated by a whole host of reliable Fortnite leakers over on Twitter, including @HypeX, @ShiinaBR, @FNBRIntel and @MidaRadio. Despite her inclusion, the leakers state that the next season will not be an entirely Marvel-themed season.
BREAKING: GWEN WILL BE IN THE SEASON 4 BATTLE PASS!
This information was posted independently by multiple leakers such as @HYPEX, @FNBRintel, and @MidaRado.

Spider-Gwen became a popular character after the release of Sony’s 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Her character is set to return in the upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, which makes Fortnite the perfect place to promote the character. Miles Morales is also speculated to be coming to Fortnite‘s item shop in the same season, but this is unconfirmed. Hopefully with the introduction of Spider-Gwen we will also see the return of the Spider-Man web shooters, instead of the generic grappling gloves being used in the current season. They function mechanically the same, but having the grappling hook be a web completes the look for any Spider-Man character.
Fortnite fans don’t have too long to wait until the next season, which is expected to begin on Sept. 18, a day after the end of the current season. We don’t know how the season will end, but the first leaked promotional photo suggests that the Foundation and the island may be in trouble once again. We can’t wait to find out what role the mysterious Reality Tree will have in all of this.
