A Spider-Man themed Sprite is reportedly in development for Fortnite, potentially introducing a web-slinging mechanic similar to the original Spider-Man Web Shooters from Chapter 3, and a Spider-Man Sprite for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 could reinstate that web-slinging.

Epic Games has not officially confirmed the Spider-Man Sprite, with information coming from leaks and social media posts.

Reports suggest Epic may delay the Spider-Man Sprite’s release to avoid competing with a Batman Sprite and to give Spider-Man a dedicated spotlight window during a DC event.

Past leaks point to a Batman Sprite and a DC Summer event, supporting the idea of spacing out Spider-Man content to maximize attention.

A dedicated Spider-Man Power Hour is expected to accompany the Sprite, likely arriving after the v41.30 update, increasing Spider-Man Sprite spawn rates and introducing web-slinging gameplay modifiers.

The Spider-Man Power Hour is rumored to raise encounter chances during matches, mirroring other Sprite events.

Leak details from data miner Blortzen reference new gameplay tags under “Sprite Net” that imply mobility-focused Spider-Man gameplay rather than a simple cosmetic addition.

The Spider-Man Sprite would launch alongside Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with “Sprite Net” tags suggesting web-shooter-like functionality.

If real, the Sprite is expected to arrive with Fortnite v41.30, around late July 2026, aligning with Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s cross-promotion.

A potential cross-promotion timing places the Sprite rollout close to the cinematic release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
