WhileFortnitedeveloper Epic Games announced the upcoming addition of a Daredevil skin yesterday, little was said about its official release date. Leakers, however, seem to haveFortnitefans covered, providing players with the release date of The Man Without Fear.
Fortnite’s upcoming Daredevil skinlooks as if it was ripped straight from the page, featuring the character’s iconic comic book appearance. With the DD logo on his chest and horns on his head, the defender of Hell’s Kitchen will likely be a big seller for Marvel fans whenever he is available to the public. While the skin can be unlocked early for winners of the new, Marvel-themedFortnitetournament, normal players must wait until the bundle is added to the item shop.

According to reputableFortniteleaker HYPEX, however, players will not be waiting much longer to don their Daredevil costumes. HYPEX, the same leaker that provided information onthe Halloween NPCs coming toFortnite, has revealed that Daredevil will be joiningFortnite’s cast of characters this weekend. Players will be able to dress up as the character starting October 17th, with the hero’s iconic billy clubs equippable in place of a pickaxe.
This information lines up with updates from another leaker that showed Daredevil as one of thefour Halloween skin bundles coming toFortnitein the game’s next update. While Daredevil can certainly be an intimidating character, he is not quite as terrifying as some of the other skins coming toFortnitewithin the next update. With additions like Cursed Gnash, players dressed as The Man Without Fear may be getting a little bit scared of the competition.
As forthe next Marvel character joiningFortnite’s expansive roster, there are a few possibilities that leakers have discussed. Captain Marvel and Ghost Rider both seem like likely additions, with hints in the game’s code that could point to either character (or both) joining the game. Venom also leaked back in September, with even a power set being designed for the character. With both Venom and Ghost Rider fitting well within the Fortnitemares theme that is coming toFortnitesoon, it would not be too surprising to see one of the darker Marvel characters join Daredevil in the coming weeks.
Regardless,Fortniteplayers will be donning Daredevil’s cowl very soon. When the character arrives on October 17th, Marvel fans canenter Tony Stark’s hidden laband every other Marvel location in style.
Fortniteis available now on the Epic Games Store, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are currently in development.
