Fortnite leaker Hypex on X (formerly Twitter) says that the Black Cat skin is likely coming to the Item Shop on Friday, September 13th, 2024, at 8 PM EDT — or 1 AM BST on Saturday, September 14th, 2024.

This timing actually matches the usual Item Shop update, making the leak seem more reliable. However, even though it looks like the leak might be true and usually they are, until Epic Games confirms it, the date should be considered speculation.

Black Cat’s arrival in Fortnite adds to the game’s long and ongoing Marvel partnership. This season already brought in characters like Iron Spider and a Sabretooth hybrid. Felicia Hardy’s joining expands the Spider-Man content, possibly teasing more Marvel crossovers ahead.

It’s unclear how long Black Cat will stay in the Item Shop, but since this season is Marvel-themed, it could be around for a bit. However, if you’re excited to get the skin, it’s best to grab it soon after it’s released to avoid missing out.

As with any leaks, it’s smart to take this info with caution since Epic Games could change things last minute. Still, the chance to play as Felicia Hardy in Fortnite is exciting for both Marvel fans and Fortnite players.

Stay tuned for official announcements from Epic Games regarding the Black Cat skin. The Fortnite Item Shop updates daily, so keep an eye out for this sleek new addition to the game’s expansive cosmetic lineup.
