After a litany of banter hitting social media today, Epic Games made things official and announced that Ant-Man is now available to buy in To provideThe iconic Marvel superhero is one of the last characters to be added to Season 5 of the hit Battle Royale shooter, but he might just be one of the coolest.
As usual, Ant-Man isn’t the only thing that has come about Fortnite in this new skin drop. While the character skin for the shrinking superhuman looks great on its own, its accompanying gear is pretty excellent too. Along with buying Ant-Man on his own, Fortnite players can also pick up a new pickaxe which is just an oil on a toothpick. It’s an adorable addition to match Ant-Man’s smaller size. Finally, a new glider has also been added, which of course is just an ant.

As mentioned earlier, Ant-Man is actually going to be one of the last new skins to be added Fortnite here in Season 5. The game’s current Battle Pass ends on March 15, meaning Season 6 is upon us. And while we don’t know what Epic has in store for this new season of content, it will certainly see the addition of many more characters from popular media.
Again, Ant-Man is available to this second in the Fortnite item store. It doesn’t matter if you play on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC or mobile devices, you should be able to spend your own V-Bucks to grab the beloved superhero.
