While it hasn’t been officially announced yet, it’s actually a poorly kept secret at this point Fortnite will soon receive a new pack of Marvel skins in the form of Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Taskmaster. There’s even the possibility that this will be announced later today with some language about the recent Black Panther challenges and emote hinting that there would be a new trailer of some sort tonight. But before that, more cosmetics have leaked from the upcoming package.
Basically, while the skins themselves had previously been leaked, the entire package appears to have been decrypted to reveal different Back Bling and Pickaxe variants. For the most part, these are fairly standard and relate directly to the characters in question. For example, the Black Panther Pickaxe is essentially pulled straight from the movie, and Taskmaster’s two cosmetics are more or less extensions of his existing costume in the form of his sword and shield. You can check out the leaked cosmetics below:
