Epic Games is reportedly developing a new Spider‑Man Sprite for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, echoing the web‑shooters that returned in the opening phase of Chapter 3.
Potential Return of Web‑Shooters
According to an X post by blortzen, the proposed Spider‑Man Sprite would use gameplay tags listed under “Sprite Net,” allowing players to zip across the map and utilize web‑shooting mechanics once again. The Sprite would dovetail with the season’s core mechanic of Sprites and fit among existing additions like the Batman Sprite that has already surfaced.
Timing and Marketing Ties
Epic has yet to confirm the release, but the leak suggests the Sprite will launch with the 41.30 update slated for July 30, 2026. Coinciding with that date’s announcement of Spider‑Man: Brand New Day places the in‑game feature in perfect alignment with the character’s cinematic debut.
Additional Features and Fan Anticipation
The leak also hints at a Spider‑Man Power Hour event analogous to the upcoming Holofoil Hours Sprite event, potentially raising players’ chances of encountering the new Spider‑Man Sprite during matches. As fans approach the release of Spider‑Man: Brand New Day, anticipation mounts for this crossover addition.
