When Does the Fortnite x Marvel Thunderbolts Collaboration Release?
The complete Thunderbolts set will arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET.

By competing in the Thunderbolts Cup and potentially getting them for free! Scroll down to see how to participate in the cup.
What is Inside the Fortnite x Marvel Thunderbolts Bundle
This Marvel collaboration brings two complete character sets with matching “Pen & Ink” comic book styling:
White Widow Bundle
| Skin and Cosmetics | Icons |
|---|---|
| White Widow (Pen & Ink) Outfit |  |
| White Widow’s Pack Back Bling |  |
| White Widow’s Fangs Pickaxe |  |
| White Widow Wrap |  |
| White Widow’s Mac Emote |  |
Winter Soldier Bundle
| Skin and Cosmetics | Icons |
|---|---|
| Winter Soldier (Pen & Ink) Outfit |  |
| Winter Soldier’s Spare Back Bling |  |

Both outfits capture the comic book essence of these popular Marvel characters rather than their movie appearances. The bold black-and-white styling makes them stand out from previous Marvel skins in the game.
