The leak comes directly from Blortzen on X, who posted: "Seems like a new Spider-Man themed Sprite will be added or was worked on as part of the collab.

There are new gameplay tags under 'Sprite Net' which you can use to swing around just like the Spider-Man Web Shooters. There is also a Spider-Man Power Hour coming soon. If the Sprite is still in the works, I expect it to drop on v41.30 (July 30) so it doesn't get added alongside the Batman Sprite.

"The discovery of gameplay tags specifically labelled under "Sprite Net" is the most significant detail in the entire leak.

It suggests that rather than simply adding a Spider-Man cosmetic Sprite like the Batman or Burnt Peanut Sprites, Epic is focusing on a gameplay mechanic tied specifically to this Sprite.

What will Sprite's Spider-Man do in Fortnite?

The leaked Sprite Net tags state that the Spider-Man Sprite will offer players a web-slinging mechanic similar to the original Chapter 3 Spider-Man Web Shooters. Those shooters allowed players to launch webs at buildings, trees, and terrain to slingshot themselves across the map at high speed.They were widely considered one of the most enjoyable mobility items in Fortnite's history, famously crashing the servers when they first went live due to overwhelming demand. If the Sprite Net functions anything like the classic Web Shooters, the Spider-Man Sprite could immediately establish itself as one of the best mobility Sprites in the gameIt will be exciting to see whether or not the leaks regarding the web-swinging mechanic turn out to be true.

When will the Spider-Man Sprite release in Fortnite?

According to Blortzen, the Spider-Man Sprite is expected to drop with the Fortnite v41.30 update on July 30, 2026. The timing is far from a coincidence, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to arrive in cinemas on July 31, 2026, making the day-before update window a classic Epic Games cross-promotional move.Blortzen also specifically noted that Epic appears to be holding the Sprite back from the v41.20 update to avoid releasing it alongside the Batman Sprite, giving Spider-Man his own dedicated moment in the spotlight.

Fortnite Spider-Man Power Hour

Alongside the Sprite itself, Blortzen's leak also confirms that a dedicated Spider-Man Power Hour is in the pipeline, likely arriving the Saturday following the v41.30 update. During the same, there will be boosted Spider-Man Sprite spawn rates, and web-slinging-focused gameplay modifiers would be the headline feature.
