Last we heard, the Infinite-Verse skins were frozen in a deep chill for lots of four months. With the recent announcement of the imminent return of the Infinite-Verse skins, the Pandora box has been opened from which now comes everything else. The tweet dropped by @TheAgentShadow exploded on the internet, with gamers immediately losing it: Some were happy; others were frustrated. Like, why are they recycling skins instead of giving us new heat? Anyway, Spider-Man fanatics are eating well, so let’s break it down.
The tweet was mercilessly brief: “SPIDER-VERSE RETURNS SOON (After 4 Months).” No fluff. No cryptic hints. Just a bad-ass blunt announcement indicating that Miles Morales and company were bound for a huge return. And then the replies were a chaotic collab of hype, salt, and needy demands for other skins. Classic Fortnite crowd.
One player @Holy_lettuce stated, “If Gwen ain’t in it I don’t want it.” – Ouch. But a fair point. Spider-Gwen was a Battle Pass exclusive, so unless Epic breaks their own rules (which, let’s be real, they have before), she probably won’t be coming back anytime soon. Another user, @Buraisu9009, suggested Mayday Parker’s Spider-Girl as a consolation prize. Not a bad idea, really.
God knows the cries for the other collabs emanated: “@Reiiii_lover2” asked, “What about Naruto?” Instantly pursued by liquescent demands from “@girlarmpist” for “Where’s Arcane?” Not to forget the third one, “@MikuLoverHachun” just about muttering louder and louder as time went on, “Wheres Travis? Wheres Hang Time Bundle? Nobody asked for ts!” The gall of Epic refusing to take note of their oh-so-specific demand, right?
@SplatKirby was mad hot, though. “STOP RERELEASING ALL OF THE SKINS I LIKE YOU’RE MAKING ME SPEND ALL MY FUCKING MONEY ON VBUCKS.” Legit. Epic have mastered the art of dangling limited-time skins before our very eyes, only to whack us for our wallets. And it works every. Single. Time.
Then we have the flexers, obviously. @IAMCOOL______ braggarts with “I HAD IT OG,” to which @ReneRaiderFort said, “Real ones bought on release.” Congrats; you’re cooler than the rest of us. Want a medal?
Then things got really heated. @marvel_dc102 and @NexusYear were in debate about a possible Travis Scott return, with the always diplomatic @JhonX77062600 adding, “We don’t want murderous drug addicts here.” Yikes. Meanwhile, @LagavulinRon threw in, “Since epic loves to recycle why not commit to it!” with a pic of a trash can. Savage.
More positivity from @mellowmeta: “Lets gooooo,” with @ElyziaMusic wistfully adding, “I just want Spider Gwen.” Same, bro. Same.
So what’s the takeaway? The Spider-Verse skins are returning, and Fortnite community is split just like before. Some are hyped, some are salty, some are begging for Naruto. Will they listen? Nah. At least we’re getting more Spidey content. And if history repeats itself, this stuff goes flying off the shelves—because FOMO is powerful.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check my V-Bucks balance. You know, just in case.
