Miles Morales Swings Into Fortnite to Celebrate Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
To celebrate the upcoming release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales will be swinging into Fortnite on May 23.
Epic Games shared a short video announcing the update on Fortnite's official Twitter account. The teaser shows Morales' Spider-Man bursting through a skyscraper and swinging out of sight. Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 then steps forward and peers out of the smashed window.

The two new character skins will arrive in Fortnite with the next update. They will be available to purchase from the in-game item store, giving players a chance to pick them up and swing into action before the hotly anticipated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse arrives in theaters.
Miguel showed up in a post-credits scene for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The latest trailer for the sequel gave us a better look at the character, who appears to have assumed the role of the movie's central antagonist, as hundreds of Spideys join the fight against him.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse releases in theaters on June 2 and will reportedly clock in as the longest animated film ever from a major Hollywood studio. The movie is also looking to "wow" audiences with six major art styles, including one from Spider-Man 2099's Nueva York.
