Spider-Man fans slam new DLC as ‘disappointment of the year’

Spider-Manfans aren’t too happy with the latest Spidey-related offering, and after mulling it over myself… I kind of get why they’re upset.

Thank you in advance toLogan Moore over on Comicbookfor the original source!

It was leaked last week that someSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseskins would be coming toFortnitesoon, which naturally made a lot ofMarvelfans pretty hyped.

Earlier today, Twitter user @ShiinaBRfinally posted our first lookat the skins and one of the available options has made a lot of players pretty mad.

The skin in particular that’s upsetting folks is the Peter B. Parker one, but it’s probably not obvious to non-Fortnitefans as to why it’s ticking people off.

The issue mostly lies in people’s expectations for the skin, following the aforementioned leaks.

This skin has never been re-released since, so basically if you didn’t manage to grab it three years ago then, unfortunately, there’s no way for you to actually get it now.

A lot of players were hoping that the Peter B. Parker skin would be something more akin to a standard Spider-Man suit, but instead… what they ended up getting was a maskless Spidey sporting a pink bathrobe.

Now, I think the issue here might lie in some licencing rights.

A lot of the Marvel skins that showed up in previous battle passes have never reappeared in the shop, assumedly because it might require Epic to sort out a new deal withDisneyto do so.

But hey, at least that Spider-Man Noir outfit looks clean.
