Black Cat in Fortnite: Release date speculation and latest news
Just when will Black Cat be sneaking her way into Fortnite?
Fortnite has been mining the depths of Marvel’s eclectic character roster for its latest Chapter 5 Season 4 update. We’ve seen Doctor Doom take over Battle Royale Island and Wolverine appear as a banana. Yes, you read that correctly. But now, rumours are swirling about Black Cat’s imminent arrival in the game.
Black Cat is a longtime foe, friend and even a lover to Spider-Man. Felicia Hardy, as she is otherwise known, is a cat burglar with an acrobatic fighting style and first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man in 1979.
Considering Fortnite included Spider-Man's Iron Spider outfit in the game recently, it’s not surprising that we are getting another character from his universe next.
For the full details on Black Cat’s arrival in Fortnite, read on.

How much will the Black Cat skin cost in Fortnite? Rumoured price
Again, this is only a rumour, but we have been led to believe that the Black Cat skin will cost 1,500 V Bucks in the Item Shop. This price will also include the LEGO variant.
The character can also be bought via a bundle, which costs 2,300 V Bucks. It also includes an Unfortunate Claw Pickaxe, the Black Cat Guitar, the Velvet Claws Wrap and the Cat Bag Backbling. The pickaxe and guitar can be purchased separately in a double pack for 800 V Bucks.
