X-Men ’97 Collaboration Enrolls Three Classic Xavier Students To Fortnite; Cyclops, Colossus, And Jubilee
The success of X-Men ’97 on Disney+ has carried over to Fortnite with three fan-favourite mutants joining the fight. Based on their iconic looks from the animated series, Epic Games has expertly brought Cyclops, Colossus, and Jubilee to the island – originally dropping on August 11th, 2024 with several appearances in Item Shop following their release. Marvel Comics have been partners with Epic Games for nearly five years with the collaboration expanding into other media formats including multiple comic book runs – Zero War being the most recent entry in the omniversal Fortnite saga.
