Epic Games has just revealed at first glance Fortnite’s the Ant-Man version, although if you don’t look closely enough, there’s a good chance you’ll miss it altogether. The game’s Twitter account shared a teaser indicating another Marvel appearance and hid Ant-Man in the picture for players to find before it arrived. This teasing aligns nicely with the emergence of a new portal and previous references to Ant-Man that suggest it will arrive soon.
The image below may be one that Fortnite players remember the beginning of 2020 when the Deadpool and X-Force skins appeared Fortnite. Domino, Cable and Psylocke look in this order, but there is another character hidden in the picture if you look at Cable’s arms.
Over the seasons, many Marvel heroes and villains have made their way to the island. But I seem to have forgotten one.

Just as many players they pointed out for others who haven’t caught the tease in the X-Force image, this is definitely Ant-Man sitting on Cable’s arm just below the elbow. Of course, it will have a normal size when added to the game, but it is a clever trick that suggests its arrival. It seems to be wearing the classic outfit that people will expect to find out when it is added, but it is difficult to identify the details, given how small its presence in the teaser is.
Although Ant-Man has now made his debut Fortnite the look and tweet, including its resemblance, directly mention the Marvel characters, with players already suspecting that it will be added to the game further. Even before its portal officially appeared in the game, the portal was discovered in the game’s files codenamed “SmallFry”, which immediately evoked thoughts about Ant-Man. The Marvel section of the in-game item store has also recently been updated in an apparent effort to prepare for either the arrival of a new skin or the return of the Marvel skin. Based on the portal and the latest teaser that appears in the game, it looks like it will be the first time Ant-Man is officially added.
It probably won’t be long before Ant-Man officially enters the game from then on Fortnite’s teasers usually follow established patterns and move quickly after they have started. It could be added immediately this weekend, although Epic Games will definitely inform players when it’s available for purchase.
After Ant-Man is added, we still have a lot of skins that we would like to see before the start of season 6 or sometime after that.
