Fortnite v34.40 brings new TMNT and Marvel skins

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is coming to an end, with the buildup for the next Star Wars-themed season – likely just around the corner – in full swing at this stage. With the end of the season in sight, today’s update doesn’t come with any major gameplay changes or additions, but there are, of course, new skins, and a teaser for the next season to boot.

Fortnite v34.40 is available now for all players, and its new skins are certainly very interesting. The new update sees the addition of new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles skins, including Casey Jones, Rocksteady, Bebop, and Krang’s Android, which join the Turtles themselves, April O’Neal, Splinter, and Shredder, all of which were added in prior updates.

Two skins from Marvel’s Thunderbolts are also being added in this update, with both the Winter Soldier and the White Widow both being added in v34.40, as previously revealed on the Fortnite blog. Both of these skins are using the cel-shaded art style seen in prior comic book-themed skins like Deadpool and Wolverine from last year, which is a nice look that pays homage to their comic book origins.

There’s also a host of new original skins, too, with an incredible wedding dress skin called The Widow who sports a burned-up dress, two animal-themed operatives in Lapin and Renard, and the big and beefy Vik Vice, who looks like he can pack a serious punch. That’s in addition to the new skin available in the Fortnite Crew pack for May, Kwame, which mixes stylish menswear with modern assault tools and weapons — and it’ll get additional styles for every month you remain subscribed to Fortnite Crew.

Finally, Fortnite v34.40 gives us our first look at Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, which was previously confirmed to be focused on Star Wars. A new loading screen added in v34.40 shows the extent of this, with a new feminine-looking wookiee in a lightsaber duel against a samurai version of Darth Vader. The background is filled with more Star Wars iconography, including ships and more samurai-themed Stormtroopers, so it should be an interesting season.
