Gwenpool skin returns to Fortnite: Here’s how you can get it

Some popular Marvel-themed Fortnite skins, including Gwenpool, have been made available to buy again. It marks the return of these cosmetics for the first time since late 2024.

Originally, Gwenpool was introduced in Chapter 5 Season 4 as part of the Battle Pass and as an Item Shop purchase. Now, it has been brought back to Fortnite’s in-game store, thanks to the Unvaulted promotion, offering those who missed out on it earlier a second chance.

How to get Gwenpool in Fortnite

Launch Fortnite and go to the shopping cart icon (Shop).
Scroll down to the Unvaulted promo and select the Gwenpool skin.
Next, select and hold the Purchase button to confirm your decision.

It is important to note that Gwenpool is on sale in the Item Shop only till July 5, 2026, 8 PM ET or 5 PM PT. After this, the skin may or may not return to Fortnite in the foreseeable future.

Other Gwenpool Fortnite cosmetics available

Whenever Fortnite adds a new skin, it is almost customary that it also incorporates other cosmetics—such as a pickaxe or a glider—sporting the same theme. In Gwenpool’s case, you not only get the namesake outfit but also other themed items, allowing you to complete the domineering look of Marvel’s time-traveling superhero. The following items are up for grabs in the Item Shop, along with the Gwenpool skin.

Returning Marvel skins in Fortnite

Besides Gwenpool, four other Marvel-themed skins and related cosmetics have found their way back into Fortnite. These shop items are based on popular superheroes and supervillains, namely Wolverine, Captain America, War Machine, and Mysterio.

Similar to the Gwenpool cosmetics, these in-game items will also exit the Item Shop after July 5, 2026. As a result, those who want to bag them have less than a week’s time before these heroes vanish again.

Wrapping up

Marvel is one of the biggest long-term collaborators of Fortnite. From spawning numerous themed cosmetics to coming together for an entire Marvel-oriented season (Chapter 2 Season 4 and Chapter 5 Season 4), these two have previously combined forces to give Fortnite players some of the most spectacular in-game moments.

The re-introduction of Gwenpool and other Chapter 5 Season 4 cosmetics, which first arrived in August 2024, is a nice nostalgic addition to the Item Shop. It should refresh players’ fond memories of that period in Fortnite and allow newcomers to experience at least a small glimpse of that time through the returning outfits.
