The cinematic for Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 4, which premiered on Sunday, shows a chrome goo spreading across the island, and it looks like it&#8217;s going to take some multiverse shenanigans to set things right. That makes this the ideal season for Spider-Gwen from Into the Spider-Verse to make her Fortnite debut, then.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gwen&#8217;s skin, available with the Season 4 battle pass, looks great, and includes some neat Spider-Verse touches like a back bling comic panel that shimmers back and forth. Sadly Epic didn&#8217;t copy Spider-Verse&#8217;s unique animation style, so Gwen moves around like a standard 3D model without the movie&#8217;s faux-2D touches.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m willing to forgive that, though, because the season also comes with a new character skin, Grriz, that is even better than Spider-Gwen. Grriz is, as far as I can tell, a small bear piloting a larger bear (which is made out of goo) with a game controller. Is Grriz the small bear&#8217;s name, or is Grriz the name that the amalgam of the two bears share as one being? I assume there&#8217;s some lore that explains why Big Grriz is made of goo and why Small Grriz looks so angry to be playing Fortnite, but I don&#8217;t really want to know. Grriz is excellent just as he is.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Epic Games)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the chrome theme seems to be adding some pretty cool gimmicks to Fortnite&#8217;s combat.
