Leaks hint at the Madcap Release Date in Fortnite Chapter 3

Madcap is not a new addition to the game. He was first shown during Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 as an NPC, and players could talk to him and accept his punchcard quests. Now, leaks indicate that Epic is planning to bring Madcap back into Chapter 3 Season 1.

As per prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, the Madcap skin will soon make its way into the game. The leaker further states that Epic will release the Madcap skin later during the current season.

ShiinaBR also states that the developers have updated the outfit to display the text "Introduced in Chapter 3, Season 1" in the game. While the leakers have mentioned no release date, the skin could come out with the mid-season Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 update.

In additional news, Madcap will not come alone. The developers will release a Madcap bundle which, as per HYPEX, is scheduled for release during Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1, most likely this month.

Going by the leaks, the Madcap bundle will include a pickaxe as well as his backbling. However, it's not yet known whether the players will receive the bundle for free or via the Item Shop. If the Madcap bundle comes in the Item Shop, expect it to be priced somewhere around 1200 to 1500 V-Bucks, while the skin could be priced at 1000 V-Bucks.
