The highly anticipated Fortnite D23 event did not disappoint, delivering some major reveals that left fans buzzing with excitement. One of the biggest announcements was the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, set to kick off on August 16. This new season will be Marvel-focused and aptly named Absolute Doom, promising a battle pass filled with Marvel skins that will surely delight players.
Among the exciting lineup of Marvel skins revealed in the trailer are fan favorites such as Gwenpool, War Machine, Emma Frost, Shuri, Mysterio, Peelverine, and Captain Jonesy. Additionally, players can look forward to unlocking Doctor Doom as the mid-season reward. Marvel powers featured in the trailer include Shuri’s claws, War Machine’s weapon rig, Iron Man’s energy blasts and flight, Captain America’s Shield, and Doctor Doom’s gauntlets.
In addition to the Marvel-themed content, the D23 presentation showcased a collaboration with creative heads from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel Studios. While the collaborations were described as extensions of franchise storytelling, the focus was on exciting new skins for Fortnite. Classic Disney animated villains like Cruella DeVille, Captain Hook, and Maleficent were teased, hinting at a potential release during Fortnitemares in October. Furthermore, Fortnite will be introducing its first Pixar skins, with an exciting collaboration with The Incredibles on the horizon.
As part of the new season, Fortnite will be making changes to battle pass exclusivity, meaning players won’t have the chance to obtain the old Mandalorian skin and Grogu back bling. However, players can look forward to the addition of skins for IG-11 and Moff Gideon in the item shop on August 12. Additionally, a new Grogu back bling will be available for players who missed out on obtaining the previous one.
The Fortnite D23 event was a whirlwind of exciting reveals, from a Marvel-focused season with a plethora of new skins and powers to creative collaborations with Disney and Pixar. With new content on the horizon, Fortnite fans have plenty to look forward to in the upcoming Chapter 5 Season 4.
