With Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4's launch date just around the corner, Epic Games has started teasing some of the elements that will be included in Absolute Doom, including certain portions of the upcoming Battle Royale map. Disney and Fortnite have worked together on several occasions, with characters from Marvel and Star Wars making various appearances in-game over the past few years. Earlier this year, Disney invested $1.5 billion in Epic Games, making it likely that these appearances will happen more frequently.
For a while now, rumors implying that the next big Fortnite update would be Marvel-themed have been circling the community, and this became clear during the Fortnite x Disney D23 livestream on August 10. During the livestream, Disney revealed the Chapter 5 Season 4 trailer, which featured tons of Marvel skins. Some of the skins were revamped in order to make them more suitable for the Fortnite Battle Pass, namely Peely in a Wolverine suit. Nevertheless, Fortnite Absolute Doom will focus exclusively on Marvel characters.
