Rumors continue to swirl regarding another Marvel and Fortnite collaboration in an upcoming season, with a new leak seemingly confirming a brand-new skin for Doctor Doom being part of a future battle pass. Collaborations in Fortnite have become a massive part of the experience, with Epic Games featuring franchises and IPs from all over the media landscape, like video games, movies, TV shows, and even music icons for its Festival component.
One of the more frequent collaborators in Fortnite has been Marvel, featuring tons of its legendary characters as skins and even as a seasonal storyline, while also returning the favor by featuring the popular game in its comics. Even after the world saving even involving Galactus back during Chapter 2 Season 4, numerous rumors seem to indicate that Marvel and Fortnite are collaborating again starting as early as Chapter 5, Season 3. From a marketing perspective, the timing makes sense with Marvel preparing to launch the highly anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine film, though recent leaks have indicated that the season will contain plenty of features and a possible mini-event, as well as a skin for a popular Fantastic Four character.
Rumor: Fortnite Chapter 6 Leak Reveals New Features and Movement Mechanics
A new leak for Fortnite Chapter 6 surfaces, suggesting the introduction of new features and movement mechanics, as well as a potential release date.
The information comes from notable leaker Shiina, who indicates that the eventual Chapter 5, Season 4 battle pass includes a brand-new skin for Doctor Doom. Shiina highlighted a new skin with the codename AnglePatch that was recently discovered by leakers KMPisParror, SpushFNBR, and Wensoing. The unusual codename was linked to an update to the LEGO Fortnite game files that added a green cape to an unreleased skin with the AnglePatch codename. Alongside a recent Fortnite roadmap leak which showed Doctor Doom, the puzzle pieces started to fall into place for an updated Doom skin for the upcoming Marvel season.
More Marvel Potentially Coming to Fortnite in Upcoming Seasons
The potential Doctor Doom skin reveal is just a small piece of the bigger seasonal update if the recent rumors are true. While Doom was heavily featured in previous Fortnite seasons, leakers all seem to agree that another Marvel collaboration could be coming as soon as Season 3 as a mini-event of som sort, not unlike the Wastelander Magneto activity in the current season. While a major crossover collaboration appears likely for Season 4, there has been speculation that the mini-event in Season 3 could feature Deadpool and Wolverine as a movie tie-in, though whatever is happening could be teased in the Season 3 trailer.
As fans continue to wait for official Marvel news, Fortnite's newest collaboration with Pirates of the Caribbean is live now, giving players the opportunity to unlock and purchase skins for characters like Captain Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones, Captain Barbossa, and Elizabeth Swan. During the mini-event, players can earn Cursed Gold and Map Pieces to progress through the Cursed Sails Pass to unlock a free or premium tier of content like emotes, other rewards, and the Jack Sparrow cosmetic skin.
