There have been a few Fortnite and Marvel crossovers already. Back in 2018, there was a limited-time mode in which you could play as supervillain Thanos if you grabbed the Infinity Gauntlet from somewhere on the map. Last year, to mark the release of Avengers: Endgame, you could wield Avengers weapons against Thanos in another limited-time mode.

More recently, there was a Deadpool crossover and a tie-in with the beta for Marvel’s Avengers. Completing that on PS4 or Xbox One would net you a couple of cosmetic items. With that game scheduled for an early September release, the timing makes sense for a more extensive Marvel crossover, even if it does seem strange for Epic to potentially promote an entirely separate game inside Fortnite. In any case, we’ll surely learn more details about the next season before it starts next week.
