Fortnite fans were treated to some major surprises during Disney’s D23 event, where Epic Games revealed the upcoming Chapter 5, Season 4, titled “Absolute Doom.” This season, launching on August 16, will be Marvel-focused, featuring a brand-new battle pass packed with iconic Marvel skins and exciting gameplay features.
The “Absolute Doom” season promises to immerse players in the Marvel Universe like never before, with a diverse lineup of characters and abilities. The battle pass will allow players to unlock an impressive roster of Marvel skins, including some fan favorites and unexpected surprises.
The instant unlock for the battle pass is Gwenpool, a character known for her quirky humor and meta-awareness. As players progress through the levels, they’ll have the opportunity to unlock skins for War Machine, Emma Frost, Shuri, Mysterio, and a special Peely variant called Peelverine, combining Fortnite’s iconic banana character with Wolverine’s style. Captain Jonesy, a fan-favorite Fortnite character, will also be available as a Marvel-themed skin.
The highlight of the season is the mid-season unlock: Doctor Doom. Much like Magneto in the current season, Doctor Doom will be a powerful character to unlock, offering unique abilities that will add a new dimension to the gameplay.
In addition to the new skins, the “Absolute Doom” season will introduce Marvel-themed gameplay elements. The trailer gave a sneak peek at the new powers that players will be able to wield. These include Shuri’s claws, War Machine’s weapon rig, Iron Man’s energy blasts and flight capabilities, Captain America’s shield, and Doctor Doom’s gauntlets. Each of these abilities will bring unique strategies and playstyles to the game, ensuring that battles are more dynamic and engaging than ever.
But the Marvel content isn’t the only new addition coming to Fortnite this season. Disney also announced that new skins based on Pixar, Star Wars, and classic Disney Animation characters will be joining the game. While details on these skins are still under wraps, players can expect a variety of beloved characters from across the Disney universe to make their Fortnite debut, further expanding the game’s ever-growing roster of crossover content.
Fortnite has become known for its ambitious collaborations with major entertainment franchises, and “Absolute Doom” looks to be one of the most exciting yet. With the combination of Marvel’s iconic characters and Fortnite’s innovative gameplay, this season is set to be a hit with both Fortnite players and Marvel fans alike.
