Fortnite’s next Marvel season features a whole lot of Doctor Doom
Epic Games is officially kicking off Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, titled “Absolute Doom,” by sharing a bunch of details about what you can expect.


As already shown, the Absolute Doom battle pass will feature various heroes and villains you can obtain like War Machine, Gwenpool, and, of course, Doctor Doom himself. (Timely!) But the battle royale island will also have Doom-themed locations you can visit like the town of Doomstadt and Castle Doom, where you can find Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets to use as weapons. Doom’s gauntlets aren’t the only Marvel-themed weapons available, though; you’ll also be able to find Captain America’s shield, which is making a return from an Endgame-themed mode from 2019.
This is actually Fortnite’s second Marvel-themed season; the previous, which launched in August 2020, featured characters like Iron Man, Storm, and another version of Doctor Doom in its battle pass. If you didn’t get the outfits in that battle pass, Epic won’t offer them again, but thankfully, Epic is changing that policy starting with the pass for Absolute Doom.
There are also more Disney crossovers coming to Fortnite, including three Disney villains and characters from The Incredibles. Given that Disney recently invested $1.5 billion into Epic Games, I suspect we’ll see a bunch more Disney cameos on the battle royale island at some point — and there’s a whole Disney-themed universe inside Fortnite on the way as well.
