Fortnite is gearing up for an extended infusion of Disney characters during its next season and beyond, with superheroes and villains galore set to enter the eternal battle royale fray.
The details of the upcoming season, titled Fortnite x Marvel: Absolute Doom, as well as further planned crossover characters were announced during an in-game livestream as part of Disney’s D23 fan club celebrations.
This Friday, August 16, marks the start of the Absolute Doom season (Chapter 5, Season 4). It introduces Marvel characters including War Machine, Emma Frost, Gwenpool, Mysterio, Shuri, and, of course, Dr Doom in its battle pass. Captain America makes a return of sorts, this time as an alternate look for Fortnite lead star Jonesy. Or Captain Jonesy, we should say. Another mashup comes courtesy of Peelverine, a mix of Fortnite’s popular banana character and Wolverine.
There’s plenty more set to arrive further down the Fortnite content pipeline as Epic Games and Disney’s co-operation expands to alternate realms. In fall, a Fortnite x Disney Villains event will see Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, and Captain Hook arrive as the first Disney Animation characters in Fortnite. Pixar showed up too, with chief creative officer Pete Doctor announcing during the stream that Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone will also arrive in Fortnite this fall.
Not to be outdone, Star Wars was next. Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni introduced a small stash of new Fortnite x Star Wars content, including IG-11, Moff Gideon, and a Grogu Back Bling. They arrive in the shop August 12.
The in-game D23 stream will remain viewable inside Fortnite until August 16. If you want to catch the whole show, all you need to do is use the island code: 7908-6413-2516 or search for Disney Horizons Live from D23 in the Discover section.
