Do We Know Anything About Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4?
Rumors Suggest A Marvel Crossover
As always, Epic Games is keeping details of the upcoming Fortnite season under lock and key. This means nothing concrete has been confirmed yet, althoughthere have been plenty of rumors circulating that Chapter 5 Season 4 will have a Marvel theme. This would tie in nicely with the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Deadpool & Wolverine, as well as the newTV series Agatha All Along, which is due out in September 2024.
Longtime players will remember that Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 also had a Marvel theme. That season featured a Battle Pass with popular characters like Storm, Iron Man, Thor, and Mystique appearing as unlockable skins. The map also had several Marvel-themed POIs including Doom’s Domain, as well as superhero-themed weapons like Wolverine’s Claws and She-Hulk’s Fists.
Reliable Fortnite leaker HYPEX recentlyclaimedthat Wolverine’s Claws will be returning inFortniteChapter 5 Season 4, which added further fuel to the fire. Of course, all of this should be taken with a pinch of salt, as they remain rumors until Epic Games officially confirms the theme of the upcoming season.
One thing that has been confirmed is that Fortnite Festival Season 5 will begin on the same day as Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. Expect a new artist to take over from Metallica, with new skins, emotes, cosmetics, and jam tracks to enjoy.
