Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Leaks Hint at Epic Marvel Crossover Featuring Doctor Doom and More!

Fortnite has experienced a rollercoaster year. Starting in December, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 kicked off with a fresh map, engaging new gameplay mechanics, and exciting Battle Pass crossover skins, keeping players hooked until March 2024. However, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 didn't receive the same level of praise, as fans criticized the lackluster points of interest (POIs). The current season isn't doing much better, with Epic Games' controversial decision to buff cars, encouraging a more chaotic playstyle.

As Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 comes to an end, anticipation is building for the launch of Chapter 5 Season 4 on August 16, 2024. Although official information is scarce, significant leaks suggest exciting news for Marvel fans.

What Fans Might See in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Could Feature a Marvel Theme

In April, well-known Fortnite leaker Loolo shared a surprising revelation on Twitter, posting a blurry screenshot allegedly showing Fortnite's 2024 roadmap. Initially met with skepticism, many events from the leaked roadmap have since been confirmed, boosting its credibility. According to the roadmap, the first two seasons of 2024 would focus on Greek mythology and an apocalypse, and would feature collaborations with Avatar: The Last Airbender, Metallica, and Pirates of the Caribbean in that order.

If these leaks prove accurate, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is set to feature another major Marvel crossover, with Doctor Doom prominently displayed in the leaked artwork. Marvel has been a recurring theme in Fortnite, but it has only been the focus of one previous season back in Chapter 2 Season 4, in August 2020.

With the recent release of Deadpool and Wolverine content and excitement from SDCC, the timing is perfect for a Marvel-themed season in Fortnite. Doctor Doom is expected to play a significant role. While no official details have been released, fans can likely look forward to a new Battle Pass filled with Marvel skins, possibly introducing The Fantastic Four and a new Doctor Doom skin. The Fortnite map might also receive a Marvel-themed update, with new POIs added to the Battle Royale.

LEGO Fortnite Might Join the Marvel Craze

If the next Fortnite season is Marvel-themed, it's plausible that the LEGO mode will also feature Marvel-themed content. The most anticipated addition would be LEGO minifigure variant skins based on new Marvel characters introduced in Chapter 5 Season 4's Battle Pass. Dataminers have already discovered a Gwenpool LEGO skin.

Fortnitemares Returns in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4

According to the leaked roadmap, Chapter 5 Season 4 will span from August to mid-October. As the season nears its end, players can look forward to the return of the annual Fortnitemares event, coinciding with Halloween. Although official details about this year's event are not yet available, rumors suggest that Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees could appear as a crossover skin.
