Details of Fortnite’s next season, named Fortnite x Marvel: Absolute Doom, were announced this morning during Disney’s D23 fan event, and livestreamed in Fortnite itself.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige was joined on stage by Star Wars legend Dave Filoni and Pixar head honcho Pete Doctor, who additionally detailed a treasure trove of Disney franchises also set to get crossovers in Fortnite over the coming months, as Epic Games’ integration with the Mouse House deepens.

Two Fortnite favourites with new Marvel looks are also included: Captain Jonesy, who wears a version of Cap’s suit and wields his shield, plus Peelverine, the latest version of Fortnite’s favourite banana, now dressed as Logan.
