Fortnitefans may be overwhelmed with crossover additions like Master Chief and Kratos, but Epic Games still plans to remind players of the game’s ongoing connection to the Marvel universe. With more leaked superheroes on their way to the battle royale game soon,Fortniteplayers now know how the characters will reach the island.
The next batch ofMarvel skins coming toFortnitewill see players donning the roles of two iconic heroes. Both Black Panther and Captain Marvel will be purchasable soon, with T’Challa and Carol Danvers adopting their original comic book designs as opposed to the looks from the MCU. The three Marvel characters will be fighting through theFortnitemap alongside the supervillain Taskmaster, with the characters arriving to the island via a special portal.

Rather than using Thor’s bifrost to reach the map like the Marvel characters that appeared inFortniteSeason 4, the group will portal in via a special portal on theFortnitemap. Spawning fromthe Zero Point landing spot, which also served as the entryway for a few of the new Season 5 characters, the Marvel portal will show up somewhere on theFortnitemap “soon” according to highly reputableFortniteleaker HYPEX. With previous Fortnite datamining almost always proving to be correct, and the next batch of Marvel skins having already leaked, the addition of this rumored portal certainly seems likely.
The decrypted code detailing the Marvel portal reveals that it will function just like the Salty Towers portal that broughtThe Walking Deadcharacters toFortnite. Players can expect the portal’s addition to accompany the Marvel characters availability in the shop, with the skins likely to become buyable in the next few weeks. LikeDaryl and Michonne’s portalshowing a ravaged world where players can hear the walkers roaming around, gamers can expect some sights and sounds from the Marvel universe when approaching the new portal.
It will be interesting to see if any other portals come toFortnitethroughout Season 5, as it is entirely possible that Marvel’s competitor gets a special location of its own. With aleaked Green Arrow skininbound as well as plenty of DC skins already existing in the game, the rival brand of comics could see some of its heroes and villains entering through a portal as well. Regardless, Marvel fans should be excited to see thatFortniteis continuing to introduce characters from that universe.
For players who preferFortnitefor its gameplay loop as opposed to stylish skins or Marvel map details, giving the game’snew The Spy Within modea try may be worth awhile. Playing like the indie hit Among Us, there are lots of laughs and arguments to be had in the mode.
Fortniteis free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
