Fortnite joins Marvel character Thor in season 4 update (Source: Fortnite / Twitter)
Amid the controversy and removal from Apple App Store and Google Play Store, Fortnite is set to launch its Chapter 2 Season 4 on August 27th. The new season will feature heavy Marvel content featured in the teaser posted on Twitter with superhero ‘Thor: The God of Thunder’ in its logo.
iOS users will not receive the new season update due to the ongoing dispute between Apple and Epic Games. Fortnite’s direct payment plan, which outlines the rule that Apple App Store and Google Play Store give 30 percent revenue on in-app purchases, remains an unresolved issue. The update will be available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
On the other hand, Android users who have Samsung Galaxy smartphones will get the latest update through Samsung Galaxy Store App. Samsung also announced on Saturday that users “will receive up to 20 percent off V-dollar and real-money offers as part of Fortnite Mega Drop by downloading Epic Games via Galaxy Store.” The discounts included in the ‘Mega Drop’ will be permanent.

The latest update of the Battle Royale game will feature Marvel characters including the Norse God Thor whose 2020 comic strip was used in the logo in the teaser. The emojis used in the teaser were a hammer, lightning and a rainbow. The hammer (Mjolnir) and the lightning are self-explanatory. The use of rainbow means Bifrost, the rainbow bridge that connects Asgard to the rest of the world.
