Fortnite Season 4 is set to release about a week from now on August 27th. We have not yet arrived in the teaser part of the season, but that should start as early as this weekend – provided that Season 3 is not extended.
Fans are obviously envious of what season 4 will bring us. What will the map look like? What will be the theme? Now, Fortnite data miner, Hypex, claims to have a resource that answered the last question. According to the source, Season 4 “might be” a Marvel Comics theme.
On August 19, Hypex tweets that the Season 4 trailer will start with a vulnerable girl in an alley before ‘armed skins’ come to her rescue. The Battle Pass will, presumably, also have a skin of Thor – as previously reported.
As you can see from the tweets, Hypex is hedging a lot. He trusts his source, as he claims, but is not sure enough to speak definitively about the new season. This is very different from the way Tabor Hill handled the exact leaks over Season 3 – although that may have more to do with the reporter than the information as the source.
If you think about it, a season 4 Marvel theme would make a lot of sense. Chapter 1 Season 4 was a theme of superheroes, and that was also the season in which The Visitor first appeared. Could we see some chapter in chapter 2?
What’s more, Hypex tweeted about a potential Wolverine skin as the “secret” skin of season 4. These two, plus one or two more, could be enough for a full theme with some filler Fortnite-only skins.
Many fans get tired of the Fortnite superhero crossovers. The main complaint is that it started to affect the story. If you think about it, though, Chapter 1 Season 4 would have been exactly the same as Epic licensed superheroes could have used. This may be the new-and-improved version of that.
We are on board for this Marvel crossover and do not think it will affect the overall plot of Fortnite. In fact, it could somehow add to the story. If the world is truly a simulation, then anything is possible.
