Epic Games has released a teaser for the upcoming Season of Fortnite and announced the release date.
Almost out of nowhere, we are just days away from the start of Fortnite Season 4. We have become accustomed to enormous delays and long seasons drawn out in Chapter 2, but it seems like this time around is different.
In the recent blog post from Epic Games announcing the #FREEFORTNITE Cup, it was the insane prizes and award-winning apple-eating contest that grabbed everyone’s attention, but there was another exciting post.
“Players on iOS devices will be left behind on Chapter 2 – Season 3, while everyone else jumps in Chapter 2 – Season 4 on August 27.”
A new tweet from the official Fortnite account further validates this launch date of August 27, as well as some of the leaks we’ve seen regarding the season 4 theme.

The Fortnite post seems to be the first Season 4 trailer / teaser, confirming a Marvel crossover. It looks like we’ll get a full Superhero-based Battle Pass, with Thor potentially the tier 100 skin.
Popular Fortnite leaker @HYPEX has been predicting this for a while, based on information provided to him by a source in Epic. Hypex has also mentioned that there may be a Marvel-themed POI, a Wolverine skin and comic books that can be collected in the map.
Ok now that my source was correct, here is some more info:
– There will be a Marvel / Thor POI
– There will be a Wolverine skin
– They also had a Peely with small banana claw concept (as with the “Wolverine Banana” meme)
– Pages of comic books will be found and collected on the map– HYPEX (@HYPEX) 21 August 2020
While Marvel fans will be excited to hear about another Fortnite collapse, other gamers are getting tired of these promotions. For those who are not interested, it feels like a step away from the classic Fortnite body.
With less than a week until season 4, we will soon discover whether gimmicks like the Marauders and Sharks will stay in the long run. It will also be interesting to see if the controversial Charge Shotgun remains, and if not, what replaces it.
