It's time to stretch out your spandex because Fortnite could be about to give us a sequel to one of its best seasons ever. Following the Marvel madness of Chapter 2 Season 4's Nexus War, the comic book crossovers are set to flow with another hero-themed Chapter 5 Season 5.
Arguably giving us peak Fortnite, the Chapter 2 Season 4 Battle Pass had everything from Thor to Mystique, with players still lamenting that they never quite finished it. We're expecting a similar deluge of Marvel favourites this time around, but just be careful about what you believe online.
Watch out for the fake Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 leaks
Epic Games' new partnership with Disney means this is likely just the tip of a Marvel iceberg, and after the current season gave us the likes of Magneto, Weapon X, and a Deadpool & Wolverine crossover, Marvel fever has already overtaken the map. There's also the rumoured X-Men '97 collab coming before the season's end.
Fans can get a special Peelverine Back Bling for watching D23 in Fortnite, so we're guessing a full-blown Peelverine skin will be part of the season. Chapter 5 Season 3 is now finishing slightly early, meaning the Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 3 will likely arrive on August 16. In the run-up to release, leaks are everywhere.
Be warned that for every trusted leaker like ShiinaBR, there's TikTok user FancyFortniteFake2698, who's making up leaks for the clout. We've seen this in action with a 'leak' of the Fantastic Four. Marvel's First Family is a likely inclusion thanks to Matt Shakman's live-action reboot coming in 2025, but don't believe the skins currently doing the rounds.
Aside from the photo of Mr. Fantastic looking like it was taken out the window of a moving car, others have pointed out the Invisible Woman skin is Pirates of the Caribbean's Elizabeth Swann in a new outfit. As for Johnny Storm/the Human Torch being referred to as "The Torch" means you don't need a Fortnite expert to tell you these are fake.
These leaks apparently come from YouTuber xApplezz making his own concept of what the trailer could look like. Still, with just a matter of days until Chapter 5 Season 4 officially releases, we imagine the legitimate leaks will soon start flowing forward.
Epic tends to give us an official announcement trailer a couple of days before, although we're still not sure whether there will be an end of season live event. It looks like Doctor Doom will be the poster boy of the season, and while the Fantastic Four go hand in hand with him, the devs will hopefully put in a little more effort than changing Elizabeth Swann's outfit.
