Fortnite teases Marvel-themed season, but iPhone and iPad players could miss out
Fortnite’s next season, which commences on August 27th, could be a full-season collaboration with Marvel, as recommended by a teaser released by Epic Games on Friday. However, because of Epic’s open debate with Apple over the iPhone creator’s App Store strategies, Epic as of now can’t refresh Fortnite on iOS. That implies iPhone and iPad players will pass up the new season except if something changes among Epic and Apple before Thursday.
Apple yanked Fortnite from the App Store on August 13th after Epic added a direct payment system into the game, which goes against App Store rules. Epic then sued Apple, released an in-game short parodying one of Apple’s most famous commercials, and began telling iOS players that they wouldn’t be able to play the upcoming season because Apple pulled Fortnite from the store.
A Fortnite and Marvel collaboration wouldn’t be the first between the two powerhouses. In fact, Marvel characters have appeared in Fortnite many times already. Fortnite featured Avengers-themed modes in 2018 and 2019, and numerous Marvel superhero skins have appeared in the game, including Black Widow, Star-Lord, Deadpool, Captain America, and X-Force members Cable, Psylocke, and Domino.
The character shown in Friday’s teaser appears to be Thor in the style of his 2020 comic book series. In the past, Epic has released multiple teasers on social media leading up to a new Fortnite season, so it seems like a safe bet that we’ll see more hints in the days to come for other characters possibly appearing in Epic’s hugely popular battle royale hit.
