Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, titled Absolute Doom, is set to launch on August 16 and will prominently feature Doctor Doom, who has reportedly killed The Thing and is using him as a throne in Castle Doom. This Marvel-themed season follows Epic Games' long-standing collaboration with the franchise and comes on the heels of Robert Downey Jr. being cast as Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The update will introduce new locations and characters, including iconic Marvel figures such as Shuri and War Machine, alongside various emotes and a Battle Pass available for 950 V-Bucks. Epic has teased an expansive map and gameplay changes, with larger than usual patch sizes expected. Fans are eager to see how the storyline unfolds, particularly concerning the fate of other Fantastic Four members. The season promises to deliver a significant content update for players and Marvel enthusiasts alike.
