Fortnite 'Absolute Doom' Season Launched

Fortnite's Chapter 5, Season 4, titled 'Absolute Doom,' has been released, featuring a Marvel-themed battle pass with new skins including Doctor Doom, War Machine, Gwenpool, and characters from the Fantastic Four and X-Men. The season introduces new locations such as Doomstadt and Castle Doom, heavily based on Doctor Doom's lore, and Marvel-themed weapons like Captain America's shield and Doom's Arcane Gauntlets. This marks Fortnite's second Marvel-themed season, following an earlier one in 2020. Doctor Doom is notably voiced in this season, with leaked voice lines hinting at his ambitious plans for control rather than destruction. Disney's recent $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games is expected to bring more Disney characters into the game, including villains like Cruella de Vil and Captain Hook.
