Avengers Skins Will Not Be Coming to Fortnite Says Epic Games
By Nicholas Barth ·
One Epic Games employee took to the official subreddit of Fortnite and stated Epic Games' current plan for Avengers based skins in the popular battle royale title.
With the announcement by Epic Games stating that a crossover event between Fortnite Battle Royale and Avengers: Infinity War would be coming to Fortnite tomorrow, May 8th, many fans began to speculate that the community could be expecting to see skins and other cosmetic items based on the Avengers from the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be added to the popular battle royale title. However, it looks as though that Epic Games currently has no plan on having any of these kinds of skins in Fortnite.
Comment from discussion Fortnite x Avengers Megathread.
Epic Games employee JustMooney1 stated on the Fortnite and Avengers: Infinity War thread of the title's subreddit that the studio currently has no plans on having Avengers skins in Fortnite's store. While there looks to be no upcoming Avengers skins coming to the in-game store anytime soon, there is always the possibility that the massive amount of success that the highly anticipated crossover event is expected to have could lead to Epic Games and Marvel deciding to create a set of Avengers: Infinity War inspired skins, pickaxes, back blings, gliders, emotes and other cosmetics in the future.
The "Infinity Gauntlet" limited mode will allow players to have the ability to transform into the Mad Titan Thanos if they are able to find the Infinity Gauntlet that is equipped with all six Infinity Stones hidden on the map. The buzz around the unexpected crossover event for Fortnite is at an all time high considering that it is seeing the two biggest entertainment products in the world joining forces at the height of their popularity. With the power of Thanos at their fingertips, players will be able to make their enemies in Fortnite become part of the massive casualities that Thanos has inflicted with the Infinity Gauntlet on the big screen.
