Fortnite's New "Absolute Doom" Marvel Battle Pass Revealed, With War Machine, Dr. Doom

We were promised some major Fortnite reveals at Disney's D23 event on Saturday--what else would warrant a livestream inside the game itself?--and major reveals is exactly what we got. The biggest was that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, which begins August 16, will be a new Marvel-focused season, dubbed Absolute Doom--with a battle pass filled with Marvel skins, such as a new Peely called Peelverine.

What we have here in this trailer is the full battle pass reveal, plus looks at some of the new gameplay goodies we're going to get to play with. The battle pass lineup will consist of Gwenpool (the instant unlock), War Machine, Emma Frost, Shuri, Mysterio, Peelverine and Captain Jonesy as the skins you'll unlock by leveling up, and Doctor Doom will be the mid-season unlock, a la Magneto this season.

We also got a glimpse at the new Marvel powers, which appear to include Shuri's claws, War Machine's weapon rig, Iron Man's energy blasts and flight, Captain America's Shield, and Doctor Doom's gauntlets. It's notable that we saw nothing at all of the Fantastic Four during this.
