The Fortnite universe is about to get even more epic with the launch of its latest Marvel-themed season, Absolute Doom. This season promises to be a game-changer, featuring iconic Marvel characters, new locations, and powerful mythic items. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a Marvel enthusiast, there’s a lot to look forward to.
Dr. Doom Takes the Spotlight
As the name suggests, Absolute Doom puts Dr. Doom front and center. Players can unlock this iconic villain as a secret skin later in the season, but the real excitement comes from battling him as a boss at the new Castle Doom location. This new point of interest (POI) in the Northeast is packed with challenges, including Doom bots and the opportunity to wield the newly revamped Doom Gauntlets.
A Battle Pass Packed with Marvel Favorites
The battle pass for this season is loaded with Marvel heroes and villains. Starting with Gwenpool at Tier 1, players can unlock skins like Mysterio, Emma Frost, and War Machine as they progress. But that’s not all – Epic Games has introduced some creative mashups, including Captain Jonesy and Pineapple Peely.
Mythic Items and Superpowers
In true Fortnite fashion, these skins aren’t just for show. Each Marvel character comes with unique mythic items that give players superpowers. Fans of Captain America will be thrilled to see his shield return from 2019, now upgraded to block damage, be thrown at enemies, and used for a powerful shield bash.
Iron Man‘s new mythic item is a standout, allowing players to hover, fly, and unleash a devastating Unibeam attack. Plus, with War Machine’s mythic, players get access to an arsenal of weapons, including a flight pack, automated turret, and missiles – essentially making them a one-man army.
New POIs and Gameplay Features
In addition to Castle Doom, the Fortnite island is getting several new locations. The Raft, Marvel’s maximum-security prison, is replacing the area near Pleasant Park. This heavily guarded POI offers valuable loot and the chance to snag powerful items like the Iron Man Mythic.
Another notable addition is the town of Latveria, ruled by Dr. Doom. Here, players can battle for control and use the insane War Machine Mythic to dominate the battlefield.
Returning Weapons and Features
Longtime Fortnite players will recognize the return of the Scar, a fan-favorite weapon, now with a possible new twist inspired by the Nocturno from Save the World. Also making a comeback are the Dual SMGs, which have been leaked for years but never officially released – until now.
The Future of Fortnite Crossovers
Epic Games isn’t stopping with Marvel. Disney’s Pixar characters are set to join the Fortnite universe later this season, with The Incredibles and Frozone making their debut. And if rumors are true, we could see Lightning McQueen from “Cars” and even Homer Simpson wielding a pump shotgun in future updates.
Disney Villains and Upcoming Events
As we approach Fortnite’s Halloween event, Fortnitemares, expect to see Disney villains like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent join the fray. These characters will likely be central to the event, alongside Marvel zombies, in what promises to be an unforgettable season finale.
Conclusion
Fortnite’s Absolute Doom season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet. With a packed battle pass, new mythic items, and an array of Marvel and Disney characters, players have plenty to look forward to.
