Avengers Infinity War Enters Fortnite Tomorrow With Infinity Gauntlet Event

The superhero theme in Fortnite is about to kick off tomorrow with news that Epic and Marvel have joined forces to create an Avengers: Infinity War event.

From tomorrow, the villain Thanos will be dropping into the game with the Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup event for Battle Royale. The new event will start as normal with 100 players dropping into the map but there is the addition of the Infinity Gauntlet. The artifact containing all six Infinity Stones will drop into the map and whoever finds it will transform into Thanos wielding mighty power.

So why this tie-in? Apart from Marvel seeing this a  great marketing opportunity, apparently, Avengers: Infinity War co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo are fans of the game. Speaking to EW, they said they hunted down Epic’s creative director Donald Mustard to make this happen.

Mustard also chipped in on the collaboration adding:

This new event kicks off tomorrow, Tuesday, 8 May.
