Fortnite players got a massive surprise when Epic Games announced a Marvel-themed season. This brought some of the finest characters from the MCU to Epic Games’ Battle Royale.

These characters were visible either in the form of skins, their abilities or special emotes. However, getting hold of these characters or their respective emotes is no picnic.

Players need to complete several objectives to claim these rewards. It sometimes takes hours to get the job done, so while the new season has been a highlight, it in no way has been forgiving.

However, the players can’t make use of V-bucks to avail this offer. Once the two-month trial ends, the players can either renew their subscription under set plans or can cancel it.

This also takes the relationship between Fortnite and Marvel to another level, as the players can binge all the MCU movies available on Disney Plus.

Moreover, this raises the expectations of more such collaborations sometime in the future.
