Thanos’ arrival on the Island marked the first major collaboration between Fortnite and the esteemed comic book company. Soon after, the Avengers also joined as part of a crossover during the release of Endgame in 2019. Finally, the Epic Games title blew everyone’s mind with a season full of collaboration last year during Chapter 2 Season 4. The Nexus War introduced new characters to the game like Wolverine, Galactus, Thor, Dr Doom, and many more.

Since then, Fortnite has also included the other side of the comic book world with DC. With the arrival of Thanos, it seems like Epic Games might have something huge planned. Fans would be quite excited to see some iconic comic book properties partner up for a massive fight. The developers have a lot of villains they can use from both sides, and a big bad of galactic proportions will be perfect for fans to witness the battle of a lifetime.
