Fortnite Leak Reveals Upcoming MCU Collaboration

A prominent Fortnite leaker surprises players by revealing that a fresh MCU collaboration could be coming to Epic Games' popular battle royale soon.

A popular Fortnite leaker has revealed that Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing cosmetics could be coming to the game as part of an upcoming collaboration with the MCU film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is scheduled to make its debut in theaters July 25. Fortinete recently released a popular new game mode called Blitz Royale, which offers players a shorter battle royale experience that can be completed in just five minutes.

Chapter 6 Season 3 currently features a major collaboration between James Gunn's DC film Superman and Fortnite. In addition to adding a skin of the iconic hero to the popular battle royale, players can actually become Superman in the middle of a match. Every match has a chance to spawn the Superman mythic item, which transforms a single player into the hero once it's claimed. For a short period of time, gamers can fly around, utilizing both super strength and heat vision to take down their foes Fortnite recently buffed the Superman mythic item , giving players a significant boost to their durability and damage after transforming.

In a recent post on Twitter, the prominent leaker ShiinaBR claimed that the game's most recent update, which launched on July 15, added two encrypted sets of cosmetics to the game's files. While the skins themselves cannot be seen, the leaker claimed that they found direct references to Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and Human Torch in the game's files. It's possible that this could point toward an upcoming , as The Fantastic Four: First Steps is releasing in theaters on July 25.

Some fans were quick to note that the post doesn't mention The Thing, though ShiinaBR said that it's still possible the popular hero could receive a skin along with the rest of the team. Many players have been hoping to see The Fantastic Four come to the game for quite some time, as the popular villain on more than one occasion over the years. As with all leaks, this information should be taken with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made by Epic Games.
