Epic Games has confirmed the arrival of the Fantastic Four in Fortnite, further expanding the list of collaborations between the battle royale and the Marvel universe. The game's official account announced the news on social media, marking the heroes' return to the game, now with full skins and new content. The launch is scheduled for July 25th, the same date as the theatrical release of the film Fantastic Four: First Steps.

In addition to exciting the community with new looks, the crossover will also feature a special tournament that will give players the chance to unlock rewards before the official launch in the in-game store.
Skins bring themed items and custom animations
The team's four classic characters—Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and Thing—will be available with detailed visuals and unique features. Each will receive an exclusive item that enhances their abilities from the comics. For example, Human Torch will feature the "Flame On!" emote, which allows the player to switch to his flaming form, while Invisible Woman will utilize "Psychic Orbs" as a built-in pickaxe.
Mister Fantastic will come equipped with the "Fantastic Fists," a pair of pickaxes inspired by his stretchy arms, and an emote called "Fantastic Calculations." The Thing will have a different visual style and, likely, the famous phrase "It's Clobberin' Time" as an animated feature.
However, these details were revealed after a series of leaks confirmed by Epic itself, reinforcing the solid partnership between the developer and Marvel Studios.
Competitive event will allow early unlocking
To celebrate the collaboration, Fortnite will host the "Fantastic Four Cup" on July 23rd. The event will be competitive and will allow the best teams in each region to unlock the skins before the official debut. Additionally, there will be additional rewards for those who accumulate playtime during the tournament, such as the "It's Clobberin' Time" spray and the "Flame On" emoticon. The tournament date also precedes the release of the new film, creating a synchronized campaign between the game and the cinema.
In recent years, Fortnite has established itself as a showcase for geekdom and pop culture, hosting themed events for major franchises like The Avengers, Star Wars, Dragon Ball, and Naruto. Thus, the arrival of the Fantastic Four was one of the most anticipated, especially after the team's absence in previous seasons, despite the presence of villains like Doctor Doom.
