There is no shortage of collaborations for Epic Games, with a new leak detailing an upcoming Fortnite x Marvel crossover that will take place in the battle royale game yet again. The latest spotting of this upcoming offer would be in the form of a skin, seeing this in Epic Games' backend code for the game, with the speculation running wild on a renowned Marvel villain.
It is also known that this new leak is connected to a previous rumor of a crossover coming to Fortnite, centering on Marvel's most famous family.
Fortnite x Marvel Crossover Leak: New Skin is Coming
Renowned leaker, ShiinaBR, shared a new leak for the fans and players of the famed battle royale, claiming that another Fortnite x Marvel crossover is coming soon. This was because of a new codename "AnglePatch" appearing on the game's code, and it is believed by the leaker to be another look for the iconic comic villain, Doctor Doom.
It was also shared by Shiina that this specific skin codename was mainly used for Battle Pass skin releases, and thismeans that gamers need to own this pass before they can redeem it.
Other leakers have also corroborated this leak behind Doctor Doom, focusing on his green cape that was initially foundon the LEGO Fortnite experience.
What to Expect from Upcoming Fortnite x Marvel Skin?
This is not Doctor Doom's first time appearing on Fortnite as it previously joined 2020's Nexus War alongside renowned Avengers heroes, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Men characters. A previous speculation for a Fortnite x Fantastic Four crossover was revealed before, but is not happening anytime soon, with Doctor Doom coming to the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass may be the closest there is to it.
