Everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4

Here's everything we know that is coming to the next Fortnite season:

Season name

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is titled 'Absolute Doom', which was officially revealed at Disney's D23 fan event. It's in reference to Marvel's Doctor Doom, who seems to be a focal character in the new season, along with other Marvel characters.

Marvel skins

With the Marvel collab comes lots of characters in both the battle pass, and store. The characters included on the Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass are:

• Gwenpool
• War Machine
• Peelverine
• Emma Frost
• Captain Jonesy
• Mysterio
• Shuri
• Doctor Doom

Additionally, it's been confirmed that all of the Fantastic Four are coming to Fortnite at some point in Season 4.

It's also possible that we might be getting a 'Deadpeel' skin at some point in the season, as Peely mascots dressed in a Deadpool costume were spotted at D23.

Why not a Fishpool skin, too? As Fortnite have been teasing on their official X account. This may just be a fun creation to tie in with the recent Deapool movie, but we sure hope it's real!

Weapons

The confirmed weapons for Season 4 are:

• Dual Micro SMGs
• Captain America's Shield
• War Machine's Arsenal
• Shuri Mythic
• Iron Man's Repulsor
• Doctor Doom Mythic

Choppas

Spotted in the Chapter 5 Season 4 trailer, it looks like the Choppa vehicles might make a return this season.

Map

Although it's a bit obscured by green smoke, we can see about half of the Chapter 5 Season 4 map thanks to a post on Fortnite's official X account.

Latveria POI

Fortnite's official X account has also teased the new Latveria castle point of interest, which seems to be based on the Latveria land that Doctor Doom rules in the Marvel comics.

That's it for now! Hope you enjoy Chapter 5 Season 4.
