FortniteChapter 2 Season 3 is quickly coming to a close and all eyes are on the transition to Season 4, yet for the first time inFortnite’s history, the end of the season is calm. Where there’s usually preparation for a live in-game event, there’s a surprising lull. And yet,Fortniteplayers know something big is coming. They don’t need to speculate about that, either, because Epic has said so, andFortniteplayers should expect the story to kick into “overdrive” soon.
Perhaps sensing thatFortniteplans were growing nervous about the transition toSeason 4, Epic Worldwide Creative Director Donald Mustard took to Twitter to tantalize fans. “It’s ALL connected. Pay attention. The story is about to kick into overdrive…” Mustard’s tweet toFortnitefans reads, his insinuation being that not only are things about to get exciting, but thatFortnite’s history may play a major role in what’s to come.

Mustard does have a specific idea in mind with his tweet, however, following a more official reveal from Epic regardingFortnite’s upcoming plans. On Friday,Fortniterevealed an official Marvel crossoverof some kind, the only clue being that it’s related to the ongoing Marvel comicThor, in which Thor has been infused with the Power Cosmic by Galactus. Mustard’s tweet appears to hint that this Thor event, which starts on the day Season 4 is scheduled to begin, has deeper implications than first implied.
Then on Saturday morning, following Mustard’s tweet, things started happening. First, a teaser showing Thor in full was released, and following that,another teaser, this time featuring Galactushimself, was shared titled was “Prelude to War.” After that, dataminers discovered even more teasers, this time featuring Jonesey and Raven, twoFortnitecharacters, directly interacting with Thor in a comic strip. A majorFortniteand Marvel superheroes crossover is coming, and this likely isn’t just a skin sale.
The question left forFortniteplayers to discover is just what the scope of the crossover will be, and Mustard’s Twitter post implies something major is coming.Thor and Galactusstarting a war to follow is already a big deal, but the story somehow connecting to pastFortniteor Marvel events would be even bigger.
Epic Games is all but certain to continue releasing teasers forFortniteChapter 2 Season 4 in the days to come, and with less than a week untilSeason 4 launches on August 27, things are going to happen very quickly.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and mobile devices.
