Further details have not yet been released, although the “Fortnite X Avengers: Endgame” branding on the images is identical to the “Fortnite X Avengers: Infinity War” branding used for an in-game promotion around last year’s Marvel Studios film. That limited-time promotion allowed players to wield the film’s powerful Infinity Gauntlet and become the evil Thanos, proving an advantage in battle.
