Fortnite Launches New Avengers Endgame Mode

Thanos isn’t alone this time. Epic Games and Marvel have once again joined forces to create a new mode for Fortnite Battle Royale in celebration of Avengers: Endgame‘s debut in theaters. Following its previous collaboration, Thanos returns to Fortnite but this time alongside his army of Chitauri warriors.

“Endgame Mode” sees players fight against Thanos and his forces as The Avengers team by keeping him from collecting the Infinity Stones and ending the world. Those on the side of Thanos control the Chitauri equipped with laser rifles.
The first player to find an Infinity Stone will transform into Thanos, allowing him to super jump, use beam attacks, and more. If players collect them all, respawning is disabled for the Avengers team. The Avengers players can pick up iconic Avengers weapons like Captain America’s shield and Iron Man’s Repulsors in chests scattered throughout the map. In other entertainment news, Avengers: Endgame has no post-credit scene.

Fortnite is Getting another Avengers Crossover

The Avengers are coming back to Fortnite though in what form, we don’t know just yet. Today, developer Epic teased a crossover event between the two pop culture giants, which will kick off on April 25th, a day before the conclusive Avengers: Endgame hits theaters. Right now, all we can glean about the crossover comes from a single image of a Fortnite character wielding Captain America’s shield along with the tagline “whatever it takes.”

Last year, Marvel brought Thanos to the battle royale game with a limited time mode that let players take on the role of the galaxy-conquering villain. It seems like we’ll see a similar limited time event this time around that’s possibly based around Captain America’s shield. Epic did something along those lines when it introduced the Infinity Blade sword to the game though that crossover did not end so well. Hopefully, we’ll get some nice superhero skins as well  and, if we’re lucky, a Hulk smash emote.


As always, it’s a busy time in Fortnite. In addition to the forthcoming Avengers content, the game’s map is also undergoing changes as a series of strange alien runes steadily make their way across the island. Meanwhile, the competitive community is gearing up for the upcoming World Cup in July, which will include both battle royale and creative competitions.

Marvel's 'Avengers Endgame' Featurette Promises Their Finest Hour

“These are the highest stakes that the Avengers have ever faced.” Marvel Studios has released a new feature for Avengers Endgame called “Stakes,” where Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. promises the film will be their finest hour.

Black Widow’s Scarlett Johansson says that this is the highest stakes that The Avengers have ever had to face. If you pair that with the “Whatever it takes mantra” we’ve heard from several characters within each trailer, you can be sure many of these heroes are going to do something dark. Cap may even have to trade lives, something he’s used to doing but steadfast in preventing others from doing.

Check out the footage above, then take a look at the latest rumors for The Eternals, which may feature Kumail Nanjiani as Ikaris.

See Avengers: Endgame in theaters April 26.
