The free-to-play battle royale Fortnite today launches Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom. It's another crossover with the Marvel universe.
In this new chapter, you'll see all sorts of familar faces (and some even have a unique spin - like a banana with claws) as you face off against Doctor Doom and co. Here's the official description, along with a look in the trailer above:
Suit up for Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom and become a Marvel legend -

I'm hoping this new season ends up being decent the last few have been a bit stale
Gwendolyn pool my beloved!
Marvel oversaturation bruh
Nice, happy for those still playing Fortnite and interested in this crossover!
the battle pass is... really not for me this time. Rn Im trying to figure out how to emulate andro on PC to make a friggin challenge with cats
Wait, it's on Chapter 5 now? I stopped once the aliens showed up a few years back. I also skipped the initial Marvel season back then too.
"launches Chapter 5 of Season 4"
Asking anyone who actually plays Fortnite, as judging by the comments people seem to just come here to complain about not playing it, does the above quoted sentence fragment read correctly, b/c it seems backwards to me?
Well no not backwards actually, but that "of" shouldn't be there. This isn't "Chapter 5 OF Season 4' it's simply "Chapter 5 Season 4". And if you really wanted to use the "of" then it would be 'Season 4 of Chapter 5".
Going to go get caffeine, maybe it's just me.

This website is still a season behind, which just came out today, so close enough.

@rjejr Yes, you're correct. The terminology used by the game is "Chapter 5 Season 4," so you'd call it "Season 4 of Chapter 5."
yooo i cant wait to start up today!
Got my first win of the season this morning and it's very fun so far! The new Marvel weapons are really cool - especially Cap's Shield and the War Machine arsenal - and I really enjoy the majority of this Battle Pass.
I wish WB would get off their rear ends and do more outside collabs because I do wish we'd kept getting DC characters in addition to the Marvel ones. I like Marvel characters, but variety is the spice of life, y'know?
I played for a couple hours this morning and if you're a fan of Marvel it's fantastic! At one point I was in my Spider-Man skin throwing a Captain America shield at an opponent with a jet pack strapped to my back and War Machines machine guns firing from my shoulder. It was a blast!
Later I fought Mysterio who kept making copies of himself. This is ALOT better than last season so far.
@MH4 Thanks, not just me then. 👍
Having played it for about an hour I'd probably call it "Fortnite Marvel" with no chapter or season and leave it at that. I've never seen a battle pass so thematic. And it's B team Marvel at that. I mean I paid my 950 V-bux and bought it, but then just played as previously unlocked SpiderGwen and Magneto. Disney sure is getting their $1.5B worth that's for sure. 🤑

@MH4 Got back into Fortnite last season since I kinda grew tired of same ol' Apex Legends. Really like the fact that they're not afraid to shake up the meta. Last season it was Nitro Fists all the way, with vehicles being extremely overpowered too. Took a few games to get used to the new gimmicks for this season but it started to click and I seem to be enjoying it. There's more variety in terms of playstyles and speedbuilding in tight end rings is relevant again.
I was actually way less excited for this as I'm not a fan of superheroes. However, after spending time in it with my partner and roommate, this is one of the strongest updates I've seen gameplay-wise.
