Epic is keeping the Marvel theme of Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 4 going strong by announcing the Marvel Knockout Super Series today, a new tournament that will play out over four different cups. Not only that, but once the cups are over, Epic says there will be a final tournament with a $1,000,000 prize pool.
Marvel's Wolverine was the latest superhero addition in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 2 - Season 4. The character's anticipated arrival is a welcome one, but not without any issues. Epic has confirmed the existence of a bug previously reported by players, one that involves the player's inventory and the Wolverine character's built-in emote. Put simply, using the emote will delete your inventory.
Next-gen consoles always boast of more powerful hardware capable of driving higher-fidelity graphics. More often than not, launch titles try to flaunt those capabilities with new visual effects that would not have been possible on older consoles. Although not exactly a launch title, Spider-Man: Remaster is one prime example of that demonstration but Sony did more than up the graphics ante. It also changed Peter Parker himself.
As if it needed even more negative attention, Sony's PlayStation 5 might end up ruffling the feathers of a certain intersection of PS5 owners and Spider-Man's fans. Marvel's Spider-Man for the PS4 has garnered mostly positive reviews and fans are looking forward to the Spider-Man: Miles Morales launch for both PlayStation generations. While it will, of course, be possible to play the PS4 versions of these two games on the PS5, gamers might have to pay extra depending on what they're buying or have already bought.
We're still in the middle of Fortnite's big Chapter 2 - Season 4 Marvel crossover, one that has resulted in a steady drop of new items, map changes, and superheroes. It's unlikely that we've seen everything this season has to offer, and now we (probably) know what to expect. Marvel and Epic Games have both spent the past few days heavily indicating that a familiar vampire hunter will be arriving in the battle royale game soon.
Marvel's "Black Widow" release date has been pushed back again, one of a number of delays that force much-anticipated movies into 2021. The news, confirmed by the Walt Disney Company today, affects at least three titles from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and means that 2000 will run through without a single new theatrical release from the franchise.
Marvel Comics has introduced several horror-themed variant covers for some of its classic horror-genre comic books. In its announcement, Marvel said that it will be releasing these variant covers for a total of eight classic horror comic books, including ones set in the Spider-Man, Captain America, and X-Men universes. The artwork comes from a number of artists, including Russell Dauterman, Mike del Mundo, Javier Rodriguez, and more.
A new gameplay trailer was released today for the PlayStation 5 game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This game will be ready to roll for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (complete with an upgrade path from one to the other). Then there's the Ultimate Edition, that'll cost $20 more, that includes a remaster of the last Spider-Man game, too.
Amazon-owned comic book platform Coximology has surprised readers by quietly making all of its Black Panther titles available for free. It's unclear when the change arrived and how long it will last -- it doesn't appear that Coximology has advertised the new discount. The change recently came to public attention on social media, where multiple users reported seeing the new price tag.
It's an eerie world we live in, almost like something straight out of a comic book plot. The world today is almost completely different world last year when Marvel's properties were at their peak. That is the world that Marvel's Avengers, the first major standalone game to launch independent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is launching in and its success or downfall will also probably be like a comic book tale.
Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 4 has arrived, as just as the teasers suggested, the theme this time centered around is Marvel superheroes. Marvel is no stranger to its Fortnite team-ups, but this time the crossover goes quite a bit deeper. Not only will we see Marvel locations in-game, but players will also be able to unlock a variety of Marvel outfits through Season 4's battle pass.
Fortnite has been part of a ton of crossovers ever since it rocketed to popularity a couple of years ago, and one of its oldest (and most frequent) crossover buddies is Marvel. Marvel was at the center of one of Fortnite's earliest crossovers, which let fans play as Thanos and wield the Infinity Gauntlet in a promotion for Avengers: Infinity War. Since then, we've seen Marvel and Fortnite team up a couple of times, usually to promote a new movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
