Fortnite Season 4 Marvel Theme Finally Confirmed With Thor Teaser
First the leak, and now the official information. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 will be Marvel themed and introduce an exclusive set of Thor skins.
This was confirmed by a new teaser video from Epic Games on August 21, which was released a couple of hours after the teaser was leaked to Nintendo eShop.
There have been rumors that the next season of Fortnite Battle Royale will take on another superhero theme for some time, and Thor is mentioned by countless individuals passing on information before confirmation was received.
However, Epic has been silent on the matter. They recently revealed a very casual looking Jonesy skin that looked a bit like Thor from Avengers: Endgame, although some fans at the time may have been accused of grasping at straws. Then data miners like HYPEX started looking for clues in the files.

Many may have first wondered if the leak was real because, after all, not all leaks turn out to be true. Although some Nintendo Switch players have posted videos on social media demonstrating this.
As seen below, in the Fortnite leader FortTory's tweet, a Twitter user BungDaBada was just one of many who stumbled across the teaser.
