August 21, 2020 More Fortnite leaks involving Thor have surfaced.
It's time to start looking forward to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4, since – unlike the last couple of seasons – it looks like the current season's actually going to end on time. One of the more interesting things we've seen in the build up are various leaks suggesting Marvel content involving Thor and Galactus is coming.
The most recent one comes from the Nintendo eShop as an battle royale game. Dataminers have also found hints about the next major event for the game under the name 'Hightower', which also points to Marvel's Thor and Galactus factoring into that event somehow.
Following the 13.40 update – the one that added Fortnite skin left behind a similar crater in its debut.
Leakers have also found evidence of a 'comic reader', and a mysterious comic book has appeared on the battle screen in certain versions of the game – which appears to show a character travelling the Bifrost while Thor and Galactus do battle. Sound effects tied to the event, when played through a spectogram, reveal a silhouette that looks a whole lot like Galactus.
It all seems to point toward a season-closing Fortnite event in which Marvel characters will be heavily involved. As Avengers game release date is coming soon, with a selection of promotional cosmetics tied to the new game.

Fortnite is no stranger to Marvel crossovers – Thanos featured in one of the battle royale's earliest cross-promotional events, and we've seen characters like Deadpool and Captain America either the map itself or the item shop very recently. (Boy is Aquaman going to feel awkward soon…)
The Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 end date is set for August 27, so pending any delays we should start to see these leaks and datamines manifesting in-game very soon.
