Only today, a new Fortnite leaked revealed some new skins Epic Games has planned to add to the game, including a couple of DC Comics themed ones, which will surely make for a nice change of pace considering Season 4 has been centered around Marvel superheroes and villains.
However, it's already been confirmed that Season 4 won't be the last Fortnite/Marvel crossover, with Epic's creative director previously stating that the two companies already have a long partnership ahead of them. And now another leak suggests that Epic's relationship with Disney itself has only got stronger.
According to VastBlast on Twitter, a regular Fortnite leaker and dataminer, Epic will be doing a special tie-in with Disney+, Disney's own streaming service, starting on New Year's Eve. From that date, any players who purchase V-Bucks or spend any money on the in-game item shop, they'll receive up to two months of Disney+ for free. The leak also mentions lower prices, which could mean there will be discounts to further entice players into trying out the deal.
The collaboration makes a lot of sense considering how much Marvel related content is on Disney+ and coming to it in the future. Aside from most of the movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe already available on the service, Disney+ has some exclusive Marvel TV shows in production, including but not limited to WandaVision (which focuses on Scarlet Witch and Vision living a suburban life after the events of Avengers Endgame) and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (another post-Endgame show centered around Captain America's two former sidekicks).
Though it's still not been officially announced yet, knowledge of this collaboration has fans hoping this spells good news for future Disney themed crossovers aside from Marvel. Fortnite had previously featured skins and other cosmetics based on Star Wars, so there could very well be more of those, perhaps based on Disney+'s Star Wars shows like The Madanlorian and The Clone Wars.
As far as confirmed skins go, Epic did recently unveil a Ghost Rider skin, which players can unlock early by winning the new Ghost Rider Cup, the second of the Marvel Knockout Super Series tournaments Epic is holding.
Of course, it won't just be Disney that Epic will be partnering with in the future. Aside from the DC crossover mentioned earlier, Epic likely has other collaborations in the pipeline. Some fans even believe that creative director Donald Mustard has teased a possible G.I. Joe crossover.
Fortnite is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
