Thanos Is Coming to Fortnite For an Avengers: Infinity War Crossover, and We Are So Freakin’ Excited

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, chances are you’ve at least heard whispers about two of the most-talked about phenomenons of 2018: Fortnite: Battle Royale and Avengers: Infinity War.

And while the video game and movie (respectively) don’t seem to have a whole lot in common, on May 7, the internet was set ablaze with the news that in a mere 24 hours, a mash-up of the two ultraviral franchises will be set loose upon the world.

Fortnite, a multiplayer co-op centered on 100 players fighting to be the last man standing, has been the breakout game of the year thus far. And according toEntertainment Weekly, the limited-time run of theAvengers-themed gameplay will feature an Infinity Gauntlet.

“The artifact containing all six Infinity Stones – the same one Thanos used to cripple Earth’s Mightiest Heroes on the big screen – will appear on the map,” it reported, adding, “Whomsoever finds and equips it will transform into Thanos himself, wielding all the power that comes with him. ”

While details are being kept under wraps at this stage – and there’s no indication as to what Thanos’s involvement will, in fact, be – you can bet we’ll be keeping a very close eye on social media until the mash-up drops. So stay tuned, and at the very least, make sure your Fortnite is fully up-to-date (and your credit card information accurate! ) as we have a feeling you’re going to want to check out this new development ASAP.
