Epic Games has always found ways to make "Fortnite Battle Royale" attractive to different audiences, which is a huge reason for its popularity. The video game is played by younger gamers, as well as older ones. It has not only become popular in the gaming world, but also in pop culture. "Fortnite" has turned into a worldwide phenomenon, and it appears that its developer will keep making it even more popular for many years to come.
In 2018, Epic Games has teamed up with Marvel to bring a character from "Avengers: Infinity War" to the popular video game.
Thanos has stepped into the "Fortnite Battle Royale" universe and players were able to use his powerful skills to defeat their enemies and earn victories. This year, the video game creator will do a crossover with the upcoming "Avengers" movie, and it looks like players will get much more than just a limited-time game mode!
It's coming out very soon!
The Infinity Gauntlet limited-time game mode featured Thanos and was released on May 8, 2018. This happened two weeks after the release of "Avengers: Infinity War" and the game mode was incredibly popular. It has brought "Avengers" fans to "Fortnite," while many players of the battle royale game who weren't familiar with the movie decided to watch it.
The promotion was mutually beneficial, which is why it is coming back in 2019 as well.
"Avengers: Endgame" is scheduled to be released on April 26, 2019 in the United States. However, it will be Epic Games who will promote the movie just before it comes out. The video game developer has released the official announcement for the crossover over social media, and it turns out that it will happen on April 25, just one day before the official release of the movie.
"Whatever it takes. 4.25.19.#FortniteXAvengers," is what Epic Games posted on the official Twitter page.
Whatever it takes.

What makes this announcement interesting is the image that features a "Fortnite Battle Royale" character using Captain America's shield.
While Epic Games hasn't revealed any details about the crossover yet, it won't be surprising if we actually get "Avengers" skins this time. If not, then there is a good chance that the game creator makes crossover skins that feature "Fortnite" characters and some parts of superheroes who appear in the movie.
Limited-time game mode
According to data miners, the Infinity Gauntlet limited-time game mode will be released this year as well. Data miners have found some new game files related to this mode, including updated UI, new elimination feed messages, and more. This is definitely going to be an exciting week for "Fortnite Battle Royale" players, so make sure you don't miss this special event!
