The hype around Marvel Rivals has been electric, so seeing new collaboration events for this shooter isn’t surprising. One thing getting attention from fans is that Fortnite is one of the games that will be collaborating with the licensed title. Details on the crossover are pretty vague but we have a couple of theories.
Gamers were pleasantly surprised to see the gameplay of Rivals look so good. Many fans even joked about replacing Overwatch 2 with this new game. Pairing up with the insanely popular Fortnite will ensure even more players check the shooter out.
Marvel Rivals x Fortnite event release date
No release date for the Marvel Rivals x Fortnite event has been announced. At the time of writing, Marvel Games has only announced that this collaboration will be happening and nothing more. Considering how the announcement is pretty new, there’s a chance that this event could happen around the game’s release.
While Rivals might not get anything from the get-go, Fortnite could have its collaboration happen quickly. The popular free-to-play shooter has already made numerous events about Marvel characters, so they could be coming back. Until then, fans will have to wait and see if this collaboration brings anything major to either game.
Old Marvel skins coming back to Fortnite?
Because Marvel Rivals is collaborating with Fortnite, it wouldn’t surprise us if the latter brings back older Marvel skins.
The game is already filled with new Marvel characters like Doctor Doom and Emma Frost, so fans would appreciate returning older skins. Fans could argue that the older superhero skins would also help with the shooter’s current nostalgia event.
Seeing the Fortnite-exclusive Zero War skin made for Spider-Man return would be a good start. Many fans would also appreciate seeing Thor, Wolverine, and the Silver Surfer return to the game. Epic and NetEase could have even more surprises planned for this collaboration, but fan will have to wait.
Galacta event?
Fortnite previously had an event centered around Marvel villain Galactus, who tried to eat the game’s world. With Marvel Rivals hyping up Galacta as an important character, seeing her pop up in Epic Games’ shooter for a collaboration event would be worth talking about. This new character has been all over the promotion for Rivals, so seeing her involved with Fortnite would get plenty of attention.
Because Galacta has been billed as an estranged daughter for Galactus, she could be trying to eat this world after her father failed to do it. Then again, Galacta is a non-playable character who only narrates the fights in Rivals so she might have another supporting role here. At the least, fans would like a Galacta skin that can be used in the game.
