The almighty and villainous Doctor Doom has gained brand-new skin in Fortnite.

Doctor Doom, one of the most famous villains from Marvel, arrived in Fortnite as part of the content for Chapter 5 Season 4, also dubbed as the Absolute Doom season.

Given that Doctor Doom inspired Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, Epic Games logically developed a special skin to pay tribute to the villain. This skin differs from the one Epic Games did for Doctor Doom in Chapter 2 Season 4, when the character originally debuted in the game in 2020.

Without further ado, here's how you can obtain the new Doctor Doom skin in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4.

The only way to unlock Doctor Doom is to buy the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass for 950 V-Bucks. However, even if you buy it right now, you won't be able to use the skin until Sept. 5, when it actually releases.

By the way, when the skin becomes available, you'll need to complete all the Doctor Doom Battle Pass quests before unlocking the outfit and the other cosmetics that are included in the Doom of Latveria set.

As of the moment of this writing on Aug. 16, it's unclear what other Doctor Doom items Epic Games will release, but we're expecting a LEGO skin, emotes, pickaxes, and all the usual good stuff that fans of cosmetics love.

When you get your hands on Doctor Doom's skin, it'll be usable across the following modes: Battle Royale, Save the World, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing.

Is the Doctor Doom skin from Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 different from the skin from Chapter 2 Season 4?

In case you have the original Doctor Doom skin and think it's not worth getting this new one from Chapter 5 Season 4, take a look for yourself and see how different the old one is.
