Season 4 will center around Marvel characters

It's no secret that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 will revolve primarily around Marvel. A recently leaked roadmap has indicated this, and in-game teasers have provided further confirmation. Epic Games remains tight-lipped regarding any details. However, it's worth noting that the leaked roadmap depicts Doctor Doom, so it's likely that this character will be prominently featured.
