Marvel Rivals has officially announced an exciting crossover with Fortnite, generating buzz among fans as it brings together iconic heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe into an immersive, action-packed shooter. Following multiple test runs offering players a sneak peek, the game’s full launch is just around the corner, and anticipation is building for what’s in store.
Developed by NetEase, Marvel Rivals offers a unique 6v6 shooter experience reminiscent of Overwatch 2. Players can engage in intense battles, selecting from well-known characters like Iron Man, Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Venom. The game’s role system assigns each character to one of three classes: Duelists (DPS), Strategists (support), and Vanguards (tanks), ensuring balanced team dynamics and strategic play.
To ramp up excitement even further for the game’s release on December 6, developers have surprised fans with the news of this unexpected crossover with Fortnite.
This event bringing Marvel Rivals and Fortnite together for a yet-to-be-revealed in-game event. Announced on the official Marvel Games Twitter account, the crossover will connect the worlds of Epic Games’ hit battle royale with NetEase’s Marvel Rivals shooter, although specific details and the release date remain under wraps.
In addition to Fortnite, this expansive collaboration will span multiple Marvel games, including the card battler Marvel Snap, the puzzle game Marvel Puzzle Quest, and the RPG Marvel Future Fight. While the announcement offers little in terms of concrete details, fans can expect more news soon on what these crossovers will bring to each game. Marvel has promised to share further information on this unique event, so fans of both Marvel and Fortnite have much to look forward to in the coming weeks.

When Fortnite was announced with other Marvel games, players were ecstatic and surprised, leaving the community perplexed because Battle Royale is not a Disney property. Others responded more favorably to the concept, assuming that Fortnite's most likely conclusion would be the inclusion of skins based on Marvel Rivals. The release of a Moon Knight skin and the possible inclusion of Galacta in the Epic Games game also excited several players.
The communities of the two games are still speculating and eagerly awaiting official information because the developers have not provided any details about the Chronoverse Collaboration. Months after stating that Psylocke would also be included in the game, Marvel Rivals continues to set the stage for its release by revealing that Moon Knight has joined the cast. Along with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Juice WRLD skins, gamers can also enjoy the nostalgia of Chapter 2 gameplay with the Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix.
