Fortnite has brought Marvel superhero, Black Panther, in the game. The new Marvel Royalty and Warriors pack contain Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Taskmaster. You can enjoy the pack by paying $24.99.
On Monday morning, Epic gave a hint of Black Panther’s arrival with the reveal of the Wakandan Salute emote. After the release of the Black Panther movie in 2018, many cast members of that movie have said publicly about the gesture and this salute has become so popular. The film earned $1.35 billion at the box office, with a massive $700.4 million domestically.
In the last Marvel-themed season of Fortnite, a big Black Panther statute was included in the map of the game. The players had the option to find a Black Panther superpower, but the Black Panther skin has never appeared in the in-game store of Fortnite. In the last season, there was a possibility of releasing Black Panther skin, but after the shocking death of Chadwick Boseman (who played the Black Panther role in the 2018 film), it was postponed. Marvel has a plan for the Black Panther sequel, which could come in 2022, but it’s not going to recast Boseman’s character in the movie.
The new season of Fortnite is focused mainly on different types of bounty hunters in the in-game universe. Epic brings some new characters for the battle pass of this new season. You can choose the character Mandalorian to have a Baby Yoda floating next to you in a capsule when you’ll reach level 100. Epic has included characters like Master Chief from Halo, Kratos from God of War, and 2 characters from The Walking Dead this season.
