Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 Is Adding X-Men's Magneto

thegamer.com:

Fortnite has released some key art for Chapter 5, Season 3, revealing that X-Men villain Magneto will be one of the game's newly added skins.

Earlier this week, it was rumored that Fortnite would be crossing over with Marvel again for Chapter 5, Season 3, after a copyright mark for the company was spotted in the game's most recent teaser trailer. We didn't know exactly what that Marvel collaboration would look like following the discovery, but the recent release of the game's key art has cleared it all up, revealing that Magneto from X-Men will be heading to the island pretty soon.

Unfortunately, Magneto seems to be the only established character included in the key art for this season, but there are a couple of other notable inclusions that people seem to be happy with. For example, a lot of people seem to be hyped about the new pea skin, which can be seen in the bottom right of the image driving a car. It looks to be a walking peapod, with individual faces for each pea, and I would like to buy it right now please.

Now that the Marvel collaboration and Magneto has been confirmed, we have two big franchises we know will be headed to The Island in Chapter 5, Season 3. It was revealed last week that Fallout will be crossing over with Fortnite at some point this season, which isn't all that surprising given its -post-apocalyptic theme and the raving success of the Amazon TV show, though we're not quite sure how that will actually manifest just yet.

In terms of rumors, there was some interesting news a couple of days ago from reliable insider Midori that Disney is pushing for more Kingdom Hearts collaborations, with Fortnite being a part of this initiative. We don't know how big of a collaboration it will be, and Fortnite's current theme doesn't really fit with Kingdom Hearts' whole vibe, but it sounds like we might get to run around The Island with Sora and the gang in the near future. If he's smart, he takes one of those assault rifles with him to Quadratum
