The MCU Predicted Fortnite Chapter 1's Return

thegamer.com:

Avengers Endgame had a five-year time jump from 2018 to 2023, showing the heroes who survived the Snap learning to live with the aftermath. Captain America led group therapy sessions, Hawkeye went on a revenge-fueled killing spree, and Thor founded New Asgard in Norway. But of all the fantastical things to happen in the MCU, people found Korg and Meep still playing Fortnite's first chapter five years later far-fetched. If only they knew.

Fortnite OG launched last week, breaking the game's all-time player peak twice in just a matter of days. It brought back the game's first chapter and map at almost exactly the same time as when we saw Korg and NoobMaster69 getting into an online fight. So, not that unrealistic after all.

NoobMaster69 turned out to be Aaron. Remember him? Really iconic Marvel hero, Aaron​​​​​​? Oh, you don't remember him - shocker. He was an Apple employee in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, though he says his younger cousin came up with his PSN name.

Endgame is set in October, so we're a month late. However, fans speculate that for whatever reason, the Snap slightly sped up the game's timeline. Obviously, the real explanation is that the Russo Brothers decided to put Fortnite in the movie and that's just how it looked in 2018, but that's no fun.

So, if we were in the MCU, Iron Man would've died a few weeks ago and billions of people would've popped back up out of thin air, only to discover that their favourite battle royale hasn't changed much at all. Well, I doubt the first thing on their mind would be their battle pass progress, but maybe that explains the player peak breaking, eh?

Korg is still playing on a PS4, though. Either he didn't shell out for the newest generation or the Snap also stopped
