Fortnite is one of the biggest games in the world and that in turn has made Epic one of the biggest publishers. While they are most famous for their battle royale experience, they are also responsible for the Unreal Engine along with their own PC store. On PC, they give away free games on a weekly basis, and a leak shows that the Fortnite publisher is set to release a free superhero game that fans of Marvel will definitely want to grab before the offer quickly expires.

There is a lot for the Fortnite community to anticipate for the remainder of Chapter 5 Season 3. Epic has had to respond to a video showing some premium cars are “pay to win,” but in less controversial news leaks have revealed another huge live event happening soon, and leaks also point to a Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration happening this month.

While a collaboration with Pirates of the Caribbean is exciting, fans can expect more crossovers with Marvel superheroes in the future. Marvel and Fortnite colliding has sort of become the norm, and Epic is soon set to giveaway a free Marvel game for PC users.

Fortnite publisher is releasing Marvel’s Midnight Suns for free

Fortnite publisher, Epic Games, is releasing their final mystery vault game on June 6th. What the freebie is remains a mystery, but reliable leaker Billbil_kun, via dealabs, has revealed that it is Marvel’s Midnight Suns.

Billbil_kun has been accurate with all of the mystery vault leaks as they uncovered Dragon Age Inquisition, Farming Simulator 22, and Chivalry 2 before the official reveals. Assuming Billbil_kun is accurate once more, Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be the final mystery giveaway.

It is set to release on June 6th at 8AM PT/ 11AM ET/4PM BST, and you will need to claim it before these same hours on June 13th. If you don’t claim within this timeframe, the giveaway will cease to exist.

Although it was a commercial flop, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is an excellent AAA experience from the folks responsible for the legendary X-COM. It’s an RPG where you get to create your own superhero and hang out with Marvel icons ranging from Iron Man to Doctor Strange to Spider-Man to Ghost Rider.

As for Fortnite, it appears that the previously leaked roadmap for 2024 is accurate. This, of course, isn’t official, but the unfolding events of Chapter 5 Season 3 certainly provide credibility. Assuming the roadmap is accurate, fans can expect another Marvel crossover for Season 4.

A leak has possibly spoiled the first Season 4 skin with a new gameplay feature, and it is a Marvel superhero that has not yet appeared in the battle royale. And, assuming the leak is true, they will be joined by a trio of other iconic superheroes along with a famous rogue.

In other Fortnite news, Epic has provided massive nerfs to cars.
