Player of Fortnite, it’s clobberin’ time! The Fantastic Four Cup will run along with its own chaos on July 23, rolling every Marvel superhero into chaotic battle royale. The event is for the famous family of the Fantastic Four, and yes, there is an early bundle for those who just can’t wait to get into the skins of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, or The Thing.
Of course, the Fortnite community had thoughts about it. The announcement tweet brought about a lot of varying reactions—the hype, the confusion, disbelief, and dismay. Some players were really excited instead, like @Atypiclul, who kept shouting, “i can’t wait to get the fantastic fourskins for free !!!” And, naturally, squad pairings were already being stressed over. “making it harder and harder for me, now i gotta find 3 other players to play this with?” lamented @Melnivzy. Yeah, the squads-only format? Not every one of us is stoked. “Why make it squads? Not everyone can find a squad,” contended @Keegofnt, who may have suggested the Fortnite competitive team should go take a long walk off a short pier with no small amount of aggression.
The zero-build crowd felt left out again. “When zero build?” demanded @Otakufansite, echoing a frustration that had stemmed ever since build mode had returned. And how about @zbhoooook? They are already on Day Three! Dedication, pure dedication!
However, we should not forget that real mystery. “What on God’s Green Earth is Fantastic Four,” asked @wydcoleyy, unwittingly admitting to their own unawareness of (or perhaps just being too young to know about) all things Marvel. On the other hand, @MechaaAU began noticing things looked peculiar in the promo art: “@JXIDENCHAD is that a golem in the top left”—because, frankly, nothing spells out superhero showdown like some random fantasy flora and fauna lurking in the background.
For all competitive grinders, the cup is a must. @KerrrezFN has begun forming teams for the event: “looking for 1 fantastic 4 cup / 25k pr $100 comb / will play with ANYONE.” Desperate? Probably. Determined? Absolutely. Then, we have @Team_KSV, who are currently stuck on vacation whereas the skins are waiting for them: “1650th place in squad. It’s so free to win the entire pack but I’m in holiday 😞.” Such a tragedy.
And what about the bundle? @ULTRA_821 asked: “So that means they are in 1 bundle?” Yes indeed, all four skins, probably with some extra bonuses—in true Epic fashion, capitalizing on FOMO.
There really has to be some food debate in any battle royale event. A big shoutout to @myfanic for arriving out of the blue with “butter chicken, naan, chicken tikka masala and samosa”. Just vibes.
In conclusion, this cup might be pure chaos for the Fantastic Four — whether you’re hyped for skins or crunching the squad scramble, or just here for the memes. July 23rd is a date to be marked on your calendar, because it’s about to get… fantastic. Or frustrating. Maybe both.
