All the aforementioned skins will be announcing their arrival in the Item Shop on July 25 at 8 p.m. ET. Epic Games will also offer players the opportunity to get the designs unlocked in advance. On July 23, that is today, players shall have the opportunity to take part in the Fantastic Four Cup. The ones who manage to earn the top points will get all four members at zero cost.
The primary focus of the Fantastic Four will be on the Squads. Players will have a three-hour window to take part in multiple matches. They, however, cannot take part in more than 10 matches. For a Victory Royale, players will get as many as 62 points. Once you decide to participate, you can be sure of getting some incentive. If a player manages to survive for a minimum of 60 minutes within the Cup, they will get a The Thing Spray, which will have “It’s Clobberin’ Time” written on it. If somebody manages to survive for 120 minutes, they will receive a Human Torch emoticon.
Epic Games has put in a lot of effort to ensure The Fantastic Four skins come across as authentic. The Johnny Storm skin, for instance, comes equipped with a built-in Flame on emote. The Ben Grimm skin will feature The Thing’s alt style. Three members shall have their own Pickaxe, which would be modeled on their powers. While Reed is in possession of the Fantastic Fists Pickaxe, the Psionic Orbs Pickaxe has been handed over to Sue. The Torch’s Flame Pickaxe, of course, is given to Johnny. Since these items have been designed to be universal, players have the option of using them with other outfits as well.
Whoever has used the skins so far has been quite happy with them. The design of the skins is that one aspect that has been praised unanimously. The Thunderbolts’ skins received a bit of criticism owing to their Pen and Ink look.

What must be mentioned here that Epic Games stayed true to the essence of the movie and that seems to have worked very well.
There is no doubt about the fact that the arrival of the Fantastic Four in Fortnite has brought tremendous joy to the community. For the longest time, fans had been complaining about the limited number of Marvel characters in the game. However, there is still a lot of scope for more Marvel characters to be introduced in the game.
