During today’sMarvel’s AvengersWar Table briefing,Crystal Dynamicsshowed off a ton of content that will be available to players who participate in the beta. While the sheer amount of content offered in the beta, including lengthy side missions, may seem like enough, players who participate will be given a bonus item to use inFortnite.
There was a lot of information to take in during theMarvel’s AvengersWar Table about the game’s upcoming beta. Fans can expect to play the Golden Gate bridge sequence with the hero squad that has been shown off numerous times and upon completing that, the beta opens up and gives players access to the War Table. This allows players to play as The Hulk andKamala Khanas they venture to the Pacific Northwest and later to Russia, with one mission ending in a boss fight with Abomination. After these missions, fans will be able to complete other missions in co-op or solo with AI companions.

After finishing the beta, fans will earn a pickaxe for Epic’s super popular battle royale gameFortnite, which would mark yet anothercrossover betweenFortniteand Marvel. The pickaxe resembles the Hulk’s fists so players can smash their way through buildings and trees to gain materials. The Hulk hands also have an alternate option that makes the pickaxe look like Iron Man’s Hulkbuster armor. This bonus item will be rewarded to fans on the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. Unfortunately, there was no mention of the bonus on PC.
Fortniteand Marvel are no strangers to each other. This would be another cross over for the two powerhouses as players have seenFortnitefeature different skins and game types centered around Marvel characters. Around the release ofAvengers: Endgame,Fortnitereleased skins for Black Widow and Starlord as well as a game type where players fought against Thanos. Most recently,Fortnitereleased a Captain America skinaround the 4th of July.
