News - Fortnite: Battle Royale : Avengers-Event: Thanos in Aktion + weitere Details

Gestern überraschte Epic Games mit der Ankündigung eines Crossover-Events zwischen zei der derzeit größten Entertainment-Marken: Fortnite und Marvel's Avengers. Jetzt gibt es weitere Details im veröffentlichten Patch-Log - und erste Szenen mit Thanos im Battle-Royale-Titel.

Epic Games hat gestern ein zeitlich begrenztes Crossover-Event in Fortnite mit Marvel's Avengers bzw. dem aktuellen Kinofilm "Avengers: Infinity War" angekündigt. Jetzt liegen mittlerweile auch das Patch-Log mit weiteren Details sowie erste Szenen mit Oberschurke Thanos vor.

Im neuen Spielmodus landet ein Meteor zu Beginn des Spiels in der Safe Zone und bringt unter anderem das Infinity Gauntlet mit in die Spielwelt. Wer sich dieses sichert, wird zu Thanos transformiert und kann als dieser munter loswüten. Thanos verfügt über vier Fertigkeiten, darunter ein mächtiger Schlag, durch den Gegner nicht nur zurückgeschleudert, sondern auch Gebäude zerstört werden. Außerdem kann er auf den Boden aufschlagen, um Gegner zurückzuwerfen und diesen Schaden zuzufügen. Dank Power Stone kann er per Fernangriff Schaden zufügen und ein Super-Jump hilft Thanos auch über die größten Hindernisse.

Thanos verfügt weiterhin über Schilde und Gesundheitspunkte. Wenn er einen anderen Spieler ausschaltet, regenerieren die Schilde; die Gesundheitspunkte regenerieren dagegen nie. Der Charakter nimmt von Abstürzen keinen Schaden und kann mit menschlichen Dingen wie Waffen & Co. nichts anfangen. Wird Thanos gekillt, kann jeder Spieler das Infinity Gauntlet aufheben und zu Thanos mutieren. Eine Partie ist auf rund 15 Minuten Spielzeit beschränkt.

Avengers-Kostüme wird es im Zuge des Events übrigens leider nicht zu erwerben geben. Im Übrigen könnt ihr alle weiteren Details dem Patch-Log weiter unten entnehmen.
