Fortnite Galactus event – what is it?

Galactus is one of Fortnite’s biggest baddies.

Also known as the Destroyer of Worlds, Galactus is hell-bent on causing mayhem – giving off serious Thanos (of Marvel fame) vibes.

That’s no surprise: Galactus is also a Marvel character.

Once a mortal man, Galactus is now a cosmic entity who consumes planets – and some argue he’s even stronger than Thanos.

“It was only a matter of time,” said Epic Games.

Epic Games often includes Marvel tie-ins for Fortnite events

“Galactus is closing in on the Island and the fate of all Reality lies in the balance.

“Join the ultimate fight against Galactus in the one-time only Nexus War finale event.”

Epic Games says “everything is in the balance”, and it’s likely that long-lasting changes will be made to Fortnite based on the outcome of the battle.

Most of the details of the event are being kept secret however, so players will certainly be in for some serious surprises.

But you can probably expect some Marvel heroes to turn up in-game.
