Predictably sufficient, it seems to be like final yr’s Thanos-hunting restricted time mode (LTM) could also be returning to Fortnite forward of the discharge of Avengers: Endgame.
The clues come to us by way of Skin-Tracker.com‘s Twitter account (and Fortnite Intel), which noticed some curious kill feed messages within the newest v8.30 patch. Among these are mentions of ice fiends and ice brutes, of unleashing infernos and zapping individuals of the sky, and most tellingly, a dying message saying a participant “yielded to the POWER of Thanos”. You can see the strings within the tweet beneath.
This isn’t the primary time a datamine has pointed to the potential return of the Thanos mode. Back in October, the 6.20 update tuned Thanos’s laser capability, which stirred a flurry of hypothesis that the mode would return sooner or later, maybe alongside one of many first trailers for Endgame. It didn’t occur, however it was a transparent signal that developer Epic hadn’t deserted the mode. And with the film now simply over two weeks away, the timing is good.

In different current Fortnite information, here’s where to find the new reboot vans to revive your squadmates Apex Legends model, and how to unlock the Fortnite Ruin skin.
Fortnite noticed a lot of its astonishing development all through 2018, and the Thanos crossover event stands out as a particular spike in that ascent. If you missed it, the foundations are fairly easy. Thanos’s Infinity Gauntlet drops from the sky onto the map, and any participant who picks it up turns into Thanos, with all of the gauntlet’s powers. This means a spread of highly effective skills (together with that laser), however you lose the power to construct, or to make use of the game’s common weapons.
