When are Loki and Thor coming to Fortnite?
There is no specific date for these two stalwarts from Marvel to arrive in the game. Their silhouettes have been spotted on a loading screen, and that's all that the community knows about these two heroes at this point.
Given that there's an ongoing DC collaboration in Fortnite that will extend into Chapter 2 Season 7, Loki and Thor may arrive in the game towards the latter half of the next season. Or they might arrive at the very beginning of the next season itself, provided there aren't any legal issues.
The Thor skin, whenever it comes to the game, will, in all probability, be new altogether.
Epic Games handed out the same treatment to the Batman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn characters during this season, and there's no reason for them to treat Thor any differently.
It'll be fascinating to see how Epic plans to introduce these two characters in Fortnite. It'll be even more exciting to see how these two fit in the storyline.
This series of loading screens that the publisher has been handing out for free to the Fortnite Crew subscribers also point towards a futuristic theme for the game.
Given that data miners revealed details about UFOs in-game, it's understood that there will be an alien/futuristic theme in the next season, in all probability.
That being said, this loading screen contains the silhouettes of a few more characters that could very well be pointing towards a few more collaborations. However, since they're just silhouettes, it isn't easy to figure out who they are, for now at least, so it's all speculation right now.
