Running into Battle Royale brandishing Captain America’s shield? Yes, please.

That’s right, there’s a new Avengers: Endgame event heading to Fortnite this week. The video game’s official Twitter posted a message this morning to tease the event, which is set to start this Thursday, April 25.  

Within two hours of the announcement, #FortniteXAvengers was trending on Twitter. Excited fans had a lot to say about the upcoming crossover.

This isn’t the first time the MCU has blended with Fortnite. Last year, in anticipation of Avengers: Infinity War, the Mad Titan himself appeared in the Battle Royale game.

The details for this new crossover are still vague, but the Captain America shield in the teaser image has us betting that even more characters will make a Fortnite debut this week.
