Following on from the news from yesterday that a new Marvel Avengers: Infinity War themed mode was coming to the hit video game, Fortnite.  The new event is now live and fully playable on Xbox One, PS4, Mobile and PC.

Here is the trailer of this new event:

Here are the details on the Limited Time Mashup: Infinity Gauntlet mode:

  • Take down Thanos, equip the Gauntlet and claim Victory!
  • Mashup Details
    • Early in the match, a meteor will land in the storm safe zone, delivering the Infinity Gauntlet.
    • Any player who uses the Infinity Gauntlet will transform into Thanos.
    • Stats are recorded for this LTM and can be found in the Solo tab.
    • If Thanos is eliminated, the Gauntlet will fall to the ground, free for the taking. If it sits unused for too long, it will disappear until another meteor appears.
