After Epic Games confirmed that a Carnage skin awaits those who can complete this season's Fortnite Battle Pass, the studio just announced that players can start playing as the psychotic red symbiote's father as early as today.
It's perfect timing - and very likely deliberate - on Epic's part to release the Venom skin now, as Venom: Let There Be Carnage is set to premiere on October 1. This is just one of many, many Marvel themed promotions available in Fortnite.
You can now play as Venom and Carnage in Fortnite
While the MCU was among the earliest crossovers with Fortnite, the game has now gone ahead and made partnerships with pretty much everybody. For much of last year and earlier this year, Fortnite collaborated with several other franchises, including DC. Now, it appears that Fortnite is going back to its original partners, Marvel, with Carnage and Venom as the main highlights of its Season 8 Battle Pass.
