Epic Games has confirmed that the Fortnite Marvel Battle Pass for the Absolute Doom season will return in the 41.10 update, marking a rare shift for skins that were once locked behind Battle Pass progression. The move puts one of Fortnite’s most closely watched cosmetic collections back in play, even as Epic stops short of saying exactly how it will work.
The teaser arrived through Fortnite’s official X account, where a massive vault and a file labeled UNVAULTED: Battle Pass C5S4 pointed players toward the return. The post said, “The vault has been opened and we are pulling a few things from this file,” and confirmed the return of the Absolute Doom Pass in the 41.10 update.
That matters because the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass originally sold for 800 V-Bucks and was built around Doctor Doom taking over the Island after tricking Megalo Don with his Wanderer disguise. For players who missed it, the announcement turns a one-time reward track into something more uncertain, and that is why the news is landing now: Epic is signaling that at least some of those rewards are no longer staying locked away.
What Epic has not said is almost as important as what it has. The company has not named which skins from the Pass will return, and it has not said whether they will show up in the Fortnite Item Shop or through a different method entirely. All of the skins and outfit styles are eligible to return, but that still leaves the real question hanging over the announcement: whether Epic is opening the whole set, or only a portion of it.
The return also lands at a moment when players have been waiting the longest for Battle Pass skins to come back, and the scale of the collection may be part of the reason Epic is being careful. The collection is large, and the company may not bring everything back at once. That leaves the 41.10 update as the first checkpoint, not the final answer, and players watching for Epic Games Battle Pass Changes will be looking for the next post that names the skins and explains how they will be sold.
