In the new mode, launched Tuesday, the Avengers team will try to stop Doom's forces from collecting six Arcane Artifacts. The Avengers will try to hold the line against respawning Henchmen until the reinforcements are depleted.

It's likely that characters in the game will have some of their superhero weapons and special skills (Captain America's shield, for instance) to make the gameplay interesting.

Accessing the mode through the 31.20 Fortnite patch just involves selecting the mode from the Fortnite Discover menu or searching for the mode as "Day of Doom." 

Fortnite's Doctor Doom updates are also expected to include a new Iron Man Mark-45 skin and a slew of Lego: Lost Isles themed game modes, skins, environments and even Lego Klombos.
