Fortnite Plans to Add Black Panther POI to Season 4 Map
According to leaked battle royale map updates coded by Epic Games on August 27, Fortnite will add a new Black Panther-themed attraction "later in Season 4" as part of its ongoing crossover with Marvel.
So far, Marvel fans have had a lot of fun during the fourth season of Fortnite, with tons of new hero skins - including rumored release of Spider-Man - and the game will be even better.
According to the collected data, the leaks provided by HYPEX and apparently confirmed iFireMonkey , new attraction "PantherMonumentwill be added to Fortnite "later in the season" as part of a mid-event update.
This area dedicated to the Black Panther looks like it will be located to the left of the famous Fortnite POI Misty Meadows. The "monument" is rumored to be similar to the statue of Bastet in Wakanda depicted in Black Panther (2018).

The Panther Monument will join another Marvel-themed POI that has already been added to the game: Domain of Doom. It was added at the start of the Season 4 update, replacing Pleasant Park in the Marvel crossover.
Domain Doom, as well as minor POI updates such as "Sentinel Graveyard" and the new main menu locale "The Helicarrier", were mentioned in Epic's Chapter 4 Season 2 announcement.
The announcement also gives us a little clue as to when we'll see Black Panther's POI in the game. When Epic unveiled the new Marvel POIs, they said "more will arrive later."
This mid-season addition was also backed up by another HYPEX leak that mentioned mystery items for the Panther. These new Season 14.10 objects will be added in either version 14.20 or version XNUMX, the insider suggested.

Will Black Panther get a Fortnite skin?
Leaked confirmation that Black Panther will get a themed region in Season 4 begs the question; Will the King of Wakanda also appear in the game as one of the Marvel skins?
It would be nice to say yes. Such a skin did not have any leaks - at least at the time of publication - but given that Doctor Doom got POI , has its own skin and is a mini-boss, this is very likely.
The possibility of a Black Panther skin in Season 4 also reminded us of an old concept developed by GoldSulftin back in March 2018. The old concept looks absolutely crazy and quite worthy of a place in Fortnite!
Wouldn't this be cool? Here is a custom Black Panther #Fortnite skin I made. I haven't done anything like this before so let me know what you think and if you like this skin idea! @FortniteGame pic.twitter.com/xfLcSEoi9X

Black Panther may not have a confirmed Fortnite skin in the works, but Spider-Man appears to be on his way to an Epic battle royale; New test leaks confirmed that at some point, the hero will become part of season 4.
However, until Epic comes out and announces the POI and the Black Panther skin, this is all just speculation. But keep your fingers crossed. The King of Wakanda may soon be making his grand entry into Fortnite!
