The LTM will be called “Infinity Gauntlet” and will be the same as the standard mode, however the Infinity Gauntlet will be in play. Whoever finds and equips the artifact will transform into Thanos and wield all the power of the Infinity Stones.
This all happened because co-directors of Avengers: Infinity War co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo are huge fans of Fortnite and has this to say in an exclusive with Entertainment Weekly:
“Over the past few months, while we were editing Infinity War, we’d take breaks to hop on and get in a few games,” Joe exclusively told EW. “And then we started thinking, how cool would it be to have some kind of Avengers–Fortnite mashup? So we stalked Donald.”
Here’s what Donald Mustard, the worldwide creative director of Epic Games, had to say:
“Out of the blue, I get this call from Joe. And after a bit of geeking out over each other’s work, we start brainstorming these crazy ideas,” Mustard recalled. “It was really important that whatever we did, it had to be super authentic to both Fortnite and the Avengers: Infinity War, and something that fans of both would be excited about. About an hour later, we had the bones of this awesome idea for a limited time gameplay mode, and almost immediately our team got started.”

Epic employee Mooney has confirmed that there is no talk of adding Avengers skins to Fortnite:
Oof I’ve never been more excited about something.
Could this mean a star wars LTM
No, fuck off
Ok but we all knew it was coming. I mean, all the signs on the bases looked like the avengers sign, and you can’t have superheroes without avengers.
Will there be skins?
At this moment, there will be no addition of Avengers Skins available in the Shop as confirmed by Epic employee JustMooney1 on Reddit.
Will the wins count if u win like is it classified as squads or that
The blockbuster skin might be an avenger skin since it fits with the theme
Can u guys talk about adding avenger characters i would love if you guys can add them thanks you!
Is it just thanos or is there any other characters that we can play or not
Is it just thanos or is there any other characters that we can play or not and how long is the game mode for
Does tje infinity gauntlet make you stronger
If we kill the person with the gauntlet does he drop it and the others can got it with the rest of his loot and will it be op due to the fact he got all six stones or does he have to find them and will he be big because if thanos in regular size would look stupid like maybe little bigger than average
This is going to be sick! Can’t imagine a better collaboration.
Avengers skins will not be available “in store” what if it’s the blockbuster skin….I mean they will already have a thanks skin designed…..
This is sick!!
Very interesting information!Perfect just what I was looking for!
