The game itself isn&rsquo;t launching until early September, but a beta version is available now for players who have an Xbox One or PlayStation 4. How do you get the new&nbsp;<em>Fortnite<\/em>&nbsp;items? Complete certain challenges in the&nbsp;<em>Marvel&rsquo;s Avengers<\/em>&nbsp;beta.<\/p>\n<p><em>Marvel&rsquo;s Avengers<\/em>&nbsp;is exactly what it sounds like &mdash; a video game based on the popular Avengers superheroes. The new&nbsp;<em>Fortnite<\/em>&nbsp;tie-in is undoubtedly a promotion for this game, serving as a way to get players to download the beta and check out the new superhero title before it hits the market on September 4 (it is available to pre-order now).<\/p>\n<p>In an announcement on its website, Epic Games said that its players will need to download the&nbsp;<em>Marvel&rsquo;s Avengers<\/em>&nbsp;beta from the PlayStation Store or Xbox Live &mdash; the available beta dates will depend on whether you&rsquo;ve pre-ordered the game. Those who already purchased the superhero title will be able to play the beta on PS4 from August 7 to August 9.<\/p>\n<p>The PlayStation Open Beta will be live from August 14 to 16, the same dates the Xbox One beta will arrive for those who pre-ordered the game. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will both have access to an open beta period from August 21 to 23, as well.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll need to link your console to both Epic Games and Square Enix accounts&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/fortnite\/en-US\/news\/get-the-hulk-smashers-pickaxe-and-bonus-hulkbuster-style-with-marvels-avengers-beta-xbox-one-ps4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as explained in<\/a>&nbsp;Epic&rsquo;s announcement. After doing that, players will get the Hulkbuster Style and Hulk Smashers Pickaxe by completing three HARM Challenges in&nbsp;<em>Marvel&rsquo;s Avengers<\/em>&nbsp;by August 23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/fortnite\/en-US\/news\/get-the-hulk-smashers-pickaxe-and-bonus-hulkbuster-style-with-marvels-avengers-beta-xbox-one-ps4\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/fortnite\/en-US\/news\/get-the-hulk-smashers-pickaxe-and-bonus-hulkbuster-style-with-marvels-avengers-beta-xbox-one-ps4<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Brittany A.
