A much-loved classic skin could be set for a big comeback in Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 2. However, players may be in for a surprise, as this comeback is expected to be presented in the guise of a younger edition of the skin.
Players are gearing up for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, which is just around the corner. The latest rumors are buzzing about a potential Greek mythology theme for the forthcoming season.
Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, first hinted at a Greek mythology theme for Season 2 with the introduction of Odyssey NPC, at Ruined Reels. She has her enigmatic dialogue and quests, further stoking the Greek-mythology speculation.
The Titan Hand and Pandora's Box chest in-game events have since made appearances on the island. Players worldwide have joined forces to crack open the Pandora's Box chest, further fueling the anticipation for Season 2.
Epic Games has dropped additional hints toward the possible revival of an iconic Greek god, Kratos. A recent Fortnite survey from Epic Games has pointed towards the potential reappearance of the Greek deity in Chapter 5 Season 2.
Epic Games' latest survey has suggested that Kratos, a fan-favorite character from the God of War franchise, could make a return in Fortnite's upcoming season.
Trusted Fortnite leak investigator ShiinaBR shed light on the possibility of Kratos' return. They shared that Epic Games' new survey mentioned the '(2005) God of War.'
They added that this survey might be indicative of upcoming collaborations. If Epic Games has plans to bring Young Kratos to Fortnite, a Greek mythology-themed season could be the best time for that.
Kratos made his first appearance in Fortnite three years ago during Chapter 2 Season 5. Known for his strength and power, the Greek god quickly became a beloved character amongst the Fortnite community, boasting his exclusive outfit and several associated cosmetics tied to the popular franchise.
His arrival closely followed the launch of PS's 'God of War Ragnarok'. His character was quickly embraced by the gaming community, leading to frequent appeals for his return.
So far, Epic Games has stopped short of officially confirming the return of Kratos in his younger avatar, Young Kratos. However, considering that this version of the skin was conceptualized by Epic Games' Chief Creative Officer Charlie Wen, it's highly likely that it may be released in the future.
The Greek-mythology theme rumor lends credence to the highly anticipated return of Kratos. ShiinaBR noted that Fortnite's surveys usually inquire about potential collaborations, often leading to future additions in the game.
Whether the speculation and hints will materialize in the form of Young Kratos making a grand entrance in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 remains to be seen. The gaming community is anxiously waiting for the upcoming season, optimistic that the beloved God of War will once again grace their screens.
The addition of Kratos, especially in his younger avatar, could significantly enhance the overall gaming experience of Fortnite's upcoming season. If it turns out to be true, it would be a brilliant blend of innovative maneuvering and nostalgia.
Until Epic Games' official confirmation, gamers around the globe are keeping their fingers crossed. The Fortnight gaming community is eagerly awaiting the unveiling of Chapter 5 Season 2, hoping to engage with their favorite characters from past seasons once again.
