Summary
A newFortnitesurvey has revealed thatGod of War’s Kratos may be returning to the game soon. This possibility would line up with the supposed theme ofFortnite’s next season.
For the last couple of months, rumors and leaks have claimed thatFortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 2 update, which is expected to launch soon on March 8, will implement a Greek mythology theme. This theme seems basically confirmed afterFortniterecently introduced an in-game eventbased on Pandora’s Box, a popular concept from Greek mythology. It seems thatFortnitefans might see an additional, more modern idea added to the game that is inspired by the ancient tradition.
EstablishedFortniteleaker ShiinaBR explained that a new Epic Games survey asked about players' opinions on 2005’sGod of War. They further detailed that these surveys often ask about topics that are planned to be added toFortniteas future collaborations, suggesting that the young Kratos character seen in the original game may be added to the battle royale in the future. The potential skin could be added as part of a new bundle inFortnite’s in-game shop or as part of a mid-season battle pass update that allows users to unlock him by completing various quests, similar toFortnite’s recentMetal Gear Solidcollaboration. It seems unlikely that the new Kratos skin will be part ofFortnite’s standard battle pass come next season, although it’s still possible at this point.
New Kratos Skin Possibly Coming to Fortnite
Fortnitepreviously added a Kratos skinback in 2020 that was based on his appearance in recentGod of Wargames. The older Kratos skin hasn’t been seen inFortnite’s shop in almost three years, making him a pretty rare commodity. The Kratos-themed bundle came with popular items from recent games such as the Leviathan Axe and Guardian Shield, so it seems likely that the next bundle could feature popular items from the 2005 title.
Kratos has undergone plenty of changessince his introduction almost 20 years ago. It seems that the new skin, which is still unconfirmed, would be based on his younger, beardless appearance seen in the original game. In addition to visual differences, his personality in older games was much more aggressive and ruthless, partially due to him not embracing the role of fatherhood yet.
Recently,Fortniteleakers also revealed a new weaponthat is possibly coming in the game’s next season. The new DMR comes in all five rarities and has pretty decent stats, although it’s important to note that its release date is still unconfirmed.
