Fortnite Battle Royale is set to launch its all-new season, Chapter 5 Season 2, titled Myths & Mortals, this week. The highly anticipated new season is based on Greek mythology, featuring main skins inspired by Poseidon, Zeus, Hades, and Athena.

Developed by Epic Games and released in 2017, Fortnite engages 100 players in head-to-head mortal combat to determine the last one standing. Players begin by skydiving onto an island, equipped with an ax, and must scavenge for weapons while evading an electrical storm. As the game progresses and players are eliminated, the play area shrinks, and updates are provided on how each elimination occurred. Fortnite offers three play modes: solo, duo, and squad mode, allowing players to team up.

Teasers on Instagram and X suggest a potential conflict between Olympus and the Underworld in the new season.
