Fortnite, the popular battle royale game, is set to take a classical turn in its upcoming season 5 by venturing into the world of Greek mythology. The game, known for its diverse themes and crossovers, has teased the new season with in-game events and leaks, building anticipation among its player base.
During the weekend, players witnessed a giant hand emerging from the ground near an in-game amphitheater, holding a chest that prompted them to engage in a challenge to unlock its contents. This event, along with other Greek-themed changes to the game’s map, hinted at the upcoming season’s theme, further confirmed by leaked battle pass skins.
Leaked skins include iconic figures from Greek mythology such as Zeus, Aphrodite, Medusa, and even Cerberus, among others. Additionally, rumors suggest the introduction of an alternate skin for Kratos, the protagonist of God of War, aligning with the Greek theme of the season.
Season 5 marks the first new season since the beginning of Fortnite Chapter 5, which introduced three new in-game experiences: Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and Lego Fortnite. With the upcoming season set to kick off on March 8, players are eager to immerse themselves in the world of Greek mythology within the Fortnite universe.
