Fortnite’s latest season, Chapter 5: Season 2, takes players back in time with a nod to Greek mythology in an epic update titled “Myths & Mortals.” Step into the shoes of Greek gods, battle across Mount Olympus and wield the thunderbolt of Zeus as you immerse yourself in this ancient world. The season kicked off with an engaging in-game event centered around Pandora’s box.
Among the exciting additions are new mythological locations like Mount Olympus and the underworld, guarded by the fierce Cerberus. Players can discover power-ups and items such as the Wings of Icarus for flight, Zeus’ bolts for lightning strikes, and the Chains of Hades for future challenges.
A fresh season also brings a new battle pass, offering the chance to unlock legendary Greek gods like Aphrodite, Medusa, and even a playful version of Poseidon in Slurp Juice form. Later on, Korra from “The Legend of Korra” joins the roster, expanding the mythological theme.
This season marks a significant shift for Fortnite, transforming it into a platform for various gaming experiences. From Lego Fortnite to Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival, the possibilities are endless.
