Fortnite Update Introduces Changes to Kratos' Appearance

In its seventh year, Fortnite continues to surprise players with its ever-evolving themes and collaborations with iconic pop culture figures. The latest season, Chapter 5 Season 2, dives into the ancient world with its "Myths and Mortals" theme, celebrating Greek mythology. The game's map has been transformed, introducing Greek-inspired lakes and buildings. Players can now explore four new points of interest, including the majestic Mount Olympus, the mythical abode of the Greek gods.

Kratos' Skin Gets a Facelift

Among the exciting updates, players have noticed a subtle yet significant change to the Kratos skin. A Reddit user named Alphasilverhawk shared a video highlighting the updated facial expressions of the God of War protagonist, now sporting a fiercer, angrier look. This skin, originally released in Chapter 2 Season 5, was based on Kratos' appearance in God of War Ragnarok. The update also includes a version of Kratos in golden armor.

Will Kratos Make a Comeback?

Despite the Greek mythology theme, Kratos' skin has been absent from the Fortnite store for over 1,000 days. However, there's a buzz among fans, fueled by leaks suggesting the potential return of the Spartan warrior. Rumors hint at a new skin featuring a younger Kratos from the 2005 God of War game. Additionally, there's talk of an Atreus skin making its debut alongside the comeback of his father's epic look.

The Ever-Growing List of Fortnite Collaborations

Fortnite's list of collaborations continues to expand, with fans eagerly anticipating more crossovers. The update to Kratos' skin has sparked speculation about the release of more content related to the Greek pantheon. Despite being a well-trodden theme in pop culture, Greek mythology remains immensely popular, and Fortnite's exploration of this rich lore is a testament to its enduring appeal.
