Summary
- Chapter 5 Season 2 of Fortnite may introduce flying-related movement abilities and mythic bosses inspired by Greek mythology.
- Leaks suggest new mythic weapons like Zeus' Lightning Bolt and Hades' Fire Chain, as well as a new item called the Wing with a cooldown.
- Fortnite's potential collaborations with God of War and Jujutsu Kaisen could bring new skins, backblings, and weapon wraps to the game.
As Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 2 update approaches, Epic Games has teased a new movement ability that seems to be flying-related. Previous leaks regarding Fortnite's major March 8 update may have already revealed what this will be.
A recent Fortnite leak claimed that Chapter 5 Season 2 introduces four new bosses, a POI called Olympus, an item called the Gold Apple, and more. The four bosses will be based on various figures from Greek mythology, which is apparently the overarching theme for the season. After being defeated, these bosses will drop new mythic weapons, such as Zeus' Lightning Bolt and Hades' Fire Chain. The leak also mentioned a new feature called the Wing, which is apparently a usable item with a 30-second cooldown that can be found in chests.
Fortnite: 6 Greek Mythology Skins We'd Like to See in Chapter 5 Season 2
Fortnite will soon explore ancient Greek mythology in its upcoming season - here are some of the mythic creatures, gods, and heroes we'd like to see.
A recent Fortnite tweet seems to have teased this new item by posting an image of a winged individual outlined by a constellation. Additionally, the official FNCompetitive Twitter account posted a message that read, "You know how you can walk or sprint when competing? Let’s say you’ll be able to do something else." While it seems likely that these tweets are hinting at the rumored Wing item, it should be emphasized that the item is still unconfirmed and the Fortnite Twitter accounts could be teasing something else. The previously mentioned Gold Apple was another mobility-related item included in the leak, which apparently gives the user a speed boost after consuming it.
New Mobility Item Possibly Coming in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2
Fortnite often makes changes to its mobility mechanics by introducing new items or adjusting sprint and run speeds. A new item like the rumored Wing would likely become a sought-after tool, especially in Fortnite's Zero Build mode where users can't build to escape sticky situations.
Recently, a different leak claimed that another God of War crossover is possibly coming to Fortnite soon. Users might remember the previous collaboration that saw a Kratos bundle added to the game. Apparently, the leaked Fortnite survey asked users about their opinions on 2005's God of War, suggesting that this bundle will add a younger version of the popular character.
As another follow-up crossover, it seems that Fortnite is planning to introduce its second Jujutsu Kaisen crossover as well. Fortnite's last collaboration with the popular anime, which was added back in August, added a mini battle pass that included skins, backblings, weapon wraps, and more inspired by the popular franchise. It's unclear if the second collaboration, which is still unconfirmed, will be as robust.
