Moving on with the original message:
What’s going on with Kratos? Everything points to Fortnite: Battle Royale ramping up significantly in the coming weeks and months. The Battle Pass of Season 5, Chapter 2 already shows cool skins like the pancake cowboy “Mancake”.
However, it seems that the star of the God-of-War franchise, Kratos, will receive his own skin in Fortnite. Leaks from dataminers and an ominous tweet from PlayStation suggest this.
Warning, spoilers! We show you here in the article how the new skin looks in the leak. If you don’t want to see this, you should not continue reading.
This is what the Kratos skin looks like
This is what the dataminer shows: On Twitter, dataminer HYPEX shares a photo of Kratos. Along with the announcement for Season 5 in Chapter 2. Apparently, the skin will still be part of Fortnite in the ongoing season.
This is what PlayStation shows: The official PlayStation account shared an audio log on Twitter. You can hear the Fortnite character Jonesy, who is also featured in the story trailer for Season 5.
You can hear Jonesy criticizing himself for researching something that he brought to the island. You would quickly regret it when you find out things you don’t want to know. “Like, for example: The next guy literally defeated several gods! With his bare hands. In a fit of uncontrollable rage.”
When does the skin come out? The confirmation of the skin and an official release date are yet to come from Epic Games. Dataminer Hypex explains that it will happen “soon”.
Kra… who? You don’t know Kratos? No problem. We explain the background here on MeinMMO. The action-adventure “God of War” from 2018 ranks 5th of the most popular PS4 games on Metacritic.
Players take on the role of Kratos, a former Spartan general. His adventures take place in a fantasy world based on Greek mythology. The combo-based battles as well as puzzle and climbing elements from the franchise’s predecessors can also be found here.
During the game, you must survive yourself and show the young Atreus how to survive. Atreus is Kratos’ son.
