Is Midas Returning in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2? Answered
Fans hoping for the return of Midas in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 might finally get their wish.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is still two weeks away, yet leaks are already teasing what players can expect in the major update. Following Fortnite Underground, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is set to be Greek mythology themed, with ancient, godly powers unleashing on the island. The new lore bleeds into the cosmetics coming in the fresh season, introducing gods and goddesses to Epic Games' Battle Royale in both the Battle Pass and the Item Shop.
In a season full of otherworldly beings, it only makes sense for Midas to join in on the fun, right?
There hasn’t been anything about Midas at all this update.

But since Midas is related to Greek Mythology I assume he’s still going to return next season.

Is Midas Returning in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2? Answered
Yes, Midas is likely returning in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. In a season dominated by Greek mythology, it is the perfect time for Midas to come back to Epic Games' Battle Royale. The man whose touch turns everything to gold is surely a main player among the other Greek heroes arriving on Mar. 8, 2024.
The iconic skin was released in the Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass back in February 2020, and has remained one of the best Tier 100 skins Epic Games has ever offered. Although Midas is not as rare of a skin as other early OG options, like Aerial Assault Trooper, he is still someone fans would love to see back in the Item Shop, or at least in the next season's lore.
Is Kratos Returning in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2? Answered
As of now, it is unknown if Kratos will return in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. The God of War protagonist would also fit in with the Greek mythology theme, and would be a welcome sight after a short collaboration at the end of 2020. In fact, Kratos is one of the rarest skins in all of Fortnite; he was last seen in the Item Shop 1,071 days ago.
Reliable Fortnite leaker, HYPEX, is optimistic Kratos could return in the next Fortnite season, writing, "Hopefully we get the Greek-era Kratos with his blades next season, given the strong hints of a Greek Mythology theme. Maybe that's even why they kept the one we have now in the vault for 3 years."
Stay tuned for more intel on Midas and Kratos as Chapter 5 Season 2 approaches.
