Fortnite’s Mythical Update
Fortnite’s latest Chapter 5 Season 2 update, dubbed ‘Myths & Mortals’, has brought a fresh wave of excitement to the gaming community. After a slight delay, the update went live, transitioning from the Underground theme to a season steeped in ancient Greek mythology. Players can now explore new points of interest on the map, such as Grim Gate and Mount Olympus, and encounter guardians from the Greek pantheon.
New Skins and Mythic Weapon
The update isn’t just about new locations; it’s also about new skins and gameplay elements. The notorious character Midas is making a comeback with a new skin that ties into the Greek mythology theme. Alongside Midas, the update teases the addition of the Chains of Hades, a new Mythic weapon, and the return of the popular The Floor is Lava Limited Time Mode (LTM).
The Golden Touch of Midas
Midas, known for his Golden Touch ability, has a storied history within Fortnite. His ability to turn objects into gold by touch is legendary, and this theme carries over to his in-game representation. The female counterpart, Marigold, also features in the game with similar abilities. Leaks suggest that a Midas boss could appear on the Marigold ship, hinting at further developments related to these golden characters.
Looking Forward
As players eagerly await the v29.10 update on March 19, speculation and excitement continue to build around the new content. With the promise of new skins, weapons, and game modes, Fortnite continues to keep its gameplay fresh and engaging for its fan base.
