Fortnitehas just released a short but impressive trailer for its latest new skin. Players will now be able to charge into the island asGod of War’s Kratos, the next featured skin arriving inFortnite’s Chapter 2, Season 5.
Launching only a few days ago, Season 5 of Epic Games' popular battle royale is certainly generating plenty of buzz. Players are already facing off with the newThe MandalorianMythic Boss, and now theGod of Waris crossing over into the fight against the Loop.

The trailer begins with one ofFortnite’s new original hunters, Mancake. The breakfast item fearfully treads through what looks like Weeping Woods, unaffected byFortnite’s Season 5’s map changes. It’s a full moon, and ominous music builds a sense of tension. Suddenly, what appears to be a werewolf charges toward the sentient flapjacks. Mancake shakily raises his revolvers, but a certain bearded, axe-wielding warrior leaps up and over to eliminate the werewolf before he gets a shot off.
The next shot gives players a close-up on the PlayStation protagonist, who comes complete with Mimir and the Leviathan Axe. The remainder of the trailer then sees Kratos turn around to give Mancake a kind of snarl. This scares him enough to drop his guns, and high-tail it in the opposite direction.
Fortniteplayers can get the Kratos skin either by itself or as part of the Kratos Bundle, which comes with the full Oathbreaker Set. This set includes the Guardian Shield Glider, Leviathan Axe Pickaxe, and Mimir Back Bling. There’s also a custom Kratos emote, called Freezing Burst, as part of the set. It should be noted that the Freezing Burst emote is the first-ever built-in pickaxe emote inFortnite. Players are also able to unlock an Armored Kratos variant, a celebration of the character’s PlayStation legacy. However, it does come with one huge catch. Players will have to complete a round on a PS5. Given the PlayStation CEO’s latest comments aboutabsolutely every PS5 being sold, Armored Kratos looks to be quite the rare skin, at least for now.
The new elements and characters being brought into theFortnitemeta should satisfy players who feel the game has gotten boring. The ambivalence of pulling characters from different realities really opens the door for any character to appear in the game. Players can expect just about anyone to appear, and a recent leak indicates that Epic Games is just getting started. A dataminer is sayingMaster Chief and several iconicHaloweaponsare coming to the game. Things are about to get even more interesting.
Fortniteis free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
