Fortnite's latest venture into nostalgia takes players back to ancient Greece with the launch of Chapter 5: Season 2, aptly named "Myths & Mortals." Epic Games has infused the battle royale experience with Greek mythology, inviting players to embody legendary gods, traverse Mount Olympus, and wield the powerful thunderbolt of Zeus. Before the grand launch, an engaging in-game event centered around Pandora's box set the stage.
The update introduces several mythological settings to the map, including the majestic Mount Olympus and the ominous underworld guarded by the fearsome Cerberus. Accompanying these locales are a plethora of new power-ups and items to discover. Players can equip the Wings of Icarus for flight, harness Zeus' bolts to ascend into the sky and unleash lightning upon foes, and anticipate the arrival of the Chains of Hades weapon in the later stages of the season.
Of course, a new season means a fresh battle pass, offering players the opportunity to unlock a plethora of iconic Greek gods. From the enchanting Aphrodite to the petrifying Medusa, and even a charming Slurp Juice version of Poseidon, there's a diverse lineup to explore. Furthermore, fans can look forward to the inclusion of Korra from the beloved series "The Legend of Korra" as an unlockable character later in the season.
