Summary
It has become evident thatFortniteChapter 5 Season 2 will have an ancient Greek mythology theme. The subject has gotten the fanbase quite excited for what’s to come, and players have started to make their own wishlists for the upcoming season.
AncientGreek mythologyis quite extensive, so there are a lot of ideas that might come into play next season, not only as characters on the map but as Battle Pass and Item Shop skins. This article will list some of the characters from ancient Greek myths that should make it into the upcomingFortniteseason.
6Athena
Goddess of War and Wisdom
Athena would fit right in with the theme of the ancient gods. She is one of the most prominent goddess in Greek mythology and makes an appearance in many importances instances in its history. Nike, goddess of victory, is oftentimes associated with Athena. Both women would make a great addition toFortniteas they represent some of the most important aspects of the game.
There is a chance that Athena will be added to the game under a different name. TheOdyssey NPCwas added to aFortniteskin survey under the name Athena, so it could be that this is a revamped version of the goddess.
5Hephaestus
God of Fire
Hephaestus is known as the god of many things, namely fire. TheTitan Hand that rose out of the groundnear Ruined Reels was overcome by magma before it cooled down and turned into rock; it is possible that this hand might’ve belonged to Hephaestus. It would make sense given the fact that the hand held up Pandora’s Box, which was originally created by Hephaestus himself.
It is not uncommon for a season’s secret skin to be related to its lore. So, if Hephaestus is indeed added toFortnite, he could be the Battle Pass secret skin, which players can typically unlock a few weeks into the season.
4Persephone
Queen of the Underworld
Persephone is one of the most known women in ancient Greek mythology. She is the Queen of the Underworld, married to its ruler, Hades. The second teaser Chapter 5 Season 2 revealed that Hades would be one of the skins available in the next Battle Pass. It is not uncommon for skin counterparts to be released in the Item Shop, and who would look best by Hades’s side other than his queen?
It is likely that the upcomingFortniteseason will add some themed named locations. Epic Games could add a Underworld-like POI with both Hades and Persephone as the ruling NPCs.
3Typhon
The Giant Dragon-like Monster
Zeus is known as the King of theGods in ancient Greek mythology, so it came as no surprise when he was the first confirmed skin for Chapter 5 Season 2. He was the one who was able to defeat one of the most intimidating mythic creatures, Typhon.
The upcomingFortniteshouldn’t depict only the strongest gods and heroes but also their mightiest enemies. Typhon was a giant dragon-like creature; a hundred snake heads grew out of his upper body, and his eyes were bright with the flames that burned inside. Although an exact copy of this monster would be impossible for mobility,animal-like skinshave been created before so an alternative version would certainly be doable.
2Poseidon
Ruler of the Seas
Not only would Poseidon, God of the Sea, be a great addition as a skin, he would undeniably bring other mighty elements to the game. Every season, players get to try differentMythic rarity weapons inFortnite.
If Poseidon made it into the game, his infamous trident would most likely only be a big part of his set, whether as a Mythic weapon or a harvesting tool.
1Heracles
A Mythic Hero
Heracles, mostly known by his Roman mythology name, Hercules, would definitely be a fan-favorite hero if he made it intoFortnite. There are many depictions of Hercules in modern media, and some of them, such as Disney’sHerculesand Kevin Sorbo’sHercules: The Legendary Journeys, have turned into household classics.
Many gamers are hoping that one of these collabs will become a reality, and it is quite possible, especially considering how Epic Games and Disney are partnering up and the fact that they have worked together to make dozens ofFortnitecosmetics in the past.
