“I’m so excited,” Fortnite gamers shout as Chapter 5, Season 2 skins leak
A NEW Fortnite season is upon us, and leaks suggest us mortals will be launched into a world of Greek mythology.
Chapter 5, Season 2 is expected to launch on Friday, March 8, so let’s take a look at what could be coming to your console soon.

Hides
According to Hypex on X (formerly Twitter), the Fortnite Battle Pass will include these skins:
- Zeus
- Cerberus
- Hades
- Aphrodite
- Poseidon
- Jellyfish
- Artemis
- Ares
- Odyssey
It is possible that Medusa will come with two variants.
The Odyssey skin can also be a free reward, with six ranked variants – ranging from Silver to Platinum – that players earn as they level up.
If the leaks are true, fans believe this Battle Pass will be one of Epic’s best.
“This will be the best Battle Pass in a LONG time if we actually get all these skins,” says Fortnite leaker @ShiinaBR wrote on X.
Another tweeted: “I’m excited for this one lowkey.”
A third player wrote: “This is easily the TOP three Battle Pass of all time.”
Weapons
Fortnite’s teaser image for Hades suggests that the skin will be accompanied by a fiery chain or whip, which may be available in-game or used as a glider.
There’s also talk of a shiny new Cerberus Shotgun, which could be part of the four mythic items.
In terms of new edibles, a golden speed boost apple is thought to be making an appearance, among other divine abilities.
Skills
According to Fortnite leaker SpushFNBR, in Chapter 5, Season 2, players will be able to fly using Hermes’ Wings.
Hermes is the Greek God usually depicted wearing winged sandals known as Talaria.
The official channel for Fortnite competitions on X hinted at the addition of flying yesterday.
In a tweet, Fortnite Competitive wrote: “Do you know how to run or sprint during a race? Let’s say you can do something else…”
Card
As with every new Fortnite season, there are several Points of Interest (POIs).
Gamers think the most likely landing spot to be replaced is Ruined Reels, where the Titan Hand live event took place.
Considering that Pandora’s Box opened in that area, I’d be shocked if it escaped unscathed this season.
In terms of our predictions, Reckless Railways will likely take the hit, as Greek mythology was born long before the Industrial Revolution.
Fencing Fields may also disappear given the inability to work with the theme.
Ruined Reels, which is located between both locations, could remain in existence while the amphitheater is revamped into something more old.
We also expect the ice to melt somewhat as we move into spring, indicating that some snow-covered patch could be replaced.
Mini-bosses
According to reports, the current mini-bosses are expected to be replaced by monsters that act as minions for the Gods.
Although it is unclear exactly what these will look like.
Collaborations
Collaborations with other franchises, brands, animes, and musicians are Fortnite’s bread and butter.
Epic made around $50 million from the Fortnite X NFL partnership – which wasn’t even the game’s biggest.
Fortnite’s collaboration with Marvel and Star Wars is expected to have trumped these revenues, although Epic doesn’t know the exact numbers.
In Chapter 5, Season 2, there are rumors of playtests @TunaDrift that Fortnite will collaborate with anime video game Persona 3 or Persona 5.
Fortnite may also have a second wave of its Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration, as game developers appear to be working on a JJK Cup for Season 2, according to @LeakySussed.
Or Fortnite could ride on the current Dune hype to roll out the franchise in game form.
Popular leak @TunaDrift noted that the existing Kratos skin could return alongside his son Atreus, also known as Atreides – which is the origin of Paul Atreides’ bloodline.
Although this theory is the least likely.
