SUMMARY

- Fortnite is known for bringing skins from many different franchises and other aspects of life.
Fortnite is currently running its Chapter 5 Season 1, which is also the twenty-eighth season of the Battle Royale mode. The season went live on December 3, 2023, and made huge changes to the game’s Battle Royale mode.
Season 1 also saw some huge and unexpected collaborations that came to the game which included Peter Griffin, Eminem, and Solid Snake. All of these changes made it possible for the game to garner the interest of its fans back.
Additionally, as Season 1 is coming to an end, fans are now pulling their socks up for Season 2. However, Epic Games have managed to keep a light lid on the information about the upcoming season. Despite this, there have been rumors and leaks circulating the Fortnite community about what to expect in the next season.
Fortnite leaks suggest Zeus coming to the game
The theme for Fortnite’s upcoming Chapter 5 Season 2 will be based on ancient Greek mythology, according to the ongoing speculation and leaks circulating on the internet. It shouldn’t come as a surprise given that Kratos appeared in the game starting in Chapter 2 of Season 5.
This information has come out from trusted leakers in the Fortnite community like ShiinaBR, HYPEX, Guille_GAG, and FNChiefAko who got their hands on several data files from the game itself.
In addition, according to these leakers, the next chapter of Fortnite will be called “Aiga,” which means “Goat” in Greek. The leaks also suggest that the boss for the upcoming Season 2 will arrive via lightning, which provides a significant clue regarding Zeus, the God of Gods coming to Fortnite.

Moreover, according to the leakers and data miners, Chapter 5 Season 2 is also rumored to feature a skin called “Odyssey” that is inspired by the three-headed creature that watches over the underworld. The leaked files also show a skin that looks to be based around Athena.
The rumored theme also opens up the potential for collaborations with other aspects of Greek mythology, such as the coming back of Kratos from God of War, Zagreus from Hades, and possibly even Disney’s Hercules. All these now seem more feasible after Epic Games got major investments from Disney.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 release date
According to earlier reports, February 23, 2024, was thought to be the release date for the Chapter 5 Season 2. However, once the announcement came that Chapter 5 Season 1 would run until March 2024, these speculations were dispelled.
Therefore, according to the latest rumors players can anticipate the release date for Chapter 5 Season 2 to be on March 8, 2024. This is because Chapter 5 Season 1 is confirmed to conclude on that day. Following that, the Fortnite servers will go offline and are expected to prepare for the release of the second season.
