Collaborations keep popping up in Fortnite, and even though Chapter 5 Season 4, fully themed around Marvel, has just launched, other characters and collaborations can be acquired by following a few steps.
According to some leaks from insiders on X, an alternative variant called Armored Kratos may be available exclusively for PS5 users; this will be a first for a company that has never done this before. An official date for the character’s return to the store or instructions on how to acquire his new style are still pending.
According to Leaks, Fortnite Will Add a New Armored Kratos Variant
This popular battle royale is known for its constant leaks of upcoming content. This year has witnessed an unprecedented surge in rumors, including the leak of the game’s entire roadmap, and thus far, all the forecasts have proven accurate.
Fortnite just introduced its new season, fully themed around Marvel. This season’s main protagonist is the powerful Doctor Doom, who has terraformed the map.
After examining the game’s files, several insiders on X discovered that there would be a new variant of the God of War protagonist. The data suggests that this Armored Kratos will be exclusive to PS5 users and will present a new version of the character with never-before-seen armor.
It seems that the only thing players will need to do to obtain this variant is to complete a full match on Sony’s platform.
God of War Returns to Epic Games’ Popular Title
The fan reaction to this news has been mostly positive, but many are hesitant to get their hopes up until the studio officially confirms it. The leaked image appears to be official, and the armor has never appeared in the game before.
This probably won’t be the only God of War variant to return to the Fortnite store. Armored Kratos has a stunning, completely golden breastplate; Atreus may have an update as well.
Even many sceptical fans are saying that if this turns out to be false and they were misled, they will go after the insider who leaked the information.
The community also expresses concern over the studio’s unusual decision to make a skin variant exclusive to a single platform, suggesting that the variant may not be exclusive to PS5 users. This will be the first time that Epic Games will implement exclusivity by platform.
Epic Games’ official social media accounts have not mentioned this character and are solely focused on the recently launched Chapter 5 Season 4.
One of the features of this season is that it will be packed with Marvel characters and a ton of variants, which has fans more than excited. This time, the main villain will once again be Doctor Doom, with a much more powerful variant.
