Midas returns to Fortnite soon, and he’s getting a brand-new skin to match Chapter 5 Season 2’s ancient Greek mythology theme
Fortnite will release the first update of Chapter 5 Season 2 soon, and gamers will get to enjoy tons of new content, including a mythology-inspired Midas skin, a fan-favorite LTM, and a never-seen-before mythical weapon. Chapter 5 Season 2 was supposed to launch on March 8, in the early hours. However, it was unexpectedly delayed due to technical issues and only came out later in the evening – on March 9, in some countries. For many fans, it was worth the wait as Fortnite left the Underground theme behind and welcomed several Greek gods to the island for the Myths & Mortals season, based on ancient Greek tales and legends.
Several named locations were added to the Season 2 map. Grim Gate and The Underground were based on Hades’s frightening realm, and Mount Olympus and Brawler’s Battleground were based on ancient Greek temples of worship and training. While exploring these POIs, players were also able to meet several guardians of the Olympus. These characters from ancient Greek mythology can also be obtained in the Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass. However, there are still tons of more themed skins that gamers would like to see in Fortnite.

Midas is one of the most notorious characters in Fortnite; he was introduced back in Chapter 2 Season 2, and it seems that he will return to steal the spotlight once the v29.10 update drops. Fortnite confirmed that Midas will return to the game on March 19, which means it’ll be brought back on Tuesday after the update comes out.

When Is the Next Fortnite Update?
- Tuesday, March 19
It had already been leaked that there would be a new Midas skin in Fortnite. This only makes sense considering his connection with Greek mythology. King Midas is known for his Golden Touch ability, which he obtained by wishing that everything he touched would turn to gold. His greed cursed him, as he lost the ability to touch the things, he loved the most without ruining them, including his own daughter, Marigold, which he also turned into a golden statue.
Marigold, also known as the female Midas skin, is also available in Fortnite as part of the Golden Touch Quest Pack. Marigold gradually turns golden as she eliminates other players, and both skins are able to turn their weapons to gold when they add them to their inventory. It is very likely that the upcoming Midas will also have the Golden Touch ability. According to leaks, a Midas boss will appear on the Marigold ship, a landmark on the western side of the island. Given their connection, it’s possible that Marigold’s Quest Pack could return to the Item Shop.
