Welcome to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortnite.com\/news\/make-history-in-fortnite-battle-royale-chapter-5-season-2-myths-mortals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths and Mortals<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the launch of the new season comes a new map, a new Battle Pass, and a whole host of exciting new abilities and features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, four new map areas are known about: Grim Gate, the portal to the Underworld; The Underworld, the home of Hades; Mount Olympus, the home of Zeus; and Brawler\u2019s Battleground, the arena of Ares. Keep an eye on our <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/fortnite-chapter-5-season-2-map-pois-locations-and-more\/\">Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 map page<\/a> for more info and updates as we get them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for new skins for Season 2, seven have been confirmed, including Cerberus which you get when you purchase the Battle Pass. There\u2019s also an as-yet-<a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/fortnite-leak-claims-avatar-the-last-airbender-event-is-on-the-way\/\">unconfirmed leak that we\u2019ll be getting a skin of Aang<\/a> from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

As if that wasn\u2019t cool enough, you can also find the Wings of Icarus, which allow you to soar through the skies and take enemies unaware from above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these abilities have their own limitations of course \u2013 The Thunderbolt of Zeus has only three charges, and the Wings of Icarus will burn up and melt away if you rely on them too much (very thematic).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As if that wasn\u2019t enough, there will also be a third power introduced partway through the Season, the Chains of Hades \u2013 keep an eye open for an update that gives more details about that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Featured image credit: Epic Games<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/fortnites-new-season-brings-greek-gods-to-the-battle-royale\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] One of the internet\u2019s best-known Fortnite leakers proves their chops again as the new Greek Mythology season launches today, March 8.
