Summary
AsFortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 2 update approaches, Epic Games has teased a new movement ability that seems to be flying-related. Previous leaks regardingFortnite’s major March 8 update may have already revealed what this will be.
ArecentFortniteleakclaimed that Chapter 5 Season 2 introduces four new bosses, a POI called Olympus, an item called the Gold Apple, and more. The four bosses will be based on various figures from Greek mythology, which is apparently the overarching theme for the season. After being defeated, these bosses will drop new mythic weapons, such as Zeus' Lightning Bolt and Hades' Fire Chain. The leak also mentioned a new feature called the Wing, which is apparently a usable item with a 30-second cooldown that can be found in chests.
A recentFortnitetweet seems to have teased this new item by posting an image of a winged individual outlined by a constellation. Additionally, the official FNCompetitive Twitter account posted a message that read, “You know how you can walk or sprint when competing? Let’s say you’ll be able to do something else.” While it seems likely that these tweets are hinting at the rumored Wing item, it should be emphasized that the item is still unconfirmed and the Fortnite Twitter accounts could be teasing something else. The previously mentioned Gold Apple was another mobility-related item included in the leak, which apparently gives the user a speed boost after consuming it.
New Mobility Item Possibly Coming in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2
Fortniteoften makes changes to its mobility mechanicsby introducing new items or adjusting sprint and run speeds. A new item like the rumored Wing would likely become a sought-after tool, especially inFortnite’s Zero Build mode where users can’t build to escape sticky situations.
Recently, a different leak claimed that anotherGod of Warcrossover is possibly coming toFortnitesoon. Users might remember the previous collaboration that saw a Kratos bundle added to the game. Apparently, the leakedFortnitesurvey asked users about their opinions on 2005’sGod of War, suggesting that this bundle will add a younger version of the popular character.
As another follow-up crossover, it seems thatFortniteis planning to introduce its secondJujutsu Kaisencrossover as well.Fortnite’s last collaboration with the popular anime, which was added back in August, added a mini battle pass that included skins, backblings, weapon wraps, and more inspired by the popular franchise. It’s unclear if the second collaboration, which is still unconfirmed, will be as robust.
