The Ghost of Sparta appears to be Fortnites next big skin
Fortnite is no stranger to tie-ins the battle royales season 5 battle pass has already kicked off with a picture-perfect Mandalorian and Baby Yoda skin, for example but its next character appears to be coming not from a popular film or movie franchise, but from a different video game universe: God of Wars Kratos.
The image, first posted by noted leaker HYPEX on Twitter, depicted a version of the Ghost of Sparta (in his more recent, bearded form from 2018s God of War), albeit with a softer animated style look thats more in line with Fortnites art style.
Another tease from the PlayStation account further hints at Kratos pending arrival, with an unseen character panicking about the next guy youre picking up has literally vanquished multiple gods with his bare hands in a fit of uncontrollable rage a description that matches Kratos to a T.
The current season of Fortnitefeatures multiple hunters from different realities that have been brought to the island in the wake of the universe-shattering fight with Galactus. In that vein, Kratos seems to fit right in. That said, as one of Sonys marquee first-party characters, it is a little jarring to see that Kratos will be joining a third-party game that exists on nearly every gaming platform like Fortnite.
Its not clear yet when the Kratos skin will be available, if itll be something that players will have to purchase or can earn in-game, or even if itll be available to players on platforms other than the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. But with Sonys official account already teasing the character, we likely wont have long to wait before a more formal announcement.
Kratos — the star of Sony’s God of War games — appears to be the next major skin that will be added to Fortnite, according to a new leak. It’s not yet clear whether the skin will be exclusive to PlayStation players or how he’ll be obtained in-game.
