Epic Games Confirms Midas’ Return to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

Epic Games has finally confirmed the rumors surrounding the return of Fortnite’s most iconic antagonist. Midas, who originally arrived on the scene in Chapter 2, Season 2, is back.

This announcement from the Fortnite X account came with no pomp or frills, just two words: “Midas returns.” Plus, an image of Midas walking away with a gun held up above his head, leaving those he defeated behind. He’s also walking toward a bright-green light and what seems like smoke or fog – likely a reference to the Underworld.

I know rumours have been swirling about Midas coming back for a long while, but out of all the ideas about how and when he could return, this season makes the most sense. I mean, we’re right in the middle of Myths & Mortals, showcasing Fortnite‘s rendition of Zeus, Mount Olympus, and more. What better time than to bring back the fallen king of Greek mythology and his golden touch?

Now, when people ask, “Is Midas back in Fortnite?” we can finally answer, yes.
