Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 2 Begins Today With New Skins, Locations, Weapons, And More

Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 2 has arrived. Dubbed «Myths & Mortals,» the latest season of Epic Games popular battle royale is themed around Greek mythology and its various gods and goddesses. As today marks the start of a new season (after the usual downtime, of course), there's a new battle pass to earn and it features plenty of great skins.
