Fortnite Teasing New Way to Get Around the Map

As Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 2 update approaches, Epic Games has teased a new movement ability that seems to be flying-related. Previous leaks regarding Fortnite's major March 8 update may have already revealed what this will be.

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 recent Fortnite tweet 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.

Recently, a different leak claimed that another God of War crossover is possibly coming to Fortnite soon. Users might remember the previous collaboration that saw a Kratos bundle added to the game. Apparently, the leaked Fortnite survey asked users about their opinions on
