It's good timing for this particular crossover, as the 2018 God of War was received well critically and commercially, while the yet-untitled God of War sequel is set to arrive on the PS5 in 2021. Yes, it's still untitled per the developers at Sony Santa Monica — while many are assuming the name is God of War: Ragnarok, that isn't actually confirmed.
The Kratos skin is part of Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 5, so there will no doubt be some special requirements before you can unlock this hulking warrior. If you're looking to jump in and grab this PlayStation icon for use in battle royale, consider picking up some of the best gamepads for Fortnite. For anyone who is looking to grab everything a season has to offer and snag some extra V-Bucks, there's the new Fortnite Crew subscription.
