Fortnite Poseidon Outfit
Epic Games chose a fun and quirky approach to portraying the god of the seas, Poseidon. Does he look familiar? It's actually the classic Fortnite outfit Rippley, re-imagined as a god. So far, the Fortnite community isn't loving this skin.
Who is Poseidon in Fortnite?: Poseidon is the ruler of the sea, storms, earthquakes, and horses. His weapon of choice is a trident, which he uses to command the oceans. Poseidon is one of the most important Greek Gods, along with his two brothers - Hades and Zeus.
Fortnite Hades Outfit
Hades is re-imagined in dark clothes and a golden mask. The green light in his eyes adds an eerie feeling to this Fortnite skin. The big crown is really fit for the king of the Underworld.
Who is Hades in Fortnite: Hades is the god of the underworld and the ruler of the dead. Despite being one of the major Olympian gods, he lives in the underworld, being the 'misunderstood' brother from the big 3 (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades). Hades is feared and respected by mortals and gods alike, as a 'Grim Reaper' type of figure. His domain includes not only the souls of the dead but also wealth hidden beneath the earth - metals and gems. Despite his association with death, Hades is not an evil deity, as he maintains the natural order of life. His soft side is shown in myths about his relationship with Persephone, whom he made the queen of the underworld.

Fortnite Medusa Outfit
The Medusa skin is incredibly stylish, mixing snakeskin for the clothes with actual purple snakes for hair. Although we have to admit, this outfit gives off more Egyptian vibes than Greek.
Who is Medusa in Fortnite?: Medusa is known for her hair of snakes and her ability to turn anyone who gazes upon her into stone. Before she turned into a monster, she was a beautiful woman who was cursed by Athena after being assaulted by Poseidon in Athena's temple. In some versions of the story, the god seduces her, and this situation serves as a lesson about lust and greed. However, recently, Medusa has been viewed as a victim and has become a symbol for sexual assault survivors.
Fortnite Zeus Outfit
Zeus is sporting golden armor to complement his crown. He appears younger than his usual depiction, fitting with the game's aesthetic.
Who is Zeus in Fortnite?: Zeus is the main god in Greek mythology. He is the god of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice. While Zeus is typically depicted as a mature and bearded fatherly figure, in Fortnite, he appears a bit more youthful. The god is also known for his many romantic affairs and numerous children, despite being married to Hera.
