God of War's Kratos smashes into Fortnite item shop

Season 5 of Fortnite has brought us unexpected surprises, from a map with certain connections to the original map, to new weapons, and a Battle Pass loaded with new rewards, highlighting those referring to the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda.

However, a new addition to the skins roster makes its arrival today, as a few moments ago one of the most unusual but highly anticipated releases in the game has just been released in the Item Shop: Kratos, from the famous PlayStation series, God of War.

The victor of countless battles against gods and valkyries, Kratos turns to tackle the chaos of an exposed Zero Point.

This was not a secret as such, since yesterday a series of leaks were reported with a promotional image announcing his appearance in the game. However, this has been officially announced as soon as it was leaked.

The price of the Kratos skin will be 2200 V-Bucks, which comes in a package that includes a Guardian Shield parachute, a Leviathan Axe pickaxe, and a backpack with Mimir's head, all brought from the PS4’s game, God of War.

In addition, as a special reward, PlayStation 5 players will be able to get the exclusive Armored Kratos skin, something that looks pretty well shod on the God of War.

Finally, contrary to what had been speculated, this skin and package will be available for players of any platform, and not only for owners of the PlayStation versions.

Will we see more collaborations with Xbox and Nintendo characters and franchises in the future?
