Fortnite players disappointed by Poseidon skin in Chapter 5 Season 2: “Did em’ dirty”
FortniteFans are disappointed that Poseidon was the one to get a “meme” skin in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
The second season of Chapter 5 has generated immense excitement, especially with the official confirmation of the inclusion of flying mechanics. The season’s theme revolves around Greek mythology, adding an extra layer of anticipation for players.
Fortnite has a tradition of introducing meme-inspired skins in their battle passes with the launch of new seasons. Characters like Meowsicles, Peely, and numerous others have debuted in the franchise through this approach.
For the upcoming season, Fortnite is at it again. This time by turning Poseidon into Rippley from Chapter 2 Season 1. Except this time, fans aren’t sure what to think of this decision.
Fortnite players have mixed feelings about Poseidon’s skin
Players have been eagerly anticipating the Greek mythology-inspired skins since teaser art was released at the start of March. However, the current focus has shifted to the perceived worst skin, with many expressing disappointment in the upcoming release of the Rippley Poseidon skin.
“Why they gotta do Poseidon like that bruv,” asked one commenter.
The top comments on the Poseidon skin reveal reflected being let down that Fortnite turned a beloved Greek god into a slime character. Some, however, found solace in the fact that it wasn’t a muscular Fishstick skin.
“It is my fault for expecting something new from Epic I guess,” said another commenter.
While the Rippley skin may be a flop in the battle pass, the overall reaction to the theme of the upcoming season has generated a lot of hype. Chapter 5 Season 2 “Myths and Mortals” begins on March 8.
