Update: Yeah, the new Fortnite trailer featuring Kratos is pretty darn cool, but you ain't seen nothing until you've seen the God of War performing some emotes:
It's like discovering a whole new side to the iconic character.
Original Story: Yeah, alright, we get it. You probably dislike Fortnite despite the fact it's hardly doing much harm. However, you've got to admit this trailer for Kratos' appearance in the gigantic Battle Royale title is pretty darn cool. The God of War protagonist features alongside the head of Mimir after the Greek powerhouse kills a werewolf that was primed and ready to attack a Fortnite character. Good stuff, Kratos.
The trailer also provided a quick glimpse of what the set will look like once upgraded, with gold-plated armour. There'll also be a Mimir Back Bling, the Leviathan Axe Pickaxe with built-in Freezing Burst Emote, and the Guardian Shield Glide. It's not a crossover we really ever expected to see, but a cool moment nonetheless.
Sony Santa Monica's Cory Barlog said: "Having Kratos in Fortnite is a mashup that we’ve been talking about for a long time, so it’s especially gratifying to see the collaboration come to fruition! The first thing I’ll do with Kratos in the game is hold hands or maybe go for a moonlit stroll with Mancake. I’m most excited about the Guardian Shield glider, that thing is AWESOME. I want to give a big thanks to all the devs over at Epic for the incredible job they did realizing Kratos in Fortnite. I’m truly in awe of their talent and passion."

Well they got my money lol
Wonder if it’ll be a Soulcalibur deal and Xbox will get Master Chief.
@nessisonett Already strongly rumoured I believe. In fact, I think it leaked.
Looks pretty dope imo! I don't play that much Fortnite anymore, it's just too complicated nowadays...but this and Mando skin are awesome!
@get2sammyb Yeah, pretty much everything Fortnite related leaks. It would make sense.
Something cool with something not cool pass
Does he cost money ?
@Mrbayram92 No, you just need to play a full match on PS5.
EDIT: My mistake, that's for the armoured style! You can buy the standard style with in-game credits from the game's shop.
Okay, I'm actually tempted to give Fortnite a try just to play as Kratos.

This only makes me hate kratos and sony. Fortnite sucks
Kratos wielding the blades of Athena would've been my preference over the Leviathan axe, hopefully unlockable. A great addition along with the Mandalorian. Marvel a hard act to follow but this gives me hope. I will never make him do that dance tho. Kratos doing the robot will be my default
KraFloss.
Can't wait for Kirby in Fortnite.
N.i.c.e w.o.r.d.u.p.s.o.n
How would this make us like Fortnite exactly? Pretty sure some people like me don’t play it for the exact reasons why this skin exists... shameless soulless cash grab tugging at our pop culture nostalgia or love for actual good games that aren’t this! To end on a positive note Fortnite keeps the kiddos and strange adults who play it off the games I enjoy playing online...
@get2sammyb in other words, NO he’s not free. Costs real money to buy “in game credits” although I’ve never heard em called that. They’re V-bucks
Not sure how I feel about this.
Harmless enough, I guess. Makes Kratos look like a pansy though. Kinda like putting him in a silly looking Santa hat. Preposterous.
I actually want fortnite like game with all of the playstation characters, including a place just to relax. Basically Playstation Home PS5 😃
Kratos with emote dance is weird and off putting though.
There's a piece of me that will never return after watching Kratos do a kitty dance ☹️
@Papasears Agreed
He is hungry for...Pancakes!
Should have put the World Serpent in there instead.
Pretty cringe not gonna lie, but his model looks really good in Fortnite. Too bad I hate Fortnite. Just not for me.
I really needed that dancin Katros vid 😂
Yes I don't like Fortnite but the kratos skin did make me chuckle still 😆
I'm amazed he's not exclusive to just PS4 and 5
I get it, that Fortnite is this huge thing, but I don't care about it. Yet everytime I turn on my PS5 I get Fortnite advertisements. It's the first thing I see via the "Explore" tab or app.
I can't choose what I do or don't want to see from that thing, let alone disable it all together. It's just annoying AF to have what is essentially the Fortnite advertisement app the first thing I see when I turn the PS5 on.
@nessisonett You don't need a PS4 to buy him. I played on Switch last night when he popped in the store.
Looks like Epic is managing to get everyone to play nice together and everyone will be purchasable on every system. Though I'm sure there will be platform-specific benefits.
@wiiware PS4 never got a Home like service did it?
My family spent like an hour last night in Wii mode on our Wii U making fun of all the Miis we made 10 years ago. Then we downloaded a whole bunch of games I forgot I owned like Majora's Mask and World of Goo - one of the best ever Wiimote pointing games. Wara wara plaza was kinda sad though.
Surprised so many people are complaining about a character like Kratos getting exposure to the masses in a game like Fortnite instead of complaining that Kratos is now playable on Switch. 😂
Fortnite is a game changer for this.. literally.. hopefully we can see more of our console exclusive characters come to Fortnite.. Nathan Drake, Master Chief, even Zelda in Fortnite would be amazing.. or Ash with Pikachu.. I know Nintendo doesn’t like putting guns in their characters hands but maybe.. just maybe
Good job Epic for changing this industry for the better one step at a time.. they even kicked Apples ass.. rock on!
@rjejr Playstation Home will be at home (no pun intended lol) on ps5, since the loading will be superfast and the ps5 power can used to make big city filled with players avatars
I don't see many people complain kratos is playable on switch though, most people complain kratos dance is weird
@wiiware "most people complain kratos dance is weird"
Guess they have their priorities.
Just like actors game characters have their niche. The god of destruction has nothing to do with fortnite. I just cant see the two together
