Age of Mythology: Retold Coming to Xbox and PC Later This Year

Greetings, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

After cracking open its virtual Pandora’s Box using the magical key of “shooting it with a lot of bullets”, Fortnite’s mythical next season is due to roll out later today. Chapter 5 Season 2 - or Myths & Mortals, if you prefer - will bring a pantheon of god powers, locations from Greek mythology and, uh, Korra from the Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel, who has a gun now I guess.

Epic Games has announced the arrival of Chapter 5, Season 2 in Fortnite. This season is largely themed around Greek mythology, featuring gods like Hades and Zeus.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 adds an Ancient Greece theme to the online shooter, with new skins for the various Gods like Zeus, weapons, powers like the Wings of Icarus, as well as another collaboration with Nickelodeon. Part of the appeal of Fortnite is the fact that the game is always evolving, with new seasons introducing big new mechanics as well as new gameplay components. However, for many fans, Chapter 5 Season 1's biggest contributions were the arrival of Rocket Racing and LEGO Fortnite, modes that gave fans a completely fresh way to play.

An all-new season of Fortnite launches today, and although many of us have our sights set on the incredible Greek god-themed weapons and skins, a large group of sleuths have been busy trying to solve a mystery introduced by one of the season's trailers. 

Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 2 has arrived. Dubbed «Myths & Mortals,» the latest season of Epic Games popular battle royale is themed around Greek mythology and its various gods and goddesses. As today marks the start of a new season (after the usual downtime, of course), there's a new battle pass to earn and it features plenty of great skins. Plus, the new season introduces several new points of interest to visit, weapons to use, and more. 

The battle for Olympus is ready to begin in Fortnite, with Epic revealing details on the map, mythic weapons, the Myths and Mortals Battle Pass, and more. Particularly exciting for Fortnite fans is that Chapter 5 Season 2 introduces flying mechanics via the Wings of Icarus, offering new and interesting ways to traverse the map in service of hunting your foes.

Fans of Fortnite have been hitting the books in an effort to spin up theories rooted in Greek mythology to try to explain what’s going on in the world of the game. It all started when a giant stone hand appeared in game’s world. This hand, which players call the Titan Hand, came bearing a mysterious locked chest. Players worked together and eventually destroyed the chains locking the box, but doing so came with consequences. It unleashed a fiery pillar of energy onto the land. Now, internet sleuths are trying to solve the puzzle of what happened and its deeper meaning.

Hades 2 is targeting an early access release between April and June and can be enjoyed without playing the original roguelike game.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is right around the corner, kicking off on Friday later this week following the breaking of Pandora's Box after players dealt five trillion damage to it in just 24 hours. We already know that the next season is going to revolve around Greek mythology, but we're yet to officially find out what collaborations developer Epic Games is lining up.

After the successful China Hero Project helped bring several great PS5 and PS4 games to a global audience, Sony is doing the same in India, and it's ready to talk about the selected titles. The India Hero Project is aiding a set of five games from Indian developers, all of which are heading to PS5 as well as PC.

Hades, the acclaimed rogue-like dungeon-crawler from developer Supergiant — and by 'acclaimed', we're talking Game-of-the-Year levels of good here — launches for iOS as part of a Netflix subscription later this month, on 19th March.
