A Fortnite player has discovered that several NPCs have unique dialogue sequences if they interact with them while wearing the ascendant Midas skin. The interaction works quite similarly to the different NPC dialogues players get when using the various society skins in Fortnite.
Will Midas return in Fortnite? Rumours explained
13.03.2024 - 11:11 / radiotimes.com / Will
Several rumours and supposed leaks have started making their way across the web surrounding the return of Midas in Fortnite. Is there any truth to them?
Midas is one of the biggest and most popular antagonists to appear in the battle royale since its inception.
The character made his debut in Chapter 2 Season 2 and, lore-wise, went on to found the spy and military organisations GHOST and SHADOW.
Once a ruler of an unknown kingdom, Midas is also the father of master engineer, Jules.
Now, almost three years after initiating the Device event and unleashing the Storm upon Fortnite island, the man with the golden touch looks to be coming back.
And, allegedly, this will happen with a fan favourite limited-time game mode.
Let's dive into what the internet has been saying, what it all means and whether Midas is really returning to the world of Fortnite.
Chatter began on 8th March 2024 that Midas would be making a comeback (via known Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR), potentially as the instigator of the Floor is Lava limited-time mode. The account shared the following text:
«Midas may have escaped the Underworld, but none left behind will escape his wrath. On his way towards freedom, he enchanted lava with his cursed golden touch, leaving behind the ultimate challenge for immortals and aspiring SHADOW agents alike.
»Rise to survive his wrathful retribution, and witness the dawning of a new golden era."
Data miners then discovered that a reboot card for Midas is found lying under the Underworld in the new Fortnite map, with the villain locked behind a prison cell there too.
A boss battle might ensue by knocking over a statue of Midas, similar to how fights with the Greek gods start.
Another known leaker, iFireMonkey, then shared the many quests that players will be able to complete for the Floor is Lava — with Midas's name scattered among them.

While nothing official has been announced by Epic Games at the time of writing, it does seem probable that Midas is set to return.
Fortnite 'leaks' happen regularly — however, there is so much being shared from many different names in the community that it does appear to be happening.
Of course, there were lots for the supposed Doctor Who collaboration and that was found not to be real, so who knows?
Right now, the battle royale is in the middle of its Myths & Mortals event, with Greek mythology taking over the island.
One of the gods is Hades, who is in control of the Underworld, so this could certainly tie into the return of Midas.
