UPDATE 4/12/20: Oh boy. Kratos is now available in Fortnite on all platforms as part of today’s in-game item shop.
To be clear, Kratos is available on all Fortnite platforms – including Xbox One and Series X/S – though anyone playing on PlayStation 5 gets a second golden armour style.
As well as the god himself (with decapitated Mimir back bling) you can also get a Guardian Shield glider and Leviathan Axe pickaxe, which comes with a frosty built-in emote.

Kratos is the first of a new character rarity type in Fortnite – Video Game Legends – which points to more popular familiar faces popping up in the future. (Indeed, images which appear to show a certain Xbox chief coming next have already leaked. No, it’s not Phil Spencer.)

ORIGINAL STORY 2/12/20: Fortnite’s latest season has been live for less than a day, but already there’s confirmation that more than just Star Wars’ Mandalorian and Baby Yoda will be showing up to do a turn in Epic’s cross-media marketing juggernaut (and battle royale game), starting with God of War’s Kratos.
