Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8: Glimpses of Midas raises his chances of arrival

The short animated video that was recently released shows the stealthy skills of "The Burning Wolf". The entire video demonstrates its valor and combat techniques, however, the significant point of interest is at the end of the clip.

The Burning Wolf was coming for the central protagonist, but it only managed to lay its hand upon a sheet of paper with a golden handprint. This explicitly reveals that it was coming for Midas.

The clip doesn't end at this point, as viewers can see the focus moving away from the Burning Wolf, and reveal a workstation. The one sitting there has hands of gold with tattoos closely resembling those in Midas' hand. There is a golden gun nearby and the file contains the A.L.T.E.R. logo.

It is speculated that Midas was trying out whether Burning Wolf could undertake risky jobs and join the First Shadows.

The glimpse of Midas has already excited gamers as everyone expects him to return to Fortnite soon. The excitement is more due to the fact that Epic will definitely edit the cosmetic and roll out Midas in a brand new avatar.

Gamers are already hyped up about the prospect and are looking forward to getting hold of the coveted skin in Fortnite Season 8. Midas's previous visit was marked with the character arriving in a summer-themed outfit.

No official dates have been provided regarding the release and gamers will have to wait patiently. The short animated trailer was initially released by the developers, which was scrapped off soon after. Whether there is some kind of delay in bringing Midas back to the island will be clear in the coming days.
