Global

Jump in with your friends. Play together. Earn rewards.

Get ready, competitors and glory seekers! The latest patch, v29.01, has landed in "Fortnite Battle Royale," and it's not just any update - it's the golden ticket to the Rise of Midas event.

Fortnite New Battle Royale: Rise of Midas

From March 19th to April 2nd, 2024, Midas is making a grand escape and needs your help to flee the Island. Here's everything wrapped up in this glittering update.

Embrace the Rise of Midas and dive into special quests in the "Rise of Midas" event. Track Midas' journey as he ascends from The Underworld and partake in the questline to earn exclusive in-game rewards. The intensity heats up with the returning "Floor is Lava" challenge and puts your survival tactics to the ultimate test in the "Rise of Midas Cup."

Quests and Rewards: A Golden Opportunity

The quests are split into five phases, rolling out sequentially and introducing with "Midas Rises." The forthcoming quests will unlock over the days, bringing you challenges like "Et Tu, Brutus?" and "The Great Marigold Yacht Heist." Completion of these quests doesn't only reward you with the satisfaction of assisting Midas but also grants in-game treasures:

- Earn six Quests and unlock the Cerberus Medallion Spray.

- Complete 12 to acquire the Rose of Avarice Back Bling.

- Triumph in 18 to unriddle the Queen in Gold Glider.

Returning "Floor is Lava"

Jump into the Midas-touched version of the classic "Floor is Lava" mode, now filled with elements from Chapter 5 Season 2 and shimmering with golden lava. Success brings not only glory but also the chance to claim the Lightning King and Zeus Medallion Sprays, and The Gilded Vengeance Pickaxe—a symbol of Midas' deepest revenge.

Midas' Golden Gear

Starting March 26, you can cloak yourself in the finery of Midas with his Ascendant Outfit, the Golden King's Cape Back Bling, and the Golden Touch Pickaxe, all adorned with the new Shade Style option, as spectral as Midas' affinity for gold. And for a superlative finish, the Golden Ascension Wrap will also shine for purchase!

Rise of Midas Cup

Flex your solo skills in the Rise of Midas Cup on March 24th. Rise to the top in your region to snag the Ascendant Midas Outfit and Golden King's Cape Back Bling ahead of their store debut. Scoring at least eight points rewards you with The Rise of Midas Loading Screen, revealing itself with v29.10. Battle through ten matches in your accorded three-hour time window, and make sure you're locked, loaded, and eligible (Account Level 15+ and Two-Factor Authentication enabled).

Ready, Set, Gold!

The v29.01 patch ignites the battlefield with a lustrous Midas theme and an array of golden opportunities. Get ready to show off your Midas touch, secure the gold, and remember - all that glitters in "Fortnite" is not just gold, it could be your ticket to eternal Battle Royale infamy.
