Clearly, things haven't gone his way multiple times, but that doesn't seem to have stopped this major baddie. In a new Fortnite Crew set called The First Shadows, Midas' minions are available for players to claim and use.
The First Shadows Fortnite Crew set
The First Shadows set will be taking over Fortnite Crew for the next three months. The following skins will be available to Fortnite Crew members from September through November:
- September: The Burning Wolf, Midas' first enforcer
- October: Chaos Origins, Midas' first redeemed

For Crew members that collect all three First Shadows skins, a bonus style will be unlocked for each of them. This will be granted as a bonus once the third and final skin is released in November.

Is Midas returning to Fortnite?
Whether from behind the scenes or at the forefront, Midas always seems to be pulling the strings. While he is not included in the First Shadows set, fans are surely hoping to see him once again.
With his most trusted soldiers returning to the battle royale, it may be just a matter of time before Midas himself is back on the battlefield. This popular character may possibly return as a part of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8.
