Last month, Epic Games announced the Burning Wolf skin as part of the Fortnite Crew Pack. In one of the images, fans could clearly see the popular character Midas. There has been a lot of speculation surrounding his return to Fortnite, which further magnified the gravity of this inclusion.
However, in that instance, Midas' appearance seemed dubious and confusing. Fortunately, a recently leaked trailer for the Burning Wolf skin in Chapter 2 Season 8 changed everything.
The animated short of Burning Wolf infiltrating a castle is narrated by none other than Midas himself. Although players feared him dead, the trailer reveals more than just his voice. It also hints at Midas being alive in Chapter 2 Season 8.

Is Midas in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8?
The recent leaks clearly suggest that Midas is indeed going to be a part of Chapter 2 Season 8. Not only did the trailer incorporate his voice, but it also shows the Burning Wolf picking up a paper with a golden handprint on it.
If that hint wasn't big enough, the animated short depicts a person with a golden hand looking at the surveillance footage. Both of these events have intensified rumors of his return.
It is obvious that Midas has some role to play in the current season, and fans couldn't be more excited about his arrival.
