What some fans weren’t expecting is that the King of the Sea is actually the “Slurp-God of the Sea, King of the Beach”, with Epic Games merging fan favourite Rippley into the Greek god.
Even if Pandora’s Box has been opened, there’s a crossover we never expected to see.
Like most skins, the new gods and goddesses can be unlocked via the Fortnite battle pass. All you need to do is play the game, complete a few requirements to earn Battle Stars and the Epic outfit can be yours.

Where to find Poseidon NPC in Fortnite
The Poseidon NPC can be found in Reckless Railways within the Grand Station Terminal.
A speech bubble will pop up when nearby providing the exact location of Poseidon.
The character can then be recruited as a Heavy Specialist to join your party, or he offers up a Warforged Assault Rifle and Chug Splash weapon for sale.
How to get the Poseidon skin in Fortnite
Anyone wanting to unlock the Poseidon skin will need to purchase all cosmetics found on Page 5 of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle pass.
Poseidon can then be acquired for nine Battle Stars as part of the Tidal King Set. The design is very similar to Rippley vs Slidge outfit that appeared in the Chapter 2 Season 1 battle pass.
There are two further variants of the Greek god skin: Immortal Poseidon (purple) and Magmatic Poseidon (orange).
To unlock Immortal Poseidon, progress to Page 6 of the Battle Pass and again spend nine Battle Stars to start using the outfit. Magmatic Poseidon can then be unlocked on Page 1 of the Bonus Rewards for 25 Battle Stars.
Fortnite is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via the Epic Games Store.
