How to get Ascendant Midas Skin in Fortnite

Ascendant Midas Skin has finally been released in Fortnite. After being teased and hinted at by leakers/data-miners since the end of Chapter 5 Season 1, the Golden King has finally reclaimed his place in the storyline. Although it's unclear what will become of him once Chapter 5 Season 2 ends, it's nice having him back in-game and on the island as an NPC.

Additionally, since Ascendant Midas has a LEGO Style, it's a huge deal for those who want to use him in LEGO Fortnite. Given how detailed the miniature figure is, it will look amazing in-game. That being said, here is how to acquire the Ascendant Midas Skin in Fortnite.

How long could Ascendant Midas Skin stay in the Item Shop?

Midas is a cult-like figure in the Metaverse. As such, the Ascendant Midas Skin will be listed in the Item Shop for a considerable amount of time. In all probability, it will remain in rotation until the Rise of Midas in-game event ends (April 2, 2024) or perhaps until the end of that week.

Since this version of Midas is not exclusive to the Battle Pass, it will be featured in the future as well. Thus, for those who may be unable to purchase the Ascendant Midas Skin this time, there's no need to worry. There will always be next time.
