Fortnite Lead reveals Midas was changed last second before Chapter 2 arrival Epic GamesA lead member of the Fortnite team has revealed a big change was made to Midas just a day before he was added to the game. There have been several notable villains across Fortnite\u2019s lifespan but few have had as big an impact as Midas. The bad guy with the golden touch, his sleek design has garnered him quite the fanbase despite being one of the baddies. While the version we know and love (or loathe, depending on who you are) has made a big splash around the community, one big-time Fortnite dev says that his signature style was actually the result of a last-second change that made him \u2018cooler\u2019 than how he was initially imagined. Fortnite developer reveals crucial last-second change to Midas In an Instagram post, Epic Games\u2019 Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard revealed that Midas was actually supposed to be wearing glasses on his in-game model all the way up to the final hours before Season 2\u2019s release. \u201cWe wanted him to feel erudite and calculating. But it just didn\u2019t work,\u201d he said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t look cool enough. So\u2026 cut!!!\u201d This is a minor change but the difference is pretty stark. The glasses-wearing statue version embedded above does look friendlier than the meticulous villain that we\u2019ve come to know. It\u2019s also interesting to note that there are still props out there that feature this version of the character, likely due to the fact that the decision to change him came so late in the process of getting Chapter 2 Season 2 out into the hands of players.
