Epic Games has revealed Midas's return in Fortnite Chapter Six, season two, through an action-packed rap video trailer featuring bank robberies and explosions. This has left players questioning why a character with the power to turn anything into gold would need to rob banks.

Midas, introduced in Chapter Two, is a complex character whose golden touch curse led to his daughter Jules's death, though she was later resurrected. Their relationship remained strained after this tragic event.

The Fortnite community has two main theories about Midas's bank-robbing motives:

  • Control over gold supply to increase its value
  • Simple enjoyment of causing chaos

Midas's complex history includes roles as:

  • Crime lord
  • Cursed king
  • Undead entity
  • Shadow version
  • Tragic father

Some players speculate this could be part of a larger plot against Fletcher Kane, or as one Reddit user suggested, quoting the Joker: "It's not about money. It's about sending a message."
