The Myths and Mortals theme of Season 2 was perfectly portrayed throughGreek-inspired POIsscattered across the map and a battle pass brimming with iconic figures from mythology.
Two of the most popular figures from mythology, Aphrodite and Zeus, are both featured as skins in the latest season. However, Aphrodite’s skin has facedscrutiny from the communitydue to discrepancies between the official skin and what was revealed in pre-release surveys.
Aphrodite’s appearance is still under review now that it has been revealed that Conqueror Zeus carries a heart-shaped locket with her picture inside. While the discovery was a hidden detail was appreciated by fans, her looks were still the main concern.
A Reddit post byRS_Rav3ndid a deep dive into the Conqueror Zeus skin that can be unlocked after hitting level 67. This skin features new armor for Zeus and gives him slicked-back hair.
On his right hip, a golden locket can be seen. When looking inside it, fans can catch a glimpse of a photo of Aphrodite – but her appearance within the locket still does not match her in-game model.
“And a different version than is in game. The costume layout looks like Immortal Aphrodite but with the normal colors and shorter hair with her jacket not covering her right shoulder,”pointed out one commenter.
But Aphrodite’s appearance was not the only topic of discussion within the Reddit post. Some questioned why Zeus would be carrying a picture of Aphrodite, considering the age difference.
