Most of these skins will probably come to the Item Shop in the future.
Fortnite skins are a huge hit with many fans, so a new Epic Games poll should garner a lot of attention from the gaming community. A recent developer-publisher survey asked players to rate the appeal of dozens of unreleased skins, giving us a sneak preview of characters potentially making their way into the game. While we can't say that all skins will one day be available in Fortnite, it's both logical and historical that some will.
Epic's survey included skins spanning several different sets; some make great companion characters to past heroes, while others are completely new and look like nothing else in Fortnite. The creators shared the full list of the skins surveyed, including various themes around Halloween, Christmas, and other linked events, which you can see in the tweet below.
The sets that have been noticed by fans include more characters in ongoing styles like frozen, anime, and toon styles. There's also a Christmas-themed redesign of the Hogwarts-inspired sorcery student Isabelle's fan-made costume. Other new styles for the characters we've seen before include a winter-ready Doctor Slone and a clover-green Wildcard. As for the all-new characters, there's plenty of them, like a killer clown, a human-sized bird, and a sloth that looks like a soldier equipped - you know, typical Fortnite stuff.
None of these have names - but we can reliably guess some, like the Toon Bomber - and they probably won't all come to the store. But such past polls have borne fruit, and it looks like Epic is collecting data on its upcoming characters rather than choosing which one to release.
Earlier this year, Epic polled fans about possible licensed appearances, including characters from The Last Of Us, Breaking Bad, and Dragon Ball Z. We're still waiting for many to come to the Item Shop, but like the Epic original characters, the company's past research on licensed skins has led to the Item Shop debuts. Hang on, one day you'll get Goku skin.
If you're finding this season's XP system a little buggy, you're not alone. But a fix is coming, says Epic. In the meantime, don't miss the Week 2 challenges.
