Fortnite's first Christmas skins for 2019 have leaked online.
Credit: Epic / Erik KainEpic Games announced that Season 11 of Fortnite would be extended by about two months in order to prepare material for the Christmas break and other events.
That’s almost the length of an entire season! It’s a strange move by the game’s creator, especially since we’re only in the first season of Chapter 2 and one would expect a bit more . . . momentum?
In any case, today’s v11.20 update has been datamined, and a bunch of very cool new skins have been unearthed. These include the first Christmas skins for this year’s holiday season, as well as some good demonic skins and some special forces style skins. We’ll start with . . .
Globe Shaker (Epic)~ Make it snow
Globe Shaker (Epic)~ Make it snow
Credit: EpicThis is very clearly a Christmas skin, and I actually really like it. A snow globe for a head and a llama sweater? Count me in.
Bundles (Rare) ~ Bundle up for the battle
Bundles (Rare) ~ Bundle up for the battle
Credit: EpicI think Bundles qualifies as a Christmas skinâ€"the Christmas version of Cuddle Team Leader, essentially. At the very least a decidedly wintry skin, whether you want to call it Christmas or not.
The Autumn Queen (Rare) ~ Ruler of the forest
The Autumn Queen (Rare) ~ Ruler of the forest
Credit: EpicThis is a terrific skin that isn’t really Christmas-themed what with it being the Autumn Queen. Epic is almost late to the party with this one, as Autumn quickly fades. Winter is coming, after all.
Most of this leak’s skins are not Christmas-themed. I expect we see many more in the coming updates, and especially once we’re a bit closer to Christmas itself. The rest are really cool skins, though!
Sorana (Legendary) ~ She's here to crash the party
Sorana (Legendary) ~ She's here to crash the party
Credit: EpicSorana is a Legendary special ops style skin with multiple styles which all seem to be leggings-related. Pretty cool skin but not my favorite of the batch.
Big Chuggus (Epic) ~ Small chugguses need not apply
Big Chuggus (Epic) ~ Small chugguses need not apply
Credit: EpicI suppose this guy comes from the Slurpy Swamp, continuing with the Slurp-Juice theme of this season.
Dominion (Epic) ~ Set the world on fire
Dominion (Epic) ~ Set the world on fire
Credit: EpicI really like this Dominion skin. We’ve had devil skins but there’s something really cool about this one, with the shotgun shells and the fiery symbol. He’s kind of like an elfish version of Hellboy.
Kurohomura (Epic) ~ Born of fire and destined for greatness
Kurohomura (Epic) ~ Born of fire and destined for greatness
Credit: EpicMore of an Asian style devil skin, I also think this one is pretty cool.
Sklaxis (Epic) ~ Sssss
Sklaxis (Epic) ~ Sssss
Credit: EpicThis Sklaxis is basically a snake ninja. That’s pretty neat. Reminds me of this season’s Tier 100 skin a bitâ€"Fusion.
Terns (Epic) ~ The spirit of the forest
Terns (Epic) ~ The spirit of the forest
Credit: EpicOne of my favorite skins in this batch, Terns reminds me a lot of Ori and the Blind Forest, which I suppose is fitting since his tagline is “spirit of the forest.â€
Brilliant Bomber (Rare) ~ Show your shine
Brilliant Bomber (Rare) ~ Show your shine
Credit: EpicThis new take on Bright Bomber is . . . a little ho-hum, to be honest. If it were a style variant that’d be one thing but she looks far too much like the original.
Depth Dealer (Rare) ~ Deep six the competition
Depth Dealer (Rare) ~ Deep six the competition
Credit: EpicDepth Dealer is an aquatic special forces style skin with cool aquamarine camo. Pretty cool if nothing terribly special.
Hush (Rare) ~ Silence the opposition
Hush (Rare) ~ Silence the opposition
Credit: EpicNinja assassin chick with a face mask and lots of midriff showing. Sounds good to me.
Stringray (Rare) ~ Beware the silent sting of doom
Stringray (Rare) ~ Beware the silent sting of doom
Credit: EpicSpecial Forces ninja style skin with a very cool mesh mask. You’ll notice that on this skin as well as Sorana there’s a little skull icon on their uniform. It’s possible other skins in this batch have the same icon. I wonder what it stands for? It must have something to do with theâ€"as of yet nonexistentâ€"Season 11 storyline. Right?
Razor (Uncommon) ~ Reclaim your kingdom, one break at a time
Razor (Uncommon) ~ Reclaim your kingdom, one break at a time
Credit: EpicLast but not least, Razor looks like a cross between a pilot and a German beer girl wearing what almost appears to be a dirndl. Her taglineâ€"about reclaiming a kingdom “one break at a time†is very peculiar. I’m not sure what to think.
In any case, that’s all the leaked skins from the v11.20 patch. You can read the patch notes right here.
