Epic Games has released a lot of skins in Fortnite that allow you to be how you want to be. These skins are either made in Fortnite style or can also come from crossovers like Marvel or DC. Now, fan-made skins are also being introduced into the game. You can find out what it’s all about here from MeinMMO.
What happened? Epic Games held a “Concept Royale” contest from June 15 – July 12. In this contest, it was your task to design a skin for Fortnite.
The two winners will not only receive $2,500 in prize money – their skins will also make their way into Fortnite in Winter 2021.
These are the winners of the Concept Royale contest
The winners of the contest were announced on August 19. They are the Twitter users Ibdart_ and AltaCalls.
The first Fortnite skin: Nalia
This is a guardian of the icy forests. She protects the forest from intruders and from beings that wish to harm it.
Snowflake symbols adorn her clothing. The guardian is masked with an owl mask and also possesses an owl back bling. The look is rounded off with a snow-blue cape that can surely be worn and removed in her styles.
A pickaxe is, of course, a must. This one looks like a large branch with an icy blade shaped like a claw. A very cool and fitting skin with a lot of attention to detail.
The second Fortnite skin: Ice Forgotten
This skin comes more from the dark Bounty Hunter Corner.
The Ice Forgotten appears as a frozen skeleton with a long, tattered cloak, an eye patch, and a leather hat with ice spikes. Unfortunately, this skin does not yet include a back bling or a pickaxe. These will surely be added by Epic Games to match the skin – so stay tuned.
Could there be more to come? Epic Games may indirectly admit that they are running out of ideas for their own skins. All the better for the community to have the chance to leave a personal touch in Fortnite.
All in all, this is a move in the right direction from Epic Games, and one could expect more fan-made skins in the future.
What do you think about Epic Games giving Fortnite fans the opportunity to design skins and then incorporating them into the game? Do you think it brings variety from all the crossovers? Let us know.
