Fortnite: A new skin shows how much the map has changed in 4 years

In Fortnite, players can purchase a new skin made from old map elements. The “Eco” outfit clearly shows how much the game has changed over the years.

This is what the skin looks like: The new Eco skin landed in Fortnite on April 22nd, catching attention with its unusual design. The character basically looks like a walking map: There are visible rivers, a sort of lava arm, a few little trees growing from the character’s elbow, and his right leg is frozen.

On his back, he carries a globe featuring an active volcano that puffs little clouds of ash into the air. It is said to erupt when opponents are eliminated. Fans of miniatures should delight in this skin. Additionally, a harvesting tool has also appeared in the shop: A well-known sword embedded in the skull of a nasty monster. The skin costs 1,500 V-Bucks in the store (approximately between €12-15).

All of this does not come without reason. Those who take a closer look at the colorful figure will recognize plenty of things – at least if they’ve been around for a few years.

A Skin for Fortnite Nostalgia Fans

The skin has a lot of references: The walking map Eco clearly shows how much the map has changed since its release in 2017. On Eco’s armor, you can see various locations from older versions of the Fortnite map, showcasing how the game looked before the locations of today’s prehistoric season variant.

Among other things, you can see on the skin:

It is a colorful mix of various seasons, all coming together in a single skin. Many of the locations on the skin have been replaced today – there is no longer a volcano, nor any ice landscape. Currently, there are The Spire, a walled jungle, or prehistoric villages in the center of the map in the game.

The skin is certainly for nostalgia fans. Many players should feel reminded of old maps and victories. This also applies to these 16 gliders that you only have if you have really played Fortnite from the beginning.
