As each year passes, the team behind Fortnite continues to get more creative with each season. Fortniteis often seen as the king of the Battle Royale genre for video games and houses many collaborations with companies like Disney and Warner Bros fighting to get their characters represented in the game with outfits.
Fortnite never shies away from creating new and interesting skins for the player to use and get that victory crown with. Whether that’s a character like Boba Fett from Star Wars, or doing the “Take the L” dance as Arianna Grande. Alternatively, players can find a plethora of new and original skins created by fans and the team at Epic Games.
12 Black Krrsantan
“A former gladiator turned bounty hunter, Krrsantan is a towering black-furred Wookiee.” Krrsantan is no stranger to the Star Wars universe, making his live-action debut in The Book of Boba Fett, and facing off against Obi-Wan Kenobi himself in Marvel comics’ Star Wars. He was first released in the item shop on February 9th, 2022, for 1,500 V-Bucks.
What makes Krrsantan a great skin, is that it’s the first time Fortnite players can become Wookiee. His appearance in the game was a surprise, but a fun one nonetheless. He has great detail, from his black fur to his electrified knuckle dusters, and a hulking size.
11 Bruno Mars
“Entertainer and reluctant assassin.” With a release date of February 11th, 2022, Bruno Mars was a part of the Silk Sonic set. He’s in the item shop rotation for 1,800 V-Bucks and comes with over 4 unique outfits so that each time the player jumps from the battle bus, they can have a new groove.
As a real-life person, Bruno Mars has bolstered an impressive career, most notably in music. To see him represented in Fortnite is part of the game’s charm, as players never know who is going to get a skin next.
10 Green Goblin
“He won’t rest until he’s destroyed Spider-Man.” Perhaps no description better suits the Green Goblin, the infamous nemesis to Spider-Man. Recently, Green Goblin returned from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was great to see the character again, played by Willem Dafoe, but this is a more comic-styled Green Goblin.
Released on January 28th, 2022, Green Goblin can appear in the item shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. He also has a bundle that comes with his iconic glider and pumpkin bombs. It’s great to see Fortnite put their spin on the Green Goblin costume, and face off against the Web-Head.
9 Obi-Wan Kenobi
omega fortnite costume“Hope survives.” The famed Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi makes his debut in Fortnite. The detail is nice to see on the character model, as it looks like a very stylized version of Ewan McGregor, as seen in the Disney Plus show Obi-Wan Kenobi. The skin came out on in the item shop on May 27th, 2022, the same day as the premier of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
For 1,600 V-Bucks, players can maintain the much-desired high ground with this legendary Star Wars character. His outfit is reminiscent of his old days as a Jedi, before the Jedi purge of Order 66.
8 Madcap
“The master of mushrooms enters the fight.” Madcap is often regarded as quite a bizarre skin in Fortnite. Not only for his mushroom appearance but for the history behind the skin. When leakers made Fortnite fans aware of Madcap’s existence in the game’s files back in 2020, they eagerly awaited his arrival in the shop.
Madcap was not seen again until January 14th, 2022, for the item shop price of 1,500 V-Bucks. It is unknown why the skin took so long, but it has a famed history amongst fans. The unique mushroom shape has a glow style too.
7 Blanka
“Seeing you in action is a joke!”, yet Blanka is no joke. He comes in two styles. His first, is his iconic wild skin, a cross between The Hulk and a werewolf. His second style, is a lot more dapper and professional, as he sports a suit and a pair of sunglasses.
Blanka can be purchased from the item shop for 1,600 V-Bucks, and first appeared on April 29th, 2022. He’s an iconic Street Fighter character, and one that many fans were happy to see in Fortnite.
6 Omega Knight
“There can only be one knight.” When Omega was introduced into the Fortnite Battle Pass for Chapter 1, Season 4, fans of the skin desperately tried to complete the XP challenges required to unlock the full potential of this skin. Each XP challenge had a unique style, to make Omega seem fierce and intimidating.
Since this was over 4 years ago, many fans want to see Omega again. Fortnite released the Omega Knight on May 5th, 2022, as a bundle for 1,200 V-Bucks.
5 Vi
“The Piltover enforcer.” League of Legends fans could rejoice when Fortnite unveiled their Vi skin on January 23rd, 2022. This skin was released in part of the Netflix animated series, Arcane: League of Legends. For the price of 1,500 V-Bucks, fans of the show and video game could head to the item shop to purchase Vi.
The skin once again shows Epic Games’ attention to detail, as the model looks as if it was taken directly from the Netflix show itself, with even the subtle details of shoelaces and bandage wraps.
4 Scarlet Witch
“Sokovian sorceress with the ability to harness Chaos Magic.” To coincide with the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Fortnite released the Scarlet Witch on May 6th, 2022. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe character had wanted this skin ever since her transformation in Wanda/Vision.
Scarlet Witch was available in the item shop at the price of 1,500 V-Bucks and came in two styles. The second style is similar to the first, except for ominous glowing red eyes that sometimes occur.
3 Robocop
“The future of law enforcement.” Fortnite was due for some long-awaited law and order with the May 14th, 2022 release of Robocop. This hit 80s character joins the ranks of Alien, Predator, and Terminator as part of the Fortnite roster and other iconic 80s characters.
For the price of 1,500 V-Bucks, players can acquire Robocop from the item shop. The detail of this skin is nothing short of incredible, and this 80s cinema icon is more than deserving of a spot on Fortnite.
2 Ezio Auditore
“Requiescat in pace.” The iconic line is spoken by Ezio Auditore upon the successful assassination of his Templar enemies returns as his item description. This skin was released on April 8th, 2022, and had the item shop price of 1,800 V-Bucks. The famed assassin from the hit video game franchise Assassin’s Creed is more than deserving of a Gaming Legends spot.
With Ezio in Fortnite, more gaming icons can enter the fray. Characters like Master Chief and Kratos are already part of the game’s ever-growing collection of characters. Ezio also comes with his hidden blades as a pickaxe tool, which makes for a unique skin. Having a character like Ezio ensures that this character will never have a game over.
1 Darth Vader
“Join him, and together you will rule the galaxy.” Perhaps one of pop culture’s most iconic villains, and tragic characters. Darth Vader came onto the island of Fortnite on the 5th of June, 2022 as part of Chapter 3, Season 3’s Battle Pass. Vader is the tier 100 skin and can be claimed after players reach Level 90, and spend their battle stars on the 10th page.
Darth Vader brings the iconic Imperial March to Fortnite as an emote. This character is greatly regarded as one of the finest fictional characters and has appeared in a plethora of Star Wars content.
Fortnite is free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
