Well, apparently somebody says Epic Games is thinking about Fortnite skins coming out in 2025?? The company released one of the player surveys for feedback on new potential cosmetic designs, and leakers like HYPEX, PikminPanda99, and ShiinaBR have gotten their hands on the images of them. And trust me, the community practically exploded for these concepts.
In case you didn’t know how it goes, from time to time, Epic sends out surveys to selected players showcasing potential skin ideas and asks them which skins they’re most likely to buy. It’s a way of crowd-sourcing their next cosmetic development. And judging from the reactions that they’re getting, those skins are bound to make a huge splash.
The leak shows quite the range of themes and styles. There are nature-themed designs, which has a bunch of players speculating about a future season on nature elements. One user, UNIVERSAL_VLAD, said outright, “So a future season will be about nature elements,” which actually makes logical sense for where they’ve been heading in the last few years.
Now hold on, folks; there’s even more hype being generated. One player called her “I need her” with heart-eyes emojis, and more people spammed fire emojis with comments such as “I NEED THESE ASAP.” The hype is real. Someone actually called this “iconic,” and they really aren’t far off.
What’s interesting about these surveys by Epic Games, though? Like mahdy said, “Winter Lexa is not there because they’re already working on her,” some of the skins are already in production; others are still conceptually designed. It’s like getting a little sneak peek inside Epic’s creative stew pot.
One can imagine… Jurassic Park dinosaur theories-inspired themes (somebody actually commented, “JURASSIC PARK skin maybe? 🦖”) and far more fantasy and elemental styles-one of them, players called “Mother” capitalized because—obviously—it’s worthy.
And the reactions, man; priceless. People were just vomiting all sorts of emojis: crying faces, fire, dinosaur emojis. Some person just wrote “😩,” maybe meaning they’re overwhelmed at how good these look. Same, man.
But, with all of that said, the hype isn’t universal. owlMeta claims, “Nah we want the og one,” so there are some players that just want classic skins back. Then there is always the odd one in the group, like trent, who’d throw in, “People play Fortnite?” like yeah, bro, still millions of people playing daily but alright.
Innovating with every iteration! It hardly gets any better than what TRGuido1 said: “epic is cooking fr, they never stop cooking.” They really don’t. Just when you think they have run out of skin ideas, they suddenly bring out fresh skins to excite the players again.
The survey approach is so much genius if you really think about it. Instead of guessing what players want, they ask us directly. And judging from the reaction, there are definitely some winners on this batch. Many called the line-up “dope” and “clean,” one even said, “This is a cracker,” which I think is British for really good?
Imagine this weirdness: this early peek into 2025, the content. The development cycle for Fortnite is insane- always working years in advance. While chapter 5 continues running its course, they’re already lining up what we’re going to be wearing in 2025. Talk about level planning.
The existence of a community response again reflects the rampant engagement the player community still enjoys. Player viewership is not passive, blurry, indifferent, just casually scrolling through these leaks. Comments like “I NEED THEM” and “Let’s gooooo 🔥🔥🔥” are concrete accomplishments from fairly aged excitement for new cosmetics.
Something so good about this is that it is also a huge marketing opportunity. By leaking these concepts, they create buzz and anticipation months-to-years before the skins ever drop. Just imagine how much free hype is generated, fueling countless discussions about the game.
Since the points dumped in-game were never even considered, either close or far from an actual date in the drop, one fortunate of assurance” the defense wandering around mixed levels and kingdoms from Epic, knowing unerring which the player wants: from nature lovers to fantasy enthusiasts and those that just want a cool outfit.
Epic must have been super confident about Fortnite longevity to have a second-wave concept plastered for 2025 already. It’s not a game that is quite fading away anytime soon. With constant updates and new collaborations, and with these cool looking potential skins.
Honestly? I cannot wait to find out which of these actually make it. Days after the player reactions, clearly, Epic would be very clever to put forward nearly all of them. The loudspeakers from the community have spoken; they want these skins really bad. Now we are just playing the waiting game on which ones will hit the item shop in the coming years.
As it stands, Fortnite has one of the most fascinating cosmetic scenes, and these survey leaks just remind us that they haven’t fallen into complacency. The creativity should just keep going, and it’s getting eaten by the players. Now that’s a beautiful cycle that shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
