Epic Games has released several free Fortnite skins in the past few years. Even though the game is free to play and the developer makes profit by selling cosmetic items, there have been several occasions when players could get cosmetic items for free. It turns out that players will, once again, be able to obtain free items in the popular video game.
As many players already know, the Winterfest event is coming soon to Fortnite Battle Royale. Epic Games has revealed that the event will start in just a few days, so we might get it on Thursday, December 16. This event will bring a lot of new content as well as two free Fortnite skins!
Free Fortnite skins are coming soon
On Tuesday, December 14, Epic Games released the v19.01 update for Fortnite Battle Royale. While this update did not affect gameplay much, it added many new files to the game data. Thanks to these files, data miners were able to see the upcoming content.
Two new free Fortnite skins have been added to the game data with the latest patch. According to HYPEX, the most popular Fortnite leaker, these two skins are variants of Peely and Isabelle. The new Peely skin will have an ice/frozen style while Isabelle has a festive uniform.
If the leaks are true, the two skins you can see in the image above will be released for free. Considering they are coming during the Winterfest event, players will most likely obtain them from special presents. However, if that turns out to be true, the skins probably won’t be available at the very start of the event.
Another free Epic Games Store skin
After the v19.01 update was released, many Fortnite leakers claimed that a free Fortnite skin will come to Epic Games Store as well. This skin, which is another variant of Isabelle, is supposed to be released on December 16. However, it will most likely be available to PC players only, similar to the Shadow Ruby pack.
HYPEX believes that Brizzabelle will be added to Fortnite’s Item Shop instead. However, we will have to wait until December 16 to see if she will be a free skin available only through Epic Games Store. Either way, there is no doubt that it’s going to be one of the most popular skins in this season!
