What are the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 skins?
As Chapter 2, Season 7 isn’t out yet, we don’t have an official list of the skins that will launch with the new season.
There are, however, a bunch of rumours surrounding the cosmetics that may be making their way to the game.
Fortnite-maker Epic Games also has a bunch of recent purchasable skins that will almost certainly be available in the new season, too.
We’ll know more about the skins available in Season 7 once the update has fully rolled out on June 8.
It’ll be available following a few hours of downtime that began at 7am BST (2am ET) this morning.
Epic wrote on Twitter: “Downtime for Chapter 2 Season 7 (v17.00) has begun! We’ll let you all know when downtime has ended and services are back up.”

What are Fortnite skins?
Skins are cosmetic items in Fortnite that players can add to their in-game character to change their appearance.
They can be purchased on the Epic Store using Fortnite’s in-game currency, V-Bucks.
Over the years, skins have become more elaborate and today can be used to dress your character up as famous faces.
Recently, Fortnite-maker Epic Games has released skins for Marvel’s Black Panther, the Xenomorph from the “Alien” franchise and even football superstar Neymar.
