Epic Games Teases Fortnite Character Skin
Epic Games surprised fans this morning with a teaser image for a new Fortnite character skin. The image features a humanoid creature wearing heavy armor and has fiery eyes. The caption reads, “Ruin is coming…”
While there isn’t much context provided in the teaser, it is highly likely that it is hinting at a new character outfit. Specifically, it could be the Discovery skin that players can unlock after completing 55 weekly challenges in season eight. Epic Games has not yet revealed details about the Discovery secret item, but it can be inferred that it may be a character skin named Ruin.
In the teaser, the word “Ruin” is capitalized in the middle of the sentence in its translated versions in Portuguese and Spanish. In most languages, a capitalized word in the middle of a sentence typically indicates a proper noun, which means it is a name. Based on this understanding, it is safe to assume that Ruin is the name of the character featured in the teaser image.
If this assumption is correct, then “Ruin is coming” does not refer to chaos and destruction, but rather to the arrival of a character skin named Ruin. The reason why we believe Ruin is the Discovery skin specifically is that Epic Games does not typically tease regular Item Shop skins in this manner, and players have no way of knowing when a new skin will be available for purchase. However, they do know that the Discovery secret item can only be unlocked after completing week eight challenges, which will be available in two weeks. This suggests that the release of Ruin is imminent.
While this information is not yet confirmed, it is highly likely that Ruin is a new character skin that will be introduced as part of the Discovery challenges in Fortnite. Players can expect its release in the near future.
