Epic Games’ genre-defining competitive shooter Fortnite started the year with a bang. January brought unvaulted weapons, an unexpected crossover with Sega’s Hatsune Miku, and a new event gamemode that lets you play as the King of the Monsters himself: Godzilla. With so much happening, it’s the perfect time to check out some of the best Fortnite skins to make your mark in the game.
Let’s dive into some of the most exciting recently released Fortnite skins that are already making waves this season.
Chapter 6, Season 1
1. Hatsune Miku
Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
Do you like Vocaloids? Do you know what a Vocaloid even is? Then congratulations, there’s finally some representation for you in Fortnite. Sega’s digital pop princess made her Fortnite debut on January 14th, 2025, and she’ll be performing until her curtain call on March 12th. You can check the availability of Hatsune Miku skin on our platform.
2. Godzilla Evolved.
Cost: Included in Battle Pass
This is a uhhh… different look for Godzilla than what many of us are used to, but hey, even a weird-looking Godzilla is still Godzilla.
Why is he pink though?
3. Hero Baymax
Cost: Included in Battle Pass
Big Hero 6 is way cooler than it gets credit for, and the battle-ready form of the cuddly healthcare companion looks awesome in Fortnite. It’s kind of weird to see him shooting people to death with guns since that’s most likely explicitly against his programming, but anything goes in Fortnite.
4. Darth Vader Samurai
Cost: 1,800 V-Bucks
It’s Darth Vader with samurai armor. We don’t think that requires any further explanation.
5. Johnny Silverhand
Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
Sometimes you just have to zero some gonks to earn some eddies, and nobody is a better companion for violence than everyone’s favorite choom, Johnny Silverhand. Hope you played Cyberpunk 2077!
Honorable Mention: Plungerman (1,500 V-Bucks), but only because we’re hoping that means there will be a Skibidi Toilet skin in Fortnite at some point in the future.
Chapter 5, Season Remix
This hip-hop-focused season had a couple of bangers, but not as many as other seasons. Unless you like Juice Wrld.
6. LBC ‘93 Snoop Dogg
Cost: Included in Music Pass
Regular old Snoop Dogg was available as a skin too (for 1,800 V-Bucks), but why would you want that when you could roll out with this incredible afro. Fo’ shizzle, indeed.
7. Lady of Cranes
Cost: $11.99 (Only Available in Fortnite Crew)
There’s no denying that this skin looks great, but you couldn’t just buy it in the store, you had to have a Fortnite Crew subscription to get it when it was available. Bummer.
8. Rap Boy Reloaded
Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
Rap Boy Reloaded looks an awful lot like globally celebrated rap artist Marshall Mathers. We wonder if they’re related.
9. Ice Spice/Rap Princess Ice Spice
Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
So, we realize that Ice Spice has become a pretty divisive person recently, and we can’t really say that we’re fans of hers, per-se. However, there’s something really hilarious about running Fortnite matches as a rapper who unashamedly used the word “fart” prominently in a song that got pretty popular.
Is there an Ice Spice fart emote? No??? What a missed opportunity.
Chapter 5, Season 4
Chapter 5, Season 4’s theme was Absolute Doom, and featured a bunch of awesome Marvel characters.
10. She-Venom
Cost: 3,000 V-Bucks (Symbiotes Bundle)
She’s Venom, but a lady version. That’s pretty cool, right? Why are you looking at her like that? Stop staring!
11. Iron Spider
Cost: 2,000 V-Bucks
Spider-Man’s abilities combined with Tony Stark’s Iron Man tech is a pretty consistent crowd-pleaser, and its appearance in Fortnite just shows that this design and concept absolutely holds up. Also, he’s very shiny.
12. Frozone
Cost: 1,800 V-Bucks
He found his super suit and skated his way into Fortnite and then into our hearts. Can’t go wrong with Frozone, the dude oozes cool. And cold.
13. Pumpkin King
Cost: 2,000 V-Bucks
This alternate appearance for The Nightmare Before Christmas’s Jack Skellington is WAY better than the default look. That’s probably why it’s 500 V-Bucks more expensive, but you have to spend money to look good.
14. Mephisto
Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
This character from the Marvel Universe is described as an “extradimensional demon,” but let’s just call it what it is.
This guy’s literally the devil. What’s scarier than the Prince of Darkness? The Prince of Darkness holding a gun.
15. Captain Talon
Cost: 1,200 V-Bucks
There are plenty of human-animal hybrids in Fortnite, but Captain Talon flies high above them all. He’s perfectly goofy-looking, we love his flight helmet, and that red scarf is just fantastic.
Cool bird-man, no notes.
Chapter 5, Season 3
Chapter 5, Season 3’s theme was Wrecked and had a focus on Mad Max-style vehicular combat.
16. Weapon X
Cost: 2,600 V-Bucks (Available in Weapon X Lab Bundle)
Everyone knows Wolverine’s iconic blue and yellow suit look, but his less common (way cooler) “Weapon X” design is the one many fans prefer. There’s something about the wires and equipment strapped to his body that makes his rage easier to understand.
17. Davy Jones
Cost: 3,400 V-Bucks (Available in the Pirates of the Caribbean Bundle)
Davy Jones is the closest we’ve come so far to getting Cthulhu in Fortnite, and that counts for something. He’s also a super cool villain with a crab claw hand that should make shooting a gun way more difficult, but bro has it all figured out.
18. Jubilee
Cost: 1,500 V-Bucks
Jubilee is a lesser-known X-Men character, but one that holds a special place in the heart of anyone who watched the animated series. Also, her Fortnite look is largely unchanged and looks ripped straight out of the 90s, which wins it a bunch of brownie points with us.
19. Wastelands Magneto
Cost: Included in Battle Pass
Magneto is among the best of the Marvel Universe’s villains, and strapping chunks of metal armor to him like a Mad Max villain gets him even closer to the top of that list.
20. Magalo Don
Cost: Included in Battle Pass
Speaking of Mad Max villains, Fortnite’s legally distinct version of Immortan Joe is siiiiiick. The armor, the mask, the hair, so cool.
Honorable Mention: Cursed Jack Sparrow, because playing as a skeleton that somehow still manages to have facial hair is hilarious.
