Fortnite is known for its unique building mechanics, over-the-top storylines, pop culture integration, and above all else, its line-up of absolutely amazing skins and cosmetics.

While not all the skins created are loved by the community, and some get ignored entirely due to various reasons, a few shine bright and have become symbols within the game's fanbase.

Unfortunately, the Fortnite item shop works on a rotational basis, and some skins, once vaulted, don't see the light of day for months or even years. Thankfully, many new skins are regularly added to help fill the void and give fans something to look forward to.

With that being said, here are some of the most hyped-up skins in Fortnite that loopers are eagerly looking forward to seeing and owning in-game in 2021.


Top 5 Fortnite skins that players could see very soon in-game

5) The Foundation (Epic Rarity: 1,600 V-Bucks - Unreleased)

The Foundation was blasted out of the Spire at the beginning of Fortnite Season 7 and is yet to appear as an NPC or skin in-game. Although it was rumored that the skin would come as part of the Crew pack in July, that position was taken by Loki, and now Skye in August.

The skin won't be coming out until sometime during Fortnite Season 8, which is due to start mid-September. Hopefully, Epic Games won't hold back this skin from fans much longer.


4) Carnage - (Unknown Rarity: 1,600 V-Bucks - Rumored)

In mid-June, prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR stunned the community with a leak that left players with high hopes. In a tweet, it was revealed that a possible Carnage skin will be coming to Fortnite soon.

The possibility cannot be ruled out as Venom is already featured in the game, and Thanos and Loki were also recently added. Given that the new Venom movie comes out in September, loopers could perhaps see the skin being added within the first few weeks of Fortnite Season 8.


3) Travis Scott - (Icon Series: 1,500 V-Bucks - Vaulted)

Travis Scott has been vaulted for a while, and despite not being added back to the item shop on Astronomical's first anniversary, loopers are confident that the skin will be featured before the year is out.

While leakers have not yet provided hard evidence to back up the claim, Epic Games is often unpredictable and may release the Travis Scott skin sooner than expected.


2) Bloodsport - (Epic Rarity: 1,600 V-Bucks - Unreleased)

With Harley Quinn already in-game and Superman being part of Fortnite Season 7's battle pass, it comes as no surprise that the developers decided to add Bloodsport to the game as well.

The Bloodsport skin drops on August 3rd, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, two days before the new Suicide Squad movie is released in the United States. Judging by how things are going, loopers could see a few more DC character skins coming to the game soon.

1) Ariana Grande - (Icon Series: 1,500 V-Bucks - Rumored)

The diva is set to debut in Fortnite on August 6th during the Rift Tour, and the hype cannot be contained. Although prominent design artist D3NNI has showcased various versions of her skin on Twitter, loopers are yet to see an official skin for Ariana Grande as of yet.

However, following the 17.21 update, data miners uncovered that the event, set to take place in a few days, will feature at least two new cosmetics, one of which will be Ariana Grande.
