Highlights
- Fortnite players push for updates to old anime skins after new releases show how outdated some of the classic looks are.
- Fans want Epic Games to rework classic anime skins like Dragon Ball Z, citing inaccurate character designs like Vegeta.
- It remains to be seen if this will actually happen, though it's clear that fans appreciate the high quality of the My Hero Academia skins.
Fortnite players are calling for changes to be made to the game's classic anime skins. Since new anime skins were released, some players have pointed out how outdated older anime skins look compared to them.
Fortnite regularly introduces skins to the game based on licensed characters from pop culture, including looks based on movies, popular TV shows, comics, and celebrities. Unlocking and buying cosmetic skins with V-Bucks in Fortnite is one of the game’s key features, as it gives players a wide array of ways to customize their characters and enjoy the game much more. Fortnite is also known to introduce anime skins from time to time. However, some players have noticed that the game's old anime skins look noticeably different from the new ones.
Fortnite: Best Marvel Skins
Marvel has plenty of skins in Fortnite, ranging from comic appearances to the MCU, and here are some fan favorites.
Perhaps the thing that stands out the most about anime skins in Fortnite is their cell-shaded appearance with an outlined body. This also applies to other animated series skins in the game, like Rick and Morty as well as some expensive Fortnite skins. As reported by Dexerto, with the release of Fortnite's My Hero Academia skins, players like X user @flutteristired are saying that classic anime skins in the game should be updated to match the better appearance of the newer cosmetics. In particular, gamers want to see changes made to outfits like the first wave of Dragon Ball Z collaboration skins.
Fortnite Players Want Changes for Classic Anime Skins
While some players prefer to focus more on honing their skills, such as their aiming accuracy in Fortnite, as opposed to debating over skin quality, there is clearly interest in improvements to classic anime looks. However, some players are not just clamoring for updates or changes to the old anime skins in the game, as they want Epic to go even further and completely rework certain skins. These fans are stating that a few classic characters do not look like themselves at all, or even look botched. This includes characters like Vegeta from the 2022 DBZ collaboration, with one player claiming that this particular character only looks like himself from an angle.
Fortnite’s new My Hero Academia crossover for 2024 is now available to all players and will probably prove to be a hit. This new collaboration includes Himiko Toga, Tomura Shigaraki, and Dabi. Whether the positive response to this crossover (and it causing players to look back on older designs) inspires updates for classic anime skins remains to be seen. Improving old looks based on feedback would surely be appreciated by the fan base, allowing controversial crossovers to be as popular as collaborations like Star Wars' Chewbacca coming to Fortnite.
