Resident Evil Requiem Fortnite Skin Leak and Rumors
According to earlier leaks from Hypex, a reliable source in the Fortnite community, fans can expect the Resident Evil skins to return to the Fortnite Item Shop in March. The leak suggests that the existing skins will be returning and there will be a new Grace Ashcroft skin added to the game.
It’s worth noting that this leak arrived all the way back in October and there has not been any official confirmation of it yet. There have been rumors that Fortnite is going to make a big push for more Gaming Legends in the coming year, but the Fortnite accounts have not confirmed the return of the Resident Evil collabs at this point.
Fortnite is available now on PC, consoles, and select mobile devices.
