The TMNT skins feature all the main characters from the franchise and have been well-received by both the gaming community and fans of the series. The reaction to the unveiling of these new skins is overwhelmingly positive, proving Epic Games' endeavor to be a successful one.
Epic Games released a patch, v28.01, that not only introduced new modes like the LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Festival but also decrypted files related to upcoming skins in the game. Led by this release, data miners have now leaked TMNT skins of the four main characters - Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael. You can now catch a glimpse of these cool skins in the game.
The designs of the skins resemble the characters in the 2023 TMNT film and are rumored to be released on December 20, 2023. Players have been expressing their excitement on various platforms, gushing over their favorite characters and how awesome they look.
Players have been sharing their reactions online. Some quotes include praises like - It's like a dream come true, they look so awesome, or it's incredible to wear the skin of my favorite TMNT character. These comments make it obvious that the skins have been an instant hit among the players.
Many are looking forward to playing with their squad, each wearing one of the TMNT skins. Declarations such as “Bro if a squad rolls up on me and they all wearing one of the TMNT skins, I'm leaving the game, they won.” make it clear that TMNT's entry into Fortnite has been well received.
There has been some discussion about the era the skins represent. A few players have expressed that they were hoping for an 80s/90s variant because that's the period they grew up with. But overall, the skins are accepted with great enthusiasm and players are excited to play irrespective of the period style.
While there are a number of collaboration skins that have been and will be introduced in Fortnite, players should ensure they stay updated with the latest developments. So, gear up for some action with your favorite heroes, it's time to bring the TMNT power into Fortnite!+
