Fortnite just won't stop with its brilliant collaborations and keeps giving players plenty of options for new cosmetics. We know it's hard to keep up, so we're here to explain all the Fortnite skins you’ll be getting your hands on in August 2021.
Fortnite Season 7 is here and it looks set to be quite different from what we're used to. Expect to see this page updated with Fortnite skins based on aliens and other strange creatures. We imagine that the pop culture collaborations won't stop soon either.
We’ve rounded up every Fortnite skin we expect to land in the battle royale in August 2021, including both skins confirmed by Epic Games and those which are rumored – but don’t worry, we’ve clearly signposted which are which. So, read on for all the Fortnite skins we expect in the near future so you look fashionable while racking up the eliminations.

Officially unveiled Fortnite skins
Gamora - Guardian of the Galaxy
Gamora from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is finally showing up with her own Fortnite skin. As the last of her species, Gamora knows the damage alien invasions can cause, so she is here to lend a hand to the Island.
To celebrate her arrival, the Gamora Cup will take place on August 11, You and a Duo partner will have just three hours to rack up as many points as you across 10 games to be in with a chance to win the skin for free.
If you aren't great at competitions, Gamora and fellow Guardian Star-Lord will also show up in the Item Shop on August 14 / August 15 (depending on your region). Grab her outfit while you can, and maybe snag her Cloak Back Bling, Godslayer Pickaxe, and the Godslayer Glideboard too.
Ariana Grande - Concert superstar
The Rift Tour concert starring Arianna Grande is set to take place soon, and much like Marshmello and Travis Scott who came before, she has her own skin.
You can snag it from the Item Shop for 2,000 V-Bucks, or you can get it in a bundle with multiple other cosmetics including a pickaxe, glider and traversal emote for just 2,800 V-Bucks.
Bloodsport - from the Suicide Squad
Multiple leakers teased a Suicide Squad tie-in, and finally we've seen Bloodsport get added as a Fortnite skin. The new collaboration skin will cost 1,500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop and will let you play as a masked version of Idris Elba's Superman shooting villain.
You can also run around the Fortnite island with a new Bloodsport-inspired weapon wrap and pickaxe that can be bought separately.
Cammy and Guile - Street Fighters
If you missed out on adding Ryu and Chun-Li from Street Fighter to your Fortnite Skin roster, you can now make up for it by getting two new characters from the classic fighting game series. Cammy and Guile are headed to the Fortnite island.
You'll have missed out on taking part in the Cammy Cup (which happened on August 5) but expect to see these outfits show up in the Item Shop soon on August 7. They'll set you back 1,600 V-Bucks each, plus extra if you also want to snag the pair's harvesting tools and glider. But if you're a fan of the series these Street Fighter skins are ones you'll want to buy while you can.
Superman – Season 7 Battle Pass
After his identity hiding glasses were teased by the official Fortnite Twitter account, Superman is confirmed to making an appearance as a Fortnite skin in Season 7. The Man of Steel is available through the Battle Pass which you can buy right now.
Though you'll have to wait a while before Superman himself can be unlocked as it looks like he is the Season 7 secret skin. This means you'll have to complete additional objectives to play as him.
As always you can either buy the Battle Pass on its own for 950 V-Bucks or you could get Fortnite Crew. It costs $11.99 (£9.99 / AU$15.99) but includes additional cosmetics and 1,000 V-Bucks while also giving you the Battle Pass too.
Summer Skye – Fortnite Crew August 2021
August's Fortnite Crew pack celebrates an old favorite Fortnite Skin, Skye. The skin shows off her beach-inspired Summer variant, complete with shorts and no beanie hat. An alternate look for the skin has an almost Halloween-like design that uses oranges and blacks.
Alongside the Summer Skye skin, you'll also get a sword and shield backbling, her sword as a pickaxe, and a couple of weapon wraps inspired by Meowcles. Fortnite Crew costs $11.99 (£9.99 / AU$15.99) per month and will net you 1,000 V-Bucks as well as the Battle Pass if you don't currently own it.
Rumored Fortnite skins
Samus Aran – Nintendo's bounty hunter
@GenosPapa Dual reveal of Samus in Fortnite, and Jonesy in Smash at E3? LET'S GOOOOO! pic.twitter.com/gAxb84xFZ7May 19, 2021
In Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 many fans were calling for Nintendo to be represented by an in-game skin after both Xbox and PlayStation got their mascots in the Battle Royale. The obvious choice was bounty hunter Samus from the Metroid series – but she never showed up.
Leaked documents shared on Twitter from the Epic Games vs Apple court battle indicate that Samus is/was planned to appear in the game (alongside multiple other characters like Naruto and Ariana Grande). The above panel from issue three of the Batman Zero Point series adds to the speculation that the character could still be coming after fans spotted a silhouette that looks a lot like Samus.
Take this rumor with an unhealthy amount of salt, but it could mean that Samus might soon arrive as a Fortnite skin.
Leaked survey skins
Here are ALL the skins from Epic's Survey, again thanks to @LeakySussed! pic.twitter.com/H8RNZlQjOOMay 14, 2021
Here's a leak to take with an extra pinch of salt: multiple Fortnite leakers on Twitter have shared images from a recent Epic survey showing off several new skin designs. In it the company detailed potential Fortnite skins and included images of ones we might eventually see added to the game.
You can see all of the in the tweet above but some of our favorites are Cartoon Bushranger, a Vampire Drift, and Guff dressed as a Christmas tree. We have no clue if any of these skins will ever be added to the game, but be on the lookout in future seasons.
The Foundation – Leader of the Seven
The Foundation, a character that appeared in the epic Fortnite Season 5 event, is rumored to be becoming a Fortnite skin at some point in the future. It's likely we won't see him until Season 8 – as he was last seen falling into the ocean – but we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Leaker Hypex found files related to the skin in-game so he could be on the way sooner than that, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
