September 26, 2018 The third Fortnite season 6 teaser shows off a new werewolf skin.
Fortnite season 6 is nearly here – after an unexpected delay – and Epic's now revealed all three teasers for the big update. That includes a robot llama that looks very much like a masked DJ, a lady outlaw dressed for a proper train robbery, and now a straight-up werewolf. These are likely skins for the battle , but together they've completely thrown off our theories on the season 6 theme.
Our new werewolf buddy appears on Kevin the Cube's third visible face, accompanied by the usual streak of purple lightning. This skin has a a tattered vest, gauntlets, and a bandanna befitting an old-school action hero.
The cowgirl skin has a spiky jacket and a face mask, so this probably isn't the sheriff of Tilted. Skins tend to come in gendered pairs, so this also likely indicates that we're finally getting the oft-requested cowboy skin in season 6.
Epic's initial robot llama tease was captioned "all great parties need a DJ." Season 5 teases began with with a kitsune-style mask – the same mask that comes alongside the Drift skin you unlock at the first tier of the battle . Disco llama might be a similarly early unlock.
Datamines earlier this month courtesy of FNBRLeaks dug up a handful of potential new cosmetic categories for Fortnite, including pets and weapon skins. There's also an option for music packs in the new files – we thought our friendly llama DJ is the harbinger of a music theme for season 6, but outlaws typically aren't very musical. Maybe with all these masks and monsters, it's a Halloween theme? Or maybe Epic has dropped themes altogether and we're still just clinging to the past.
