Fortnite Raven Skin Release Date, Everything You Need To Know
By Ford James ·
The spooky looking Raven skin was spotted in a datamine last week, but recent evidence has surfaced suggesting players will be able to purchase the outfit before the end of the week.
Fortnite has some badass skins. The Rex dinosaur onesie and various Alpine Ace skiing kits are two of our favourites, but if recent leaks are anything to go by, our brand new favourite will be hitting the in-game store very soon. The Raven skin features just two glowing eyes where the face should be, surrounded by a black hood, spiky dark scarf or neckerchief, along with a metallic ribcage for a back bling and feathery winged glider, the skin is sure to instill terror in any enemies that are unfortunate to stumble across you. Players have been waiting for this skin to appear, but if recent evidence is anything to go by, we don’t have to wait much longer.
For some players, a Fortnite event popped up in their notifications, detailing the Raven skin and explaining that it will take place between Thursday April 5th at 5:00pm, and Sunday April 8th at 4:59pm. That would mean the skin would be available for purchase tonight through till Sunday, or it could mean that it will appear at any point before Sunday, but one thing’s looking certain; the skin will be available fairly soon, so get your v-bucks ready.
When we reported on the leak last week, there were quite a few skins available, including the easter bunny ones which we’ve now seen in-game, but also a number of gliders and back blings we haven’t seen yet, such as the ones resembling space shuttles. Yesterday saw vending machines drop into the Fortnite world, and today we received a bunch of new challenges for week seven.
