Fortnite snowfall skin: New skins reveal countdown begins, leaks latest and rumours
FORTNITE snowfall skin is set to be revealed this week. Here’s the latest on the leaks and rumours surrounding the major Battle Royale unveiling.
Fortnite: Season 7 trailer confirms Christmas theme
Fortnite snowfall skin looks set to be unveiled in Battle Royale this week.
The Fortnite snowfall skin will be getting revealed this week alongside the week 9 challenges.
The Fortnite snowfall skin is the reward for completing nine weeks worth of the snowfall challenges.
Players who have been completing the Fortnite snowfall challenges so far each week will get to unlock the skin in a few days time.
But ahead of that the Fortnite snowfall skin is likely to leak.
The Fortnite snowfall skin is similar to the road trip skin and hunting party skin from previous seasons.
During past Battle Passes these skins were revealed early in the loading screen for the week that the cosmetics became available to unlock.
So, when the next Fortnite patch drops (which is likely to be on Tuesday) dataminers will surely uncover the next few weeks’ loading screens.
And in those loading screen the Fortnite snowfall skin is likely to be pictured.
It’s widely believed that the Fortnite snowfall skin is the prisoner that has been frozen in Polar Peaks and is slowly defrosting.
Day by day the block of ice housing the prisoner has been thawing, with the prisoner’s arm now showing.
All that’s left is the body of the prisoner, with it likely days away from the prisoner completely being defrosted.
But it’s likely that Fortnite fans will figure out the prisoner’s identity - and snowfall skin’s look - after the release of update 7.30.
The next Fortnite patch is due to drop on Tuesday and dataminers will likely be busy rummaging through the files to find the snowfall skin.
Ahead of the Fortnite snowfall skin reveal, some fans on Twitter had been speculating that the recently leaked Malcore cosmetic was the prisoner.
But that rumour has since been debunked with Malcore appearing in the Fortnite shop today.
The prevailing rumour is that the prisoner and snowfall skin is the Fortnite fire king.
This hero would be the perfect antidote to the nefarious ice king which covered the Fortnite Battle Royale map in snow during the major season seven event.
Reminder: This are the texture for the snowfall skin (Prisoner), this skin might be customizable it might have different forms, we will need to wait for the next update maybe tomorrow to see if it has different forms #Fortnite #FortniteBR #FortniteSTW pic.twitter.com/RGjrVc170e

At the moment the biggest leak surrounding the Fortnite snowfall skin is a leaked texture pack showing what the prisoner could look like.
The leaked textures show a stone-like body as well as what looks like orange pieces of clothing or armour.
