New Fortnite Survey Reveals Skin Critiquing AI-Generated Art

Epic Games is surveying fans to get their thoughts on potential new Fortnite skins, and one particular design, a skin poking fun at AI-generated art, has caught the community’s attention. This AI-inspired skin is causing quite a buzz due to its eerie look, especially the distorted hands, making it a fitting candidate for Fortnitemares.

Though Fortnite is technically free, players know there’s no shortage of enticing ways to spend money in the game. With the Item Shop refreshing daily, offering a new batch of skins, the game’s cosmetic collection only grows. Once showing just six to eight items daily during Chapter 1, the shop now boasts over ten pages brimming with all kinds of skins and items.

Epic Games often taps into its player base’s opinions through surveys to gauge the appeal of new skin designs before they hit the Item Shop. It’s not uncommon for fan favorites from these surveys to eventually be available as part of the Battle Pass or sold directly in the shop. So, when a survey sheet showcases potential new skins, there’s a pretty good chance the most popular ones will appear in the game soon.

A recent Twitter post by user j2shuaa brought one of the latest survey skins into the spotlight. This particular design humorously mocks common errors found in AI art, most notably through the depiction of hands—AI’s infamous weak spot. This skin features an extra unsettling detail: three hands—a regular one tucked in a pocket, with two more bizarrely formed, complete with multiple additional fingers. It’s certainly one of Fortnite’s most unnerving designs to date.

With its unsettling features, this quirky skin seems perfect for a Fortnitemares release in October. However, whether it makes the final cut will depend on player feedback from the surveys and the overall fit within the game’s narrative.

As per Fortnite.gg, the game currently has around 350 survey skins waiting to be released. Many of these end up in Fortnite due to various reasons. Some tie into the season’s theme and appear in the Battle Pass, while others align with ongoing narratives, warranting their inclusion in the Fortnite Crew Pack. However, many simply find a place in the Item Shop, independent of any Fortnite storylines.

For gamers curious about the AI parody skin, patience is key as they await further announcements.

Fortnite continues its legacy of offering free gameplay modes, where players can enjoy being the last one standing in Battle Royale or explore endless creator-made games of diverse genres. Whether teamed up in the Fortnite Crew or exploring creative modes, the game invites players to immerse in vast, destructible worlds with their friends any day.
