One Fortnite player shared an image of an unreleased skin, claiming that their friend found a bot wearing the outfit in a public lobby. Bots have caused a lot of controversy in the Fortnite community, as they were added with the implementation of skill-based matchmaking. Most recently, Fortnite OG was released without any bots at all, which pleased a large portion of the community. However, skill-based matchmaking was quickly implemented, introducing bots into the classic game mode.
Epic Games is on the verge of releasing Chapter 6 Season 2 of Fortnite, which is rumored to be heist-themed. As of this writing, the newest Fortnite season is planned to make its debut on February 21. Every season comes with a number of changes to the battle royale’s loot pool, mechanics, and more. While many people are excited to see what changes will be made to the map, a lot of gamers are curious to see the new skins that will be added to the upcoming battle pass.

Fortnite Leak Reveals All Chapter 6 Season 2 Update Release Dates
A new leak reveals the scheduled dates for all upcoming Fortnite content updates ahead of the game’s Chapter 6 Season 2 cycle.
In a recent post on Reddit, SheCameFromMars shared an image of an unreleased Fortnite skin their friend claimed to see in a public lobby. According to leaks, the outfit is called Ghoul and looks similar to a black and red ninja. SheCameFromMars believes the skin must have been equipped to a bot, as players do not have access to the cosmetic. Other fans were quick to share similar experiences, stating that they’ve seen bots inexplicably use unreleased emotes days before they entered the Item Shop. Some gamers theorized that bots pull from the entire cosmetic library of the popular battle royale, with no filter weeding out unreleased skins.
Fortnite Player Spots the Unreleased Ghoul Skin
One fan suggested that the outfit could have been used by one of Fortnite‘s content creators, though it’s a fairly unlikely possibility. Typically, when a skin is released to content creators, it’s publicly announced and the creators themselves post reviews or gameplay. The Ghoul outfit hasn’t been given to anyone, meaning it was likely a bot or an Epic employee using the cosmetic.
Plenty of skins are rumored to be released before the start of Chapter 6 Season 2, including a new Iron Man bundle in Fortnite. According to leakers, the skin will feature four unique edit styles, one of which is modeled after Doctor Doom. The skin itself may be priced at 2,000 V-Bucks, with the backbling and harvester sold separately. The highly anticipated outfit is rumored to arrive on February 13. With so many fresh cosmetics on the way, many fans are excited to see what Epic Games will come up with next.
