Players can now harness the power of Timothee Chalamet, Tom Holland, Ninja, and Zendaya. And that’s just a few of the numerous licensed skins Fortnite has added.
Now, two unexpected skins are joining the battle royale. Later this month, players unlock Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak as playable characters.

We don’t currently know how much the skins will cost. However, each skin comes with three styles and its own back bling. There will also be purchasable pickaxes for each skin.
The Silk Sonic Tournament
Players have a chance to earn the Silk Sonic skins early by participating in the Silk Sonic Cup. The top placing teams in each region will get the Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak skins for free before their official release.
The tournament is on Monday, February 7th. Each region will have three hours to score as many points as possible in this Duo Cup. Any team that scores 8 points or more will earn the Silk Sonic Spray.

Kaws and Fortnite collaborated during the Chapter 2 Season 8 Fortnitemares event that brought four Skeleton outfits to the Item Shop. The artist has teased his return in Chapter r3 Season 3 and has most likely worked on a Peely reskin.
The first collaboration between Kaws and Fortnite was a massive hit. Fortnitemares was the perfect occasion for the artist to introduce his characters to the Battle Royale game.
Leakers were anticipating that a new crossover with a renowned artist will be announced tomorrow, but Kaws himself has confirmed it beforehand.
Kaws confirms his return to Fortnite through an Instagram post
Kaws recently posted an image with a card that says, “Dear Fortnite, see you soon”. What’s more interesting is the fact that a banana is placed beside the card.
It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that Peely is one of the, if not the most popular character in Fortnite. The walking banana was first introduced as a meme in Chapter 1 Season 8, and countless variants have arrived ever since. These include Unpeely, Agent Peely, Frozen Peely, and Peely Bone, among others.

A few minutes before Kaws confirmed the collaboration, leakers iFireMonkey and Shiina had these things to say about an upcoming Fortnite collaboration:
- A collaboration with a prominent artist will be announced tomorrow.
- A well-known Fortnite character will get a new style from the artist.
- Alongside the skin, there will be a back bling, a wrap, and a glider.
- The collaboration files will be decrypted tomorrow while the skins will arrive in the Item Shop 2-3 days later.
— iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) June 30, 2022From what I've been told, the upcoming collaboration that will be announced tomorrow will have a Skin, Back Bling, Glider, & a Wrap apart of the set.
The collab should be decrypted ~10 AM tomorrow & will be in the item shop ~2-3 days later.
It is fairly easy to join the dots now. A Kaws x Fortnite collaboration is imminent and Peely is the ‘well-known’ character who will receive a skin style. Having said that, the release date of the skin is still uncertain.

Considering that Peely already has a skeleton style (Peely Bone), it will be interesting to see how Kaws has redesigned the character this time. It is worth noting that according to the lore, Peely is not a single character but a tribe.

Mancake, literally a man with a pancake head, is one of the most popular Fortnite characters. He has received a ‘Major’ upgrade in Chapter 3 Season 3 and you can get the skin by completing five Fall Guys’ Crown Clash challenges.
Mancake and his unreal adventures in Butter Barn are quite famous among Fortnite players. The character has been on the island since Chapter 2 Season 5 and has played a significant role in the storyline repeatedly.
Here’s a preview of the upcoming Major Mancake skin in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.
How to get Major Mancake skin in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3
To be fair, the Major Mancake skin isn’t a noteworthy upgrade to the original skin. There are minor differences in the the outfit’s color scheme and the head is now more pancake-like.

Here’s a comparison between the original Mancake skin and the leaked Major Mancake skin:
The decrypted Major Mancake set also has the following items:
- Stacked! spray
- Sweet Clementine pickaxe
- Stacked with Love emoticon
- Waffler backbling
Leakers have reported that the emoticon and the spray do not have a source, which hints at Major Mancake being a promotional cosmetic.
Considering that Epic Games is about to announce the Fall Guys crossover in a few hours, it is safe to assume that Major Mancake will be a free reward from the Crown Clash challenges.

There will be five Crown Clash challenges and loopers will have to play a total of 100 Fall Guys shows to avail of all five free rewards.

10 Fall Guys Rounds: Stacked! Spray
20 Fall Guys Rounds: Stacked With Love Emoticon
40 Fall Guys Rounds: Sweet Clementine Pickaxe
70 Fall Guys Rounds: Waffler Backbling

Why Major Mancake could be a free Fortnite x Fall Guys reward
Leakers have discovered that the upcoming Fall Guys challenge will have five stages and the Major Mancake set comprises five cosmetics. These skins, sprays, and emoticons do not have Item Shop assets, and the pickaxe appears to have a Promo source.

Having said that, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for none of the Fall Guys x Fortnite rewards to be Fall Guys themed. Mancake is an original Fortnite character and has no relation with Mediatonic’s Battle Royale game.

With the release of Chapter 3 Season 3, players saw the arrival of several characters and new outfits in the Battle Pass that they have been waiting for.

However, apart from the traditional Item Shop cosmetics, this time around players seem to love the Save The World Skate Park Royalty pack and are not hesitating to cop the exclusive outfit. Although, some were still waiting for the Crew Pack to hit the Item Shop to make their choice between the two as the latter offers a hefty amount of V-Bucks and the season’s Battle Pass.
As loopers saw some major changes arrive in the v21.10 update last week, Epic announced its July Crew Pack cosmetics which come with the usual combo but this time around, also comes with an exclusive Save The World access to subscribers.
Phaedra arrives to the island with July Fortnite Crew Pack

Moreover, players who already own the Battle Pass, will be getting 950 V-Bucks back in addition to the 1000 V-Bucks as a Crew Pack Bonus. For $11.99, this crew pack offers a lot more than its value and is bang for the buck for those who want to purchase it or subscribe to it.
However, loopers can also subscribe to the current Mecha Strike Commander Crew Pack to get both the cosmetics of June’s as well as July’s crew packs right in their lockers, with the V-Bucks and Save The World access the latter promises.
