Fortnite Leaks Reveal First Look at Disney Villains Skins
Reliable leakers have shared a first look at Fortnite’s upcoming Disney Villains skins, featuring highly customizable looks for Maleficent and Hades.
Classic Disney Baddies Are Coming to the Island
Fortnite players are about to get a lot more mischievous. Over the last few days, some of the game’s most reliable data miners have uncovered a fresh batch of skins that will make Disney fans very happy. We are getting villains. High-quality renders of the upcoming Disney Villains collection have surfaced online, giving us our best look yet at how these legendary characters will translate into the battle royale.
Prominent community leakers like HYPEX and ShiinaBR shared the images, which instantly set social media alight. The lineup features three of Disney’s most iconic antagonists:
- Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty
- Hades from Hercules
- Captain Hook from Peter Pan
Customization Details for Maleficent and Hades
This is not just a basic set of character models. Epic Games is going all out on the customization options, particularly for Maleficent and Hades. According to the leaks, Maleficent will come with her traditional human look alongside a monstrous, dragon-inspired style. She will also sport glowing green energy effects. Her back bling is reportedly her classic spinning wheel, a clever nod to her animated debut in 1959.
Then there is Hades. Players might remember that Fortnite featured a version of Hades in Chapter 5, Season 2, which was based on Greek mythology. But this new skin is the classic, sassy Disney version. He features his signature blue-flame hair, dark robes, and a sarcastic smirk. Rumors suggest his fiery hair will react dynamically during gameplay, flaring up with orange flames whenever you secure an elimination.
Captain Hook Completes the Trio
Captain Hook looks just as impressive. He looks exactly like his animated counterpart, boasting his massive crimson coat, his elegant hat with a large white feather, and, of course, his namesake hook. His pickaxe is rumored to be a rapier, and he might even get a miniature version of the Jolly Roger as a glider. It is a highly detailed recreation that captures his theatrical personality perfectly.
When Can Players Buy Them?
While Epic Games has not officially announced a release date yet, the community is pointing to one obvious window: Fortnitemares. Fortnite’s annual Halloween event is famous for bringing spooky collaborations to the Item Shop, and late October seems like the perfect time to drop these wicked characters.
This crossover is part of a much larger plan. Earlier this year, Disney spent a massive $1.5 billion to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games. They promised a multi-year universe that would link Fortnite with classic Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars properties. We saw the Disney Villains teased during the D23 event inside Fortnite back in August, and these leaks prove those plans are moving fast. Players should start saving their V-Bucks now, as these bundles are expected to be highly popular.
