A new leak in the Fortnite scene indicates Juice WRLD’s skin draws inspiration from the “Righteous” music video.
Fortnite players are eager for the release of Juice WRLD's first-ever in-game skin. Epic Games teased this long-awaited collaboration in the Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix trailer, confirming the crossover would happen toward the season's end. Apart from Epic Games, the Juice WRLD skin design remained a mystery until recent intel surfaced from Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR. Here is what we know so far!
Juice WRLD's Fortnite skin will draw inspiration from "Righteous" music video
Epic Games confirmed in the Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix blog post that Juice WRLD's skin would appear cel-shaded, creating speculation about the design the developers would present to fans. Ultimately, ShiinaBR has confirmed that the music video for Juice WRLD's "Righteous" inspired the "Slayer Juice WRLD" skin. An anime-esque version of the rapper appeared in the video, depicted wearing orange pants, a white shirt, and his signature 999 logo.
The animated Juice WRLD character first appears in the video at the 2:10 mark. It's unclear whether this will be the only version of Juice WRLD available in Fortnite. The Chapter 2 Remix trailer depicted a more genuine Icon Series design for the late rapper, whereas the intel by ShiinaBR aligns more with the game's anime characters.

When is Juice WRLD coming to the game?
Those looking to acquire the Juice WRLD skin in Fortnite should mark Nov. 30 off on their calendars. The Fortnite Remix: The Finale begins on that day, which serves as a transitional event into Chapter 6—all players who log in between 1 a.m. ET between Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 will receive the Juice WRLD skin for free. If you miss out on that opportunity, it should be available later in the Item Shop.
We still aren't sure what other cosmetics Epic will offer in the set, but more information should surface soon.
