Customizable Fortnite 2018 World Cup Skins Revealed in V4.4 Update

The hottest video game in the world is soon set to celebrate the biggest global sporting event, as the v4.4 update for Fortnite includes World Cup-themed skins.

According to Dion Dassanayake of Express, a look at the v4.4 files attached to Fortnite's Battle Royale mode shows that gamers will have an opportunity to purchase four different soccer-related skins for their characters.

There are also soccer-themed pickaxes, gliders and back bling. That includes a pickax in the form of a vuvuzela and a glider that looks like an oversized soccer ball.

World Cup emotes will be available as well, allowing characters to juggle a soccer ball or throw up a red card.
