The wait for season nine Fortnite skins is over. Epic Games has released the v9.00 update patch notes, which are the first of season nine, and a sneak peek at this season’s Battle Pass skins will come with them. Some of the skins were leaked early in the morning, but most of them were revealed a few hours later when the v9.00 patch notes were released. As revealed by the season nine teasers, many skins have a futuristic and robotic vibe to them. Tier one and 100 especially incorporate that, and players will be able to unlock progressive styles for them as they play. Here are all of the season nine Battle Pass skins revealed so far.
