Epic Games leaks by an oversight the skin of The Mandalorian in Fortnite, in addition to the Fortnite Crew Subscription, a new subscription to the game.
With a week before the Galactus event begins, the end of Season 4 of the Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 2, Epic Games, deliberately or by mistake, allows new elements of Season 5 to be leaked: the skin The Mandalorian, and a new subscription system called “Fortnite Crew Subscription”. We tell you everything we know just below:

* The Battle Pass of the season we are in

Skin The Mandalorian and Fortnite Crew Subscription in Fortnite: everything we know
At around 3:40 p.m. CET on November 24, 2020, Epic Games uploaded a series of images and text to the Fortnite website that refer to a new subscription system for the game, called “Fortnite Crew Subscription”, and that It would be implemented from next December 2. This content is hidden on the frontend of the website, but using reverse engineering and datamining applications, a Discord bot tipped us off all this new content. These are a couple of the specific images uploaded by Epic:

From the text found we can deduce the following:
- The “Fortnite Crew” will be available in the Item Shop starting December 2. It will cost $ 11.99.
- The Fortnite Crew subscription is associated with the platform on which we play. This subscription will give us the Battle Pass of the season we are in, new cosmetic objects (skins, backpacks, picks …), 1,000 V-Bucks per month. The V-Bucks can only be used on the same platform on which we purchased the subscription, while there will be no problem to use the rest of the objects on other platforms where we play Fortnite.
- The objects that are acquired through the Fortnite Crew subscription are exclusive to it. That is, they cannot be obtained in any other way.
- The Battle Bundle has been replaced by a 25-level pack, available for 1,850 V-Bucks. This offer can be purchased by players who are, at most, season level 75.
- The December 2020 Crew Pack brings us the Galaxia skin with an additional style, the Cosmic Hornflame pickaxe and the Fractured World backpack.
Returning again to the images, in them we can see The Mandalorian, the Star Wars character from the Disney + series. This means that The Mandalorian will have a Fortnite skin, not yet available in the game files at the time we write this news. From the context, we deduce that it will be one of the gifts for being subscribed to Fortnite Crew Subscription.
Although in the changes detected on the Fortnite website there is also another somewhat more revealing image: a new logo for the game in the Epic Games Store, in the center of which you can see the skin The Mandalorian.
Epic Games would have “accidentally” uploaded this image to the Fortnite website. Two things:
* Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 could be Star Wars themed
* The secret skin of Season 5 would be The Mandalorian # Fortnite # FortniteSeason4 pic.twitter.com/Es6Hk0mvIx– Rubén Martínez (@ruvenmb) November 24, 2020
Typically, in the center of the main Fortnite image each season, the Battle Pass tier 100 skin appears. In other words: this other image, let’s remember, official and taken as is from the Fortnite website, could indicate that the skin of level 100 of the Battle Pass of Season 5 would be The Mandalorian.
At around 4:30 p.m. CET on 11/24/2020, the Fortnite Club, which is what this new subscription is called, opens its own section on the video game’s website, and confirms everything we have filtered. In this link we can know all the details of this new subscription system.
