Fortnite Season 5 gets anime-inspired skin among 2 others

After Lexa, this the Orin is the latest anime-inspired skin in Fortnite’s latest season 5

Recent leaks from Fortnite have revealed multiple new skins that appear to be inspired by anime. This seems to be a follow-up to updates received by the game last December, when a brand new anime-inspired skin called ‘Lexa’ was released, and Fortnite players could unlock it at level 73 after purchasing the Chapter 2 Season 5 Battle Pass. The recent skin called Orin seems to be the male version of the Lexa skin.

The Orin skin which seems to be the star update for Fortnite this time clearly appears to be anime-inspired. It also bears a strong resemblance to the Lexa skin that was released as part of the Battle Pass for Chapter 2 Season 5 of Fortnite. Similar to Lexa, Orin also wears purple pants and a grey t-shirt and has a similar red hue in his eyes.

While the Tess skin is expected to be released as part of the Original Outlaws set, Orin has been touted to be part of Fortnite’s Y-Labs Rescue set. The Orin skin’s forte is its anime-inspired theme and is one of the multiple skins that are expected to be released during Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5.
