New leaks indicate that the upcomingFortniteCrew Pack skin for July 2025 might be a clever reference to the in-game Reboot Van. If true, the skin will show up in July 2025 as part of the exclusiveFortniteCrew subscription service.
Fortnitehas spent so long reigning near the top of the charts as one of thebest live service gamesaround that its fans and players have developed a subculture around the game’s development and various past events. Even now, some veteran fans think back fondly on the earlier days ofFortniteBattle Royale, with events likeFortnite OGand the remixes of older seasons catering to that sense of nostalgia. Developer Epic Games even leans into that sense of community history, occasionally reviving or remixing popular older skin packs to bring new twists to beloved concepts.
Fortnite Crew Pack Skin for July 2025 Turns Reboot Van Into Reboot Man
According to the leak, the Reboot Man skin will be part of theFortniteChapter 6 Season 3"Supernova Academy" set. The skin also comes with a variant for use inLEGO Fortnite, as well as a Back Bling item that mounts a mini version of the original Reboot Van to a player’s back, and a pair of reboot sword harvesting tools. The Reboot Man skin will also include multiple styles, including a “mask off” accessory that shows the character’s human face.
Player reactions to the reveal were generally positive, with many praising the creative reinterpretation of the now-classicFortniteReboot Vanconcept. A few shared fond memories of having fun in the small team modes and told stories of gambits enabled by the addition of Reboot Vans to the game back in Season 8. A few players were less impressed, complaining about “yet another” superhero suit character and calling for more original costume designs that aren’t hero- or armor-themed.
