Fortnite fan claims new \u2018Grimbles\u2019 skin is inspired by their concept Screenshot from ascarycl0wnEpic Games added a selection of new content to the Fortnite Item Shop on December 22, which included the Grimbles Outfit, and one fan thinks it was inspired by their own concept. The new character, which has a festive gnome design, is labelled as a Rare Outfit and is available on the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,200 V-Bucks. However, when one Reddit user realized how Grimbles looked in the game, they posted a reminder on the game\u2019s subreddit of a concept that they had posted over 8 months ago \u2013 called \u2018Woodland Warriors\u2019 \u2013 and the two do look very similar. If you look at the concept outfit on the left (below), or Klaus as his creator yg99 named it, you can see a lot of similarities between Grimbles facial features and even the attire. While some fans might be a bit annoyed by Epic adding a skin which is very similar to there\u2019s without credit, the Reddit user simply said they were \u201cmind blown\u201d when they saw it had been added to the game\u2019s store. While the creator of the \u2018Woodland Warriors\u2019 concept thinks that their design has been added to the game, with a few tweaks, other Reddit users suggested that it might not be the case. \u201cNot only is that a stereotypical gnome look, but the pointy hat and pointy beard were already established as the chosen look if a gnome skin were to come,\u201d TeaTimeKoshii said. The concept from yg99 does look distinctly similar to the gnomes which already feature in Fortnite, they simply just translated that into a skin design. Whether or not Epic has taken any inspiration from the Woodland Warriors concept is unknown at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
