The newest Meowdas skin forFortnitehas been teased and fans are appalled and disappointed. The battle royale MMO is known for its vivid color use and memorable, often downright ridiculous designs. Among the most popular and strange-looking ofFortnite’sskin designs is Meowscles, a muscular man with a cat’s head.
The nextFortnitechapter was teased last week, hinting at a Meowscles and Midas mashup, andmany fans were excited at the idea of the muscular Meowscles wearing Midas' dapper outfit.However, a new teaser image has been revealed of what the skin will look like, and it’s not living up to fans' expectations.
In a Reddit post titled “This might just be the worst skin I have seen on a Battle Pass,” userThese_Maintenance_97/Redditshares a higher-quality version of the upcoming skin. Originally shown byShiinaon X, the image revealsa lackluster effort to remix the two fan-favorite skins into a new “remix” skin that fails to capture the charm of either design.

Fans Are Calling The Remix Skin “Disturbing”
TheFortnitefan community was hesitantly optimistic when the game leaked the comingMeowscles and Midas mashuplast week. The actual design scheduled to come out is not what fans imagined it, withmany criticizing it as being downright terrible.RedditorBinDarRedDat99says, “It’s just plain disturbing,” whileAcrobatic_Badger_122notes that “They combined two skins that already had tons of variants into one skin worse than all previous versions of both.” Even fans of Meowscles are finding this remix to be uncomfortable to look at since it seems to dip too far into the Uncanny Valley.
Fortnite Fans May Be Getting What They Hoped For As Epic Removes Caffeinated Emote From The Shop
Within 24 hours, Epic has temporarily pulled the Caffeinated Emote after fan backlash about the speed of the Sabrina Carpenter song ruining the emote.
The latter comment reflects the general consensus amongFortnitefans, that Epic Games is failing to deliver any new and exciting designs.Both Meowscles and Midas already have so many skins that they’re “old news,“and the community would prefer to see something brand new instead of more rehashes of existing content.
Some Claim This Battle Pass Is The Worst In Fortnite History
Though None Are As Disturbing As The Meowscles Skin
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that the “Meowdas” skin (as fans are calling it) is unique in its negative reception. The X post showcasing images of the latest battle pass was met with heavy critiques from fans,some agreeing that this could be the worst Battle Pass to hit the title.
Other skins featured in the teased image show off Female Guff, 8-Ball remix, Female Chaos Agent, and TNTina Remix, none of which are garnering much excitement from the community. “Why did they pick the worst skins to remix?” asks Twitter useritspnt, a sentiment that’s generally echoed throughout the X and Reddit posts on the topic. There’s no clear image of the new skins yet, which will launch on November 2 as part of the Chapter 2 Remix onFortnite.
