Fortnite players bash Aphrodite skin as “major downgrade” from concept art

Fortnite players are causing an uproar over the lack of similarity between the survey and the in-game version of the Aphrodite skin.

The start of Chapter 5 Season 2 has been rocky, with countless delays and numerous issues with purchases and matchmaking. But after a full day of issues, Fortnite has finally come through on the other side.

Myths and Mortals, the theme for this season, brings Greek gods and goddesses into the world of Fortnite. Players can unlock their skins through the battle pass or see them in-game thanks to NPCs.

However, as if the tech issues weren’t bad enough, now players are complaining about the lack of detail added to one of the most highly-anticipated skins of the season.

Fortnite players call Aphrodite skin a “major downgrade”

Before releasing the skins in the battle pass, Epic Games released a survey for fans to vote on. This survey revealed potential upcoming skins that would match the Myths and Mortals theme.

While the skins were well-received, some players think that Epic let them down by releasing downgraded versions of the concepts. The skin that has faced the most criticism so far has been the Aphrodite skin.

“The concept art has always looked so much better than the actual skins,” said one commenter. “It’s so disappointing sometimes.”

Aphrodite is not the only skin that players felt was a watered-down version of the survey skins.

“I feel like every skin besides Artemis is like at least a little worse than the survey art,” replied another. “But man did Aphrodite and Medusa really get the short end of the stick.”

There are still additional skins from the survey that have not been revealed in the game. It’s uncertain whether these skins will be added to the item shop at a later date or if they will remain merely as skin concepts.
