The newest Meowdas skin for Fortnite has 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 of Fortnite's skin designs is Meowscles, a muscular man with a cat's head.

The next Fortnite chapter was teased last week, hinting at a Meowscles and Midas mashup, and many 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," user These_Maintenance_97/Reddit shares a higher-quality version of the upcoming skin. Originally shown by Shiina on X, the image reveals a 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"

The Fortnite fan community was hesitantly optimistic when the game leaked the coming Meowscles and Midas mashup last week. The actual design scheduled to come out is not what fans imagined it, with many criticizing it as being downright terrible. Redditor BinDarRedDat99 says, "It's just plain disturbing," while Acrobatic_Badger_122 notes 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.

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 among Fortnite fans, 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.

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 user itspnt, 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 on Fortnite.
