This week, Resident Evil Requiem will introduce the franchise’s new heroine, Grace Ashcroft. And if a new report is accurate, Grace will be making her Fortnite debut this week as well.
Fortnite leaker HYPEX is reporting that Grace Ashcroft’s skin will drop in Fortnite on February 28, and it will be available until March 7. However, the report notes that Fortnite’s previously released RE skins may not be back alongside Grace because they haven’t been updated yet.
GRACE ASHCROFT DROPS @ FEB 28 UNTIL MARCH 7
Old Resident Evil skins might not return with her first release as they’re currently still not updated, and the next major update (C7S2) was previously delayed to March 19, so they might not return until she returns again later pic.twitter.com/ronnBNVC7E— HYPEX (@HYPEX) February 24, 2026
Players who pre-ordered Resident Evil Requiem on Epic Games Store between October 29, 2025 and February 26, 2026 will get the Grace Ashcroft skin for free as long as players’ Fortnite accounts are linked with their EGS accounts. Everyone else will have to make a separate purchase for the Grace Ashcroft skin during its window of availability. The price is expected to be in line with other licensed character’s skins.
Resident Evil Requiem will on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on February 27. The recommended PC specs were shared earlier this week. Some players have gotten their hands on the game early and shared spoilers online. In response, Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya suggested that those leakers should be cursed to never play games again.
As for Fortnite, Chapter 7 Season 2 was delayed to March 19 over the game’s stability issues. Newly crowned Winter Olympics gold medalist skater Alysa Liu has recently shared her desire to get a skin in Fortnite. Madison Beer has also asked Epic for a Fortnite skin based on herself.
