According to the notable Fortnite leaker HYPEX, Epic is working on an unreleased NPC with the codename "EightBall." HYPEX further adds that the said NPC carries an SMG. You can check out his tweet below. What's interesting is that the esthetic or the NPC and its background image is congruent with the Fortnitemares style, indicating that the NPC's arrival isn't far off.
As can be discerned from the tweet, the new NPC skin somewhat looks reminiscent of the 8-Ball Skin from Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1. However, this new NPC has more of a street ninja vibe to it.
8-Ball vs. Scratch is a two-character outfit that follows the EGO vs. ALTER storyline, acting like a cyborg ninja and has four edit styles. As of now, it is unclear when Epic is planning to launch this codenamed NPC.
The developers have a long history of re-releasing skins in Fortnite. The community estimates that Epic may release the EightBall skin during Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 10 if it doesn't arrive this season. This is similar to how the developers released the re-skins for other characters in the Chapter 1 Season 10 Battle Pass .
That being said, Epic is known for its erratic behavior and might even release the Fortnite EightBall NPC skin early. Players will have to wait for further leaks or new information. New skins are always a matter of excitement, and this latest leak will undoubtedly make the wait for the skin a bit tough.
