Epic Games has surprised Fortnite players with a limited-time gift to celebrate the upcoming chapter. The Yuki Yubari Outfit is currently free for anyone who logs into the game, but the window to claim it is incredibly short.
Free skins outside of Winterfest or major collaborations are rare, so whenever a full outfit drops for zero V-Bucks, it's worth paying attention. This specific drop seems to be setting the stage for the "Fortnite After Dark" theme associated with the next chapter, titled "The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge."
How to Claim the Yuki Yubari Outfit
The requirements here are minimal. You don't need to complete a complex questline or watch Twitch streams for drops. You simply need to log into the game lobby within the specific timeframe.
The claim window is open right now:
- Start: November 27, 2025 at 9 AM ET
- End: December 1, 2025 at 9 AM ET
If you miss this window, it is unclear if or when this skin will return to the Item Shop, so boot up your console, PC, or mobile device even if you don't plan on playing a full match today.
What does this mean for the New Chapter?
This giveaway bridges the gap to the next era of Battle Royale. The new Chapter officially kicks off on November 29, 2025. The "Yuki's Revenge" subtitle attached to this drop suggests a darker, perhaps more narrative-driven tone for the season opener compared to previous bright and poppy seasons.
We usually see downtime begin early in the morning on launch day, so having this skin secured beforehand ensures you are ready to drop in style when the servers come back up for the new map.
