Fortnite has decided to remove the "Dead Skin" skin and swap it with the "Best Game" skin in LEGO Fortnite.
Epic Games did not clarify the reason for the replacement but many players are suggesting that the company is taking precautions on potentially harmful content to young gamers.

LEGO Fortnite 'Best Game' Skin Now Available
LEGO Fortnite is known for having a younger player base compared to other game modes in Fortnite. The company has been keen on tweaking some elements to prevent showing age-appropriate stuff in the game.
For instance, other skins on Fortnite showed different variations from their LEGO Fortnite counterpart. In addition, violent weapons like guns and bullets were removed from the non-Battle Royale version.
The "Dead Game" skin of Veronika is part of the Checkered Past in-game bundle. It was first showcased in the shop in 2022 when a meme of the same title became viral. Veronika's shirt on the LEGO Fortnite version now shows "Best Game."

The new update, which debuted on May 3, will just be in time for the May the Fourth celebration. New missions and in-themed cosmetics and accessories will be released in the shop.
Epic Games has been collaborating with the "Star Wars" franchise to promote various events and characters. Shows like "Ahsoka," "The Mandalorian", and more are often offered to gamers. Characters from the original trilogy were also among the first LEGO Fortnite playable skins.
