Fortnite fans gave Epic Games the side eye after catching a glimpse of yet another Peely skin variant. Players are calling out Fortnite for “milking” this banana for profit.
Since then, Epic has released 15 different Peely skins, including Agent Peely, Polar Peely, and Toon Peely. While many players have embraced these skins, the relentless stream of variants is starting to cause frustration.
The backlash intensified after the Peelverine variant – which combines Peely with a Wolverine-inspired look – was shown in the FortniteChapter 5 Season 4 trailerand images leaked via data miner Hypex.

Their post read, “Potentially ANOTHER Peely (Deadpool) Skin, they’re MILKING this skin” and included an image of three Peelverines hanging out with a Peely dressed as Deadpool (Deadpeel?).
The reaction from players was critical. One user commented, “AND THERES STILL THE LEAKED KLOMBO PEELY COMING WHAT IS GOING ON LMAO.”
Another vented, “we will never escape that god damn banana.”
A third quipped, “Bout be over a 100 peelys soon.”
While this number is quite an exaggeration, it’s not hard to imagine Epic Games reaching that many Peelys in the coming years.
Despite the grumbling, excitement is building for Fortnite’s upcoming Chapter 5, Season 4. This newMarvel-themed season, starting on August 16, promises fresh content andmay signal the end of the current DC collabs.
