Data miners are hard at work scouring through the update files of the latest Fortnite V6.20 patch, hoping to find clues and hints about what is coming up in the massively popular battle royale title.

One thing that they have been able to find is the future of the popular Galaxy skin, which will be getting a new glider, pickaxe and back bling at some stage in the future.

It seems like these items will be retroactively given to players who already own the Galaxy skin, as the file these items were found in is labelled ‘Cosmetics.Source.Promo’, and not in the ‘Cosmetics.Source.ItemShop’ folder that they appear in before they become available to purchase in-game.

The three items are all labelled with the term ‘Celestial’, linking them back to the Galaxy skin, that was only available to Fortnite players who purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phone during a special promotion earlier in the summer.

Images of all three items have been found in the files, named the ‘Galactic Disk’ back bling, the ‘Discovery’ glider and the ‘Stellar’ pickaxe, although there is no official release date for this pack.

Data miners have already leaked the loading screens for the Week 5 Hunting Party challenges, along with unreleased skins, pickaxes and cosmetic items.

These leaks have all been found in the update files for Fortnite patch V6.20, which officially launched Fortnitemares, a spooky Halloween event that will be taking place, alongside a new weapon named the ‘Six Shooter’.
