A potential partnership between popular streamer IShowSpeed and the game Fortnite came to light after a seemingly accidental leak during a recent live stream by fellow content creator Kai Cenat. This incident happened on September 9, when Cenat briefly revealed a Discord chat title that sent waves through the gaming community. At the top of his direct messages list, a chat titled “IShowSpeed x Fortnite Collab” was visible. This served as strong evidence that a collaboration may be in the works.
While the gaming world often sees elaborate pranks and hoaxes, the credibility of this leak is supported by the close friendship between the two creators. Kai Cenat is also a well-known figure in the streaming world and is set to get his own Icon Series skin in Fortnite. His cosmetic set is scheduled for release in the Item Shop on Friday, September 12. This follows an official announcement made at the Sphere in Las Vegas on August 19. The timing of Cenat’s release adds intrigue and hints at a coordinated effort between the two creators and the game’s developers.
The possibility of an IShowSpeed skin fits with Epic Games’ ongoing plan to include high-profile celebrities in the game. The Icon Series has previously featured famous artists and athletes like Marshmello and Travis Scott. Given IShowSpeed’s huge popularity and history with the game, this collaboration makes sense. If the rumors are true, it would mark another major step by Fortnite to reach a broader audience through cultural icons.
The community is now on high alert for more information. Speculation runs high that the two skins could be released at the same time, with IShowSpeed’s announced as a surprise to coincide with Cenat’s launch. Gamers and data miners are watching closely for any new leaks in the upcoming v37.20 and v37.30 patches, set to be released on September 10 and September 16, respectively. While the leak was brief, it has sparked a wave of excitement and anticipation among fans, all eager to see if the two streamers will soon join the world of Fortnite.
