Fortnite Teases Kai Cenat Icon Series Crossover Coming Soon
Kai Cenat, a Twitch superstar, shocked the gaming community on August 17, when he announced his Fortnite Icon Series skin, which will be officially revealed on August 18 at 8:30 PM PST/11:30 PM EST on his stream.
Cenat, the platform’s third-most popular streamer, prompted a cheeky “LEAKED” response from Fortnite’s official account, confirming the connection. This is Kai Cenat’s second Fortnite cameo after he appeared in the Reload trailer with Sketch and the AMP team in 2024.
The announcement caused fan excitement, with streamers such as Clix and CouRage hyping the reveal, however several pointed out Cenat’s limited Fortnite gameplay, which included a 57-hour marathon session with iShowSpeed. Some fans even believe that it should have been Speed who should’ve gotten an Icon skin first, and not Cenat.
Regardless, fans expect a bundle that includes a special skin, emote, pickaxe, and back bling, possibly reflecting Cenat’s lively personality and signature style, similar to other Icon releases such as Nick Eh 30’s music video-based reveal.
