It’s rare for Epic Games to make a Fortnite Icon skin for a content creator who isn’t specifically focused on Fortnite, but it does happen occasionally. And it looks like another influencer is joining that club this week, as Kai Cenat teased on Sunday.
As the tweet indicates, Cenat is going to reveal the new skin on Monday night at 8:30 PM PT / 11:30 PM ET, and the announcement should happen live on Twitch, since that’s usually how they do these things. There will probably be a tournament in the next few days where players can earn the skin for free, before it releases in the item shop later in the week.
Fortnite typically awards Icon skins–that being a skin based on a real human being, rather than a fictional character–either to streamers who have a specific focus on Fortnite, or celebrities who are much more broadly famous, like Mariah Carey, Shaquille O’Neal, Sabrina Carpenter, and other folks like that.
Cenat, however, is Fortnite’s third Icon Skin, after Mr. Beast and Khaby Lame, that falls in between those two categories–content creators who are famous enough to get a skin despite not being known for playing Fortnite. Epic doesn’t do this very often. The Mr. Beast skins were released in December 2022, and Khaby Lame was on the Chapter 4 Season 4 battle pass two years ago. Cenat will be the first such Icon skin to hit Fortnite since Khaby Lame.
