Popular battle royale game Fortnite is reportedly gearing up for a major collaboration with famous YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed. Rumours suggest a brand-new cosmetic bundle featuring the internet personality could be the final Icon Series release of the year, arriving just in time for the Winterfest 2025 celebrations.
The Leaked Details of the Fortnite x IShowSpeed Bundle
According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by a well-known tipster who goes by the name FireMonker, the collaboration is set to go live on December 24 at 7 PM Eastern Time. The leaker shared an image of Speed posing in front of a wall with the Fortnite logo, adding credibility to the claim. While Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, has not made any official announcement, the online community is buzzing with excitement.
The leaked bundle, as described by the tipster, appears to be quite substantial. It is said to include two unique outfits (skins), two back blings, two pickaxes, one glider, one wrap, and one jam track. This would allow players to fully embody the energetic persona of IShowSpeed in the game. The leaker emphasised that this bundle aims to capture everything that makes Speed a significant cultural force online.
Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 7: A Nostalgic Winter Blast
This potential collaboration news comes hot on the heels of Epic Games launching Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 7 earlier this month. This season is a nostalgic throwback, reviving the original holiday-themed season from 2018. The update began dramatically with a massive iceberg crashing into the island, transforming the southwest corner into a new snow biome.
The icy impact destroyed old favourites like Greasy Grove and Flush Factory, replacing them with three new named locations: Polar Peak, Frosty Flights, and Happy Hamlet. The season also marked the debut of The Block, a dedicated area for showcasing user-created content from Fortnite Creative tools.
Key features reintroduced in this OG season include the X-4 Stormwing biplane and the infamous Infinity Blade, an overpowered melee weapon that was originally vaulted after causing chaos. The season pass offers customizable versions of classic skins like Sgt Winter, Lynx, and Onesie. Furthermore, the season is set to replay the iconic Ice Storm live event from January 19, 2019, where a magical blizzard covered the entire island in snow for weeks.
What This Means for Players
If the rumours are true, the IShowSpeed collaboration would be a major addition to Fortnite's ever-growing list of celebrity and influencer Icon Series skins. It represents the game's continued strategy of blending gaming with broader internet culture. However, until Epic Games makes an official statement, players are advised to treat this information with cautious optimism.
For now, fans have plenty to enjoy with the ongoing Fortnite OG Season 7, which successfully brings back a beloved chapter of the game's history with its winter-themed map, vehicles, and events. The potential arrival of an IShowSpeed bundle would be the perfect festive surprise to cap off the year for the game's massive Indian and global player base.
