BREAKING: Kim Kardashian has officially debuted in Fortnite, launching her highly anticipated collaboration with the game’s Icon Series. Players can now immerse themselves in the battle royale universe with a custom SKIMS cosmetics collection featuring an unprecedented 336 unique style combinations.
This exciting launch comes as Epic Games pushes the boundaries of celebrity collaborations, placing Kardashian among entertainment icons like Eminem and Ariana Grande. The moment is especially significant for fans as players can choose from various customizations, including bodysuit types, latex colors, gloves, and hairstyles.
Starting today, players can purchase the standard Kim Kardashian outfit for 1,500 V-Bucks or opt for the exclusive Iconic Kim Kardashian variant for 1,800 V-Bucks. Each version allows for extensive customization that truly reflects Kardashian’s SKIMS brand vision.
The cosmetics collection features three main looks: a luxurious fur coat ensemble, a sleek SKIMS bodysuit, and a striking leather combat suit, each customizable with seven vibrant latex colors. Additionally, players will enjoy themed items such as the Kim Air glider, the Ring Light to Go back bling, and the playful Kim’s Kit makeup bag.
Two unique pickaxes, the Full Beat Brush and the Bag Basher, add further fun and flair, with the latter referencing a memorable moment from Kardashian’s past. Players can also unlock entertaining emotes, including one inspired by Kardashian’s iconic 2014 Paper Magazine cover.
“We would just perfect everything… making sure everything looked as realistic as possible,” Kardashian shared in an interview with Elle.
For dedicated players, the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup offered an exclusive early access opportunity on 12 December. Top performers in the solo Battle Royale tournament were awarded the Iconic Kim Kardashian outfit well before it appeared in the Item Shop. Up to 2,350 winners from Europe and 250 from other regions received the skin, while anyone scoring at least eight points earned the Heart Breakers spray.
As reactions flood social media, opinions vary widely. While some players celebrate this collaboration as one of the best in Fortnite history, others question its relevance in a shooting game. Kardashian’s engagement includes promoting the release alongside her Hulu series All’s Fair and a recent SKIMS partnership with The North Face.
“Kim, there are people dying… in @fortnite,” Kardashian humorously referenced a past episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in her promotional material, eliciting mixed reactions online.
This collaboration is just one of many that highlight Fortnite as a cultural platform, seamlessly blending fashion, music, and gaming. With prior partnerships featuring brands like Balenciaga, Moncler, and Jordan Brand, the inclusion of SKIMS is a natural progression.
As this collaboration unfolds, players can expect to explore a new realm of customization that reflects modern virtual identity. Whether or not you believe Kim Kardashian belongs in Fortnite, it’s clear that Epic Games continues to innovate within the gaming landscape, and this launch is just the beginning.
Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking collaboration and what it means for the future of gaming and celebrity culture.
