Fortnite’s Icon Series Poised to Welcome IShowSpeed Following Accidental Leak

Fortnite’s Icon Series, which integrates prominent figures from entertainment and gaming into its virtual universe, may soon include streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. The potential collaboration was inadvertently revealed during a recent livestream by fellow content creator Kai Cenat.

On September 9, 2025, during his “Mafiathon 3” stream, Cenat accidentally displayed a Discord group chat titled “IShowSpeed x Fortnite Collab” on his screen. This unintentional exposure sparked widespread speculation about a forthcoming partnership between IShowSpeed and Fortnite. Given Cenat’s close association with IShowSpeed and their history of joint gaming sessions, the leak quickly attracted significant attention within the gaming community.

The accidental reveal has generated mixed reactions among fans. Some are enthusiastic about the prospect of IShowSpeed joining the Icon Series, citing his substantial online presence and influence. Others have raised concerns about the timing, as Cenat’s own Icon Series skin is scheduled to release on September 12, 2025. This proximity has fueled discussions about the sequencing and selection process for Icon Series collaborations.

Epic Games has not yet officially confirmed the details of the IShowSpeed collaboration. However, the leak has intensified anticipation among the Fortnite community, with fans eagerly awaiting further announcements and updates regarding this potential addition to the Icon Series.
