Darren Jason Watkins Jr., aka IShowSpeed, is arguably one of the most popular faces on the internet. His eccentric videos, live streams, and tours are always the centre of attention for the internet, and one of the games he plays the most is Fortnite, suggesting that Speed’s arrival in the game is highly likely.
According to the latest community buzz, the IShowSpeed Fortnite skin is coming to the game on December 24th, right in time for Christmas. Fortnite has a history of collaborating with top content creators, such as Ninja and MrBeast, who have all donned a skin in the game as part of the Icon Series, making Speed’s arrival a highly likely event.
Speed is a fervent Fortnite player, and in fact, his first live stream was of him playing Fortnite. All of this combined has increased his popularity among Fortnite players, even if he wasn’t already for his work as a creator.
Is Speed coming to Fortnite?
The rumours of Speed coming to Fortnite were fuelled by none other than Speed himself when a fan questioned him about a stream scheduled on Christmas Eve. Speed replied by saying, “Go back to my first stream ever,” which fans worldwide took as a suggestion that a skin is on the way.
If Speed comes to Fortnite, it won’t be just in the form of a skin, and it’s fair to assume that he, too, will come with a bundle housing other cosmetics like gliders and pickaxes, along with a skin or two. Given his popularity, we wouldn’t be too surprised to see this bundle become one of the most popular bundles ever released in the game.
Speed may be teasing something else completely, but that has not stopped fans from raising their expectations. Neither Epic nor Speed has completely explained what exactly they are cooking, as waiting until the 24th remains our only option.
