ORIGINAL STORY:

IShowSpeed is officially getting his own Icon Series skin in Fortnite, with Epic Games confirming the collaboration will launch on December 24, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET during the regular Item Shop reset.

The announcement comes after months of speculation within the gaming community, finally putting an end to the endless rumors surrounding the popular streamer's arrival in the battle royale. Epic Games made things official on December 23, 2025, when the Fortnite account posted a picture of IShowSpeed alongside the game's iconic Loot Llama with a simple caption that read "tomorrow." Speed himself wasted no time confirming the news by scheduling a special reveal livestream.

For those eager to catch the first glimpse of what's coming, IShowSpeed has planned a livestream reveal set for 6:00 PM ET on December 24, 2025, giving viewers an exclusive look at his cosmetics a full hour before they drop in the Item Shop.

The skin will be available across all regions following the standard Item Shop rotation, which means players in different time zones can expect to see it at:

• Pacific Time: 3:00 PM PST

• Eastern Time: 6:00 PM EST

• UK: 11:00 PM GMT

• Central Europe: 12:00 AM CET (December 25)

• India: 4:30 AM IST (December 25)

• Japan: 8:00 AM JST (December 25)

• Australia: 10:00 AM AEDT (December 25)

According to leaks from prominent Fortnite dataminers including HypeX, ShiinaBR, FireMonkey, and others, the IShowSpeed bundle is shaping up to be pretty substantial. While these details haven't been officially verified by Epic Games, the leakers have a solid track record when it comes to early reveals. The bundle is expected to include two different outfits, potentially featuring his signature red-and-black aesthetic along with a more energetic variant that some fans think could reference his "Speed Does America" tour.

Beyond the skins themselves, the leaked information suggests players can look forward to two back blings, two pickaxes, a glider, a weapon wrap, and even a Jam Track for Fortnite Festival. That last item is particularly interesting since it could feature IShowSpeed's voice or music tied to his content.

What's raising eyebrows among the community is the apparent absence of emotes in the initial bundle. Given IShowSpeed's reputation for viral moments—whether it's his famous barking, backflip attempts, or celebrations inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo—many expected Epic to capitalize on those iconic gestures. Some fans are speculating that emotes might be added later as separate releases or in future updates.

Pricing details remain unconfirmed, though based on previous Icon Series releases like Kai Cenat's bundle, individual skins will likely fall somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 V-Bucks each. The complete bundle could run players around 3,000 to 3,500 V-Bucks if it follows the standard pricing model Epic has used for similar collaborations.

This collaboration marks another major addition to Fortnite's Icon Series, which has become home to some of gaming and streaming's biggest names, including Ninja, MrBeast, and Kai Cenat. With IShowSpeed's massive following and energetic personality, this skin drop is shaping up to be one of the more anticipated releases of the season.
