The reveal came through a cinematic trailer that introduced Kim Kardashian with a narrated overview of her life, closing with the line, “And now, she’s taking on Fortnite.” From there, fans were shown her in-game Outfit, a range of accessories, and confirmation that this collaboration ties directly into her SKIMS clothing brand.

The crossover continues Fortnite’s ongoing trend of mixing pop culture with gameplay, especially in Chapter 7, Season 1, which has already added Playboi Carti, CouRage, and even Danny Phantom.

First Look at the Kim Kardashian Skins and Cosmetics

Before Epic Games posted the announcement, leakers including HYPEX and ShiinaBR shared early images of Kim’s upcoming Outfits. Moments later, Epic officially confirmed the collaboration across its social channels.

The collection includes three main Kim Kardashian skins, each with a distinct style:

• A black SKIMS bodysuit
• A white ensemble with a fur coat
• A sleek leather suit

Across these, players can swap through more than eight alternate outfit styles, including different hairstyles, bodysuit colours, and an option to add sunglasses. The range of variants is extensive, giving players plenty of freedom to customise their take on Kim.

Epic’s promotional images highlight both glamour and flexibility, reflecting the fashion-focused nature of the collaboration.

Every Cosmetic Item in the Kim Kardashian Fortnite Set

The full Icon Series bundle brings a wide selection of themed accessories. These include:

• A private jet Glider
• A smartphone and ring light Back Bling
• A makeup backpack Back Bling
• A purse Pickaxe
• A “Break the Internet” Emote inspired by Kim’s 2014 Paper Magazine photoshoot

The emote recreates her famous pose, though Fortnite swaps champagne for a Chug Jug to fit its style and rating. It’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about emotes of the season.

This all places Kim alongside other high-profile Icon Series stars such as Eminem, Travis Scott, Doja Cat, and Playboi Carti.

Release Date and Expected Pricing

Epic Games has confirmed that the Kim Kardashian set will land in the Item Shop on Saturday, December 13 at 7 p.m. ET. Players can buy items individually or purchase the full bundle for easier access to every skin and accessory.

While the official prices have not been published, early reports suggest the following:

• Kim Kardashian (Fur Coat): 1,500 V-Bucks
• Kim Kardashian (SKIMS Suit): 1,500 V-Bucks
• Kim Kardashian (Leather Suit): 1,500 V-Bucks
• Purse Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks

• Makeup Backpack Back Bling: 400 V-Bucks

Community Reaction: Shock, Memes, and Mixed Opinions

As with any unexpected Fortnite crossover, fan reactions came in fast and loud. Some players embraced the reveal, calling the skin set stylish and predicting it will become a competitive favourite. Others responded with memes or described the collab as one of Fortnite’s strangest yet.
