Fortnite continues to collaborate with popular musicians and artists, with a new crossover with ESDEEKID expected to arrive very soon. Prominent Fortnite data miner and leaker ShiinaBR has confirmed on X that an ESDEEKID skin collaboration is expected to drop in the near future.ShiinaBR’s post essentially stated, “ESDEEKID SKIN COLLAB EXPECTED SOON – Fortnite & Fortnite Festival just retweeted his latest post, so he should be a mid-season collab.” Accordingly, the retweet by both the main Fortnite account and the Fortnite Festival account is a strong indicator that the collaboration is imminent and will cover both the Battle Royale and Festival sides of the experience.The section below takes a further look at the Fortnite x ESDEEKID collaboration.
Fortnite x ESDEEKID collaboration leaked
Fortnite x ESDEEKID collaboration has been leaked, but a specific release date has not yet been officially confirmed by Epic Games at the time of writing. However, based on ShiinaBR’s assessment that the skin is a mid-season collab, the crossover could take place very soon.The Fortnite v40.40 update is confirmed to release on May 14, 2026, and the ESDEEKID collaboration will land in the Item Shop after the upcoming patch. Also, since Chapter 7 Season 2 is going to end on June 5, 2026, the collaboration would need to drop before that date. This makes the potential release window for the crossover between May 14 and June 5.
What skins could be included in the Fortnite x ESDEEKID collaboration?
At the moment, there are no details about the ESDEEKID cosmetic lineup officially revealed. Nevertheless, based on how previous Fortnite Festival Icon Series collaborations have been, you can expect at least one Icon Series outfit, an emote, a back bling, and multiple Jam Tracks from the artist’s catalogue. A dedicated bundle offering the full package at a discounted V-Bucks price is also standard for Icon Series drops of this nature. However, you must keep in mind that Epic Games has yet to confirm the collaboration officially. This is why everything must be taken with a pinch of salt.
Who is ESDEEKID?
ESDEEKID, also referred to as SDK, is a rising music artist who has been building significant momentum across social media and streaming platforms. He has managed to build a massive fanbase over the period of the past few years, making him a natural fit for Fortnite Festival’s Icon Series. The fact that the Fortnite accounts retweeted his post strongly suggests his collaboration will not be limited to a simple skin drop. A dedicated Festival Season Pass featuring his music tracks is likely part of the package. It will likely follow the same structure used for previous Festival Icon artists like Laufey.
