Kim Kardashian Drops Into Fortnite: Release Date and How to Unlock the Skin
Fortnite is leveling up its celebrity roster: Kim Kardashian is dropping into the island as the next Icon Series skin, bringing reality TV royalty and mega-brand power to Epic’s crossover juggernaut.
Fortnite just went full tabloid. Kim Kardashian is the next Icon Series skin, and yes, Epic is leaning all the way into the fashion/perfume/private-jet energy. Whether you love it or love to roll your eyes at it, it is undeniably a swing.
When she lands in the shop
Kim hits Fortnite on Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 7 p.m. ET. Epic teased it on December 10 with a cinematic that runs through big Kim moments before revealing the in-game looks. The collab is officially tied to her SKIMS brand, which explains the wardrobe focus and the sheer number of variants.
What the set includes
There are three main outfits, one styled directly after SKIMS, plus more than eight alternate looks. Expect different bodysuit colors, multiple hairstyles, and accessories like sunglasses. The rest of the kit goes hard on the references: a private jet glider, a purse-as-a-pickaxe, and an emote that nods to the Paper Magazine pose that tried to, well, break the internet.
Want it early? There is a tournament
'Compete in the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup on December 12 and get the outfit early!'
Epic is running the Kim Kardashian Icon Cup on December 12 for competitive players. They have not posted performance requirements yet, but historically, top placements snag early access before the items hit the shop.
How to unlock it (and what it will probably cost)
Once the collab goes live on December 13, you will grab everything through the Item Shop. Epic has not announced official pricing, but early leaks suggest the lineup below. As usual, Epic tends to bundle Icon Series sets at a discount, but we will not know the exact bundle price until the shop refreshes. Also worth noting: several of these act as base skins with extra styles you unlock after purchase.
- Kim Kardashian (Fur Coat) skin: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Kim Kardashian (SKIMS Suit) skin: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Kim Kardashian (Leather Suit) skin: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Kardashian Purse Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
- 'Break the Internet' emote (Paper Magazine pose): 500 V-Bucks
- Makeup Backpack Back Bling: 400 V-Bucks
- Ring Light + Phone Back Bling: 400 V-Bucks
- Private Jet Glider: 1,200 V-Bucks
The vibe check
Predictably, feeds are already flooded with jokes, memes, and some very loud enthusiasm. I would not call this subtle, but subtle is not the point. Epic knows exactly how to vacuum up attention with these crossovers, and this one might be the most headline-ready yet.
Picking up the skin, or sitting this one out? I am curious where you land on this particular fashion show.
