Today, Fortnite is announcing an exciting collaboration with Quarterback, record-breaker and NFL and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, the first NFL Player to join the Fortnite Icon Series, a celebration of the most dynamic figures in culture for Fortnite’s audience of millions.
“Getting to be a part of a game that I have played for so long is a dream come true. We incorporated my signature style from head to toe, had some fun with my love for ketchup and you know I had to flex on them with the bionic arm,” said Patrick Mahomes. “It was awesome to be involved every step of the way on the creative and design of my Outfit. The creative team at Epic Games crushed our vision – watching a side by side of my Emote and my actual signature celebration is pretty wild to see. Can’t wait for fans to see it.”
