Fortnite gamers, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready for the parties as the island is going to be a lot more colorful. The IShowSpeed Fortnite skin will be officially showcased no more than 11 hours after the announcement. You have read it correctly. The most hysterical internet figure, Speed, is going to be the Battle Royale’s official made part. This news came from a reliable leaker, and the community reaction has been… actually, it has been an entire internet chaos as you would expect.
So what is the excitement about? Just in case you do not know—no disrespect—IShowSpeed is one of the most entertaining, reckless, and wildest online streamers in the world at the moment. His fame transitioned through the alleged Fortnite clips, and one of them has become one of the most discussed topics in the comments section and the users even claimed, “Mainly it was his one of first rise of popularity outside IRL streams.” So this collaboration? It’s really understanding. It’s like Fortnite via this character is sharing a wild part of its history back to the audience.
The buzz in the comments is real and also very nicely mixed, just as Speed. Some players have gone overboard and are just shouting. “OH MY I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW THE SKIN WILL LOOK,” was one of the comments. Another one just replied, “11 HOURS?? The Internet is going to break for real 😭🔥.” The thrill is almost physical, isn’t it? It is the kind of thing that makes you look at your watch involuntarily.
However, not every one of us is on the same page—and this is what makes it fun. The comments are not only full of love. One user going by the name of ‘a ᥫ᭡.’ started a little argument saying “as a group, we don’t want this,” and then the ultimate “not a single person cares.” It sparked an absence of an argument, with someone quizzing “whos ‘we’?” as a response. The downside of having a celebrity like Speed is that he is divisive. You either welcome the storm of emotions or you find it extremely exhausting. The community of Fortnite is showing both sides, and that is why it is really the most interesting thing to happen.
There were also some practical queries from gamers wanting the best way to spend their V-Bucks. One person asked, “Will it be available for purchase an hour after?” the reveal. A user was kind enough to respond, “It will be in the next shop.” Thus, for those who are ready to catch it, you might not have to wait longer after the premiere to actually purchase it. Get your cards ready.
Besides, a scent of comments has been present circulating the thread making it scrolling a delight. Someone took the announcement as an opportunity to ask “When is Metal Gear wave 2?” Another just shared a funny pic with the caption “I made it mom.” This weird and delightful combination of hype, humor, and random requests is what makes gaming Twitter a beautiful disaster.
What shall we think about Fortnite? One more unbelievable crossover with a celebrity creator but this one is different. Not just a singer or a movie star; it’s a guy who got famous playing the game. One comment said,…
“Finally, a fresh Icon that’s not some 30-year-old relic!”
This suggests that Epic Games has plugged itself directly into the lively streaming culture, and is bringing in a very online and very now character out of the mix. They are taking a chance by keeping the game fresh and also being able to reach the player base.
The revelation will certainly be a grand event. If Speed’s usual content is anything to go by, it will not be a quiet, artistic trailer. Get ready for maximum noise, maybe some shouting, but naturally, a lot of excitement. It is the most suitable event to break the monotony of the routine game update process. Even if you are not a fan of his, you have to admit that it is a major event. It spreads the news all over the world, invites conversations, and most importantly, prompts people to log in.
So, we will all be seeing a digital IShowSpeed in just a few hours harvesting with a tool. Is there going to be a built-in emote of him screaming? Probably. Are the sales going to skyrocket? No doubt about it. The mix of exhilaration and gigantic meme potential is off the charts. The island of Fortnite has seen it all when it comes to crazy crossovers, be it Godzilla or Ariana Grande. But bringing in a quirky power like Speed? It is a very bright-colored, confusing, and playful scenario. The clock is ticking, and the internet is never ready for what comes next. But we will be watching anyways.
