Epic Games has announced that Kim Kardashian is joining Fortnite as the latest celebrity icon. The partnership will also include various outfits from the reality TV personality’s Skims range of clothing. It’s not just cosmetic items, as there will also be a Kim Kardashian pickaxe.
Previous celebrities that have appeared in the game include Eminem, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.
The public reaction to the news has been almost unanimously negative, with YouTube user @GabePettingill summing it up succinctly saying, “Epic, this is literally the first time the community has agreed on something—we don’t want this 💀”
The Kim Kardashian skins will be available from Saturday, December 13th.
