Tyler The Creator Gets A Fortnite Skin, And The Internet Is Losing Its Mind

Read time: 2 min

After earlier leaks, Epic Games confirmed that Grammy-winning artist Tyler, the Creator will arrive in Fortnite on November 14 as a purchasable skin.

The official Fortnite X account shared a short teaser video showing two of Tyler's outfits: a green "Chromakopia" look and another outfit that nods to his "Wolf"/"Cherry Bomb" era.

Prior leaks from dataminers tipped off the collaboration earlier in the week. One prominent leaker posted assets that pointed toward a Tyler drop, and reports suggested his cosmetic set could include wraps, pickaxes, backpacks, jam tracks and emotes — with speculation the skins might be priced around 1,500 V-Bucks. Epic has not confirmed the full bundle yet, but the in-game shop date is set for November 14, so full details should become clear once the item goes live.

The community response was immediate. A Reddit post on r/FortNiteBR about the reveal filled up with excited reactions — fans calling out favorite looks and asking for Chromakopia — and replies to Fortnite’s teaser on X ranged from celebratory GIFs to heartfelt reactions.

As is typical with big crossovers, not everyone loved the design. Some users dismissed the collaboration in the Reddit thread, while others on X quipped about the expression on the skin in the teaser (one joke nicknamed it "Tyron the Architect").

Tyler’s arrival coincides with a busy period in Fortnite: the Simpsons-themed Springfield content has been running across the island, with characters such as Ned Flanders making an outsized impact. That mini-event is set to wrap up ahead of Chapter/Season 7, which is currently expected to begin in late November — leaks and community teasers have pointed to a November 29 start and hint at an LA-flavored map and big-name collaborations in the coming chapter.
