Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8: Details regarding the Playboi Carti skin
The recent rumor regarding the Playboi Carti skin kicked off with one of Fortnite's recent collaboration events. Spanish luxury fashion house Balenciaga recently engaged in a partnership with Fortnite.
The designer brand has released several outfits that will be featured in the game. Apart from many in-game cosmetics, the Spanish fashion house has also rolled out several real life outfits as well.
The in-game outfits that were released by Balenciaga created a huge uproar amongst the Fortnite community. The outfit featured the word "eXtr3me" written across it.
It may seem that there is no connection whatsoever between the outfit and Playboi Carti. However, uncovering the entire story will throw light upon the issue.
Apparently, one of the latest Instagram posts from the rapper featured him wearing a black outfit with the words "eXtr3me" written similar to what was featured in the latest collaboration between Fortnite and Balenciaga.
The uncanny resemblance between the two outfits has caused huge speculation regarding the arrival of the Playboi Carti Fortnite skin.
The craze regarding a potential Playboi Carti skin isn't unjustified. Popular rapper Travis Scott was added as a Fortnite skin and it went on to become a huge hit. Similarly, gamers were hoping for another Fortnite skin belonging to one of the most popular artists in the music industry.
This is the first time Fortnite has collaborated with a major fashion name. However, for Balenciaga, this is not the very first instance where the brand has been involved with the gaming community.
Back in 2021, the popular luxury fashion brand released their very own bespoke video game Afterworld. The game was built with Unreal Engine and it debuted their Fall 2021 collection.
