As mentioned, the skin will be in the Fortnite Item Shop on September 12, 2025. Based on previous patterns, it will most likely feature a complete Bundle that includes the Outfit, Emote, Pickaxe, and possibly more items.

Why are some fans upset about the Kai Cenat skin?

Despite the hype, many players appear displeased with the announcement by Epic Games. This is due to the streamer recently being at the center of multiple controversies.

One of the incidents involved a planned Clash Royale collaboration stream with another popular streamer, Jynxzi. During a live call, Kai ignored Jynxzi and left to start an IRL livestream right before the promised Clash Royale event. The latter ended his stream abruptly and appeared disappointed. Although Kai Cenat later apologized publicly, fans were still upset.

Another point of criticism came during MrBeast’s #TeamWater charity, where various big streamers such as xQc, Adin Ross, and Trainwrecks donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, Kai did not make a contribution. The final nail in the coffin was when fans pointed out how he had not provided any updates regarding the school he was planning to build in Nigeria for months.

All these controversies have created a divide within the community, and many fans do not seem happy with this skin announcement.
