It was bound to happen. Ninja, arguably one of the biggest streamers out there, whose move from Twitch to Mixer sent shockwaves across the scene, is now finally playable in Fortnite. Well, as a skin.
Dreams do come true, as Ninja first revealed in his Twitter account:
I've dreamt of having a skin in Fortnite since I started playing the game. Today, my dream becomes reality. Get the Ninja Fortnite Skin in the Epic store Thursday 6 p.m. CST-Sunday 7 p.m. Don't forget to use code NINJA! #NinjaSkin #EpicPartner pic.twitter.com/xTn9UlbkGI

As you can imagine, his reaction was insane and it was genuinely fun to see him freak out upon seeing his very own Fortnite skin in the game. Pretty sure anyone would have reacted the same way!
Part of the “Icon Series”, as Epic would put it, you’ll need to visit the shop to gain access to the set, which includes the Ninja Outfit, Ninja’s Edge Back Bling, Ninja Style Emote and Dual Katanas Pickaxe. No price has been announced yet but you can already see it in action below:
Ninja would be the first of many, it seems. Epic has more in plan for “future Icon Series collaborations, including Loserfruit, TheGrefg and more creators from games, music and entertainment.”
