Overview
- Beckham announced on Instagram on Tuesday that he is “working on” a Fortnite character and said it will be available very soon.
- The teaser shared by Beckham and accompanying concept art confirm two distinct skins: a football kit bearing his No. 7 and a suit inspired by his Inter Miami role with a sunglasses style.
- Multiple outlets and leakers say the cosmetics could be added with Fortnite’s next patch and may reach the in‑game Item Shop around July 18, but Epic Games has not confirmed any release date.
- Reporters expect the crossover to include ancillary items such as pickaxes, back blings, and emotes that reference Beckham’s football career, though those extras remain unverified.
- The move continues Fortnite’s Icon Series strategy of licensing celebrity avatars and gives Beckham a high‑visibility marketing moment tied to the World Cup that could drive player interest and sales.
