The online gaming world is abuzz with speculation regarding a potential crossover between the wildly popular battle royale game Fortnite and the bizarrely captivating YouTube series, Skibidi Toilet. This speculation stems from leaks originating from unofficial Fortnite news sources. These leaks claim that a themed bundle featuring in-game cosmetics inspired by Skibidi Toilet will soon be available for purchase within the game’s item shop.

Specifically, the leaked information details the inclusion of a “Plungerman” skin, a corresponding “Skibidi Toilet” back bling (a cosmetic item that attaches to the player’s back), and a “Plungerman’s Plunger” pickaxe (a harvesting tool used in the game). The purported price for this complete bundle is 2,200 V-bucks, Fortnite’s in-game currency. The rumored release date is Wednesday, December 18th, 2024, at 8 PM ET.

The source of this information remains unofficial, and Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite, have yet to offer any official comment or confirmation. However, the sheer volume of online discussion surrounding the leak suggests a significant level of anticipation within the Fortnite community.

The potential collaboration is intriguing considering the stark contrast between the established, mainstream appeal of Fortnite and the surreal, meme-driven nature of Skibidi Toilet. Skibidi Toilet, created by DaFuqBoom and animated by Alexey Gerasimov, is a YouTube series that has amassed a substantial following since its launch in 2023, boasting over 44.7 million subscribers. The series’ bizarre premise—a conflict between singing toilet heads and a mechanical army with cameras for heads—has spawned countless memes and trends across various social media platforms, particularly TikTok.

The success of previous Fortnite collaborations with diverse brands and franchises, ranging from Marvel and DC Comics to musicians like Snoop Dogg, suggests that the game’s developers are open to incorporating a wide range of pop culture phenomena. The potential inclusion of Skibidi Toilet, therefore, aligns with this trend of leveraging popular culture to enhance player engagement and excitement. The coming days will likely bring further clarity as to whether these leaks hold any truth, and whether the Skibidi Toilet bundle will indeed grace the Fortnite item shop.
