Epic Games has released many updates as Season 4 of Chapter 4 quickly approaches. Previously, the publisher has released some content related to Fishstick, which has seen the Fortnite community’s hype reach a fever pitch. Khaby Lame’s poster is the latest release associated with the upcoming Fortnite season. Similar to the great collaborations we have seen in Season 3, such as Transformers and Futurama, players will now have the chance to use Khaby Lame’s iconic looks as a skin. Here we’ll be breaking down everything there is to know about the situation.
Will Khaby Lame Be Coming to Fortnite?
Epic Games published a poster that looks like Khaby Lame on the official Fortnite Twitter account on August 23, 2023. In the teaser poster, fans can see the silhouette of Khaby Lame’s signature style, especially the hand gestures. This suggests that the upcoming season will feature something related to Khaby Lame.
The hand gesture can also be seen in his chest; the poster already has more than 2 million views. Some people suggest that the skin will accompany the battle pass, while others think it will be attached to some challenges.

Epic Games has released many posters with hidden characters for the upcoming season to tease the players. As mentioned, the Buff Fishstick image was released before Khaby Lame’s teaser on August 22, 2023, on the Fortnite Twitter account, creating similar hype.
Who is Khaby Lame?
Khabane “Khaby” Lame, a Senegalese-born Italian social media personality, is known for his viral TikTok videos where he satirizes overly complicated “life hack” videos. With his hilarious silent commentary, Lame has gained a massive following. As of April 2023, he is the most-followed user on TikTok. However, according to our research, Fortnite is Khaby Lame’s first collaboration with a game.
He was born in Senegal, and his family moved to Italy when he was only one year old. Khaby Lame started posting TikTok videos when he was laid off from the factory working as a CNC machine operator. He quickly gained massive popularity by showing his comedic talent to his followers and making simple videos.
Collaborations with many famous characters always bring excitement to Fortnite fans. However, the Khaby Lame x Fortnite collaboration is unique since we have not seen many TikTok creators in the game. Generally, when Epic Games releases a new skin, they also release various cosmetic items related to the character. Lame’s specialty is his silent commentary and hand sign, and we have to wait and see how they will show them through Fortnite customization.
