Epic Games Welcomes David Beckham to the 'Fortnite' Icon Series With Signature Outfits

Summary

Epic Games has officially announced that football icon Sir David Beckham is joining the 'Fortnite' Icon Series

The upcoming virtual drop includes multiple customizable character outfits alongside specialized in-game gear and pickaxes

A unique shirtless outfit option features reactive gold tattoos that glow brighter with every player elimination

Epic Games is officially bringing legendary English football star Sir David Beckham into the metaverse with the debut of the Fortnite Sir David Beckham Icon Series Collection. The highly anticipated collaboration brings the iconic athlete’s historic career and signature style to the hit battle royale title as a fully playable character.

The digital collection showcases an array of specialized cosmetics modeled directly after Beckham’s famous looks on and off the pitch. Players can equip the sleek “Club Owner” outfit style, which features a sharp black suit accented with an official club crest, or opt for a traditional football kit sporting his classic number seven jersey. For an elevated visual option, the collection includes an additional style where the character is shirtless, exposing intricate gold body tattoos that cover his torso, arms, hands, and neck. These tattoos are fully reactive, dynamically glowing brighter with each elimination secured during a match.

Beyond the skins, the capsule incorporates a curated range of custom tools and movements. Fans can activate the unique “Shot Emote,” which replicates the football legend’s world-renowned “Bend it like Beckham” free-kick technique. The release is fully rounded out by two exclusive harvesting tools: the technical Meteor Baller Pickaxe, designed to deliver the perfect strike, and the sleek Number Seven Scythe Pickaxe.

The Fortnite Sir David Beckham Icon Series Collection drops on July 18 via in-game Fortnite Item Shop.
