Epic Games owes much of its battle royaleFortnite’s success to a dedicated community of content creators who bring attention to every new Season’s mechanics and challenges for legions of fans. TheFortnite"Icon Series" has given creators such as Loserfruittime in the spotlight with in-game skins and other cosmetics, and David “TheGrefg” Canovas Martinez will apparently be the next player to receive his own skin.

Martinez announced hisFortniteskin will be revealed in a presentation on Jul 31, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. CEST via a Tweet Friday, and has since posted a number of videos to YouTube hyping up the reveal. Epic Games has yet to make any kind of announcement on its official channels, but givenFortniteIcon recipient Lachlan got a unique eventsurrounding his arrival last November, it seems likely that TheGrefg’s skin will see something similar.
WhileFortnitehas celebrated content creators who focus on the game specifically, it has also introduced content based on larger celebrities in the past. For example,Fortniteplayers have received skins based on performers such as Marshmello and Travis Scott after the two hosted in-game concerts, and the game recently introduced a newemote based on the Dua Lipa song “Don’t Start Now.”
At the same time, Epic Games has continuously introduced new content into the game through its seasons and Battle Pass system.Fortniteis currently in Chapter 2, Season 5: “Zero Point,” which has included new skins based on various popular culture characters including Din Djarin fromThe Mandalorian, Kratos fromGod of War, and Master Chief fromHalo. A recentdatamine suggestsFortnitewill soon change up the Colossal Coliseumadded to the in-game map as a part of this season.
As the game continues to expand, its player community will no doubt gravitate toward various content creators. TheFortniteIcon Series is a nice way for Epic Games to give back to these creators, and it will be interesting to see who follows up TheGrefg in receiving specialized cosmetics. In the meantime, players will still be able to receive unique skins through other means, such as the addition ofGreen Arrow through the Fortnite Crew program.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
