YouTuber Rubius teases potential Fortnite Icon Skin collab

It’s possible that YouTube star Rubén ‘El Rubius’ Doblas Gundersen from Norway-Spain could be the next character added to the Fortnite Icon Series. This speculation arises after a mysterious video he shared on X. El Rubius, who is 34 years old and boasts over 40 million YouTube subscribers, has been creating more Fortnite content than usual lately. Some leakers suggest that Epic Games and El Rubius have teamed up to create a special Fortnite character based on him. However, these reports are yet to be officially confirmed. Here’s what we know so far about this potential collaboration.

Is El Rubius getting a Fortnite skin?

While it’s still uncertain if El Rubius will receive a Fortnite character skin, the rumors suggest that there might be a collaboration in the works, as he announced some challenges with Fortnite. However, when his chat asked about a possible skin, he chose not to comment on the matter.

As the story unfolds, it’s crucial to keep an eye on Fortnite’s social media activity. If the game shares El Rubius’s content or uses his catchphrases, this would be a strong indication that something is happening. Fortnite has used a similar approach in the lead-up to Nick “NickEh30” Amyoony’s recent Icon Series partnership.

In the video we previously discussed, YouTuber El Rubius is shown turning his bedroom light on and off. Upon careful examination, it seems that a spooky Supply Llama appears and vanishes with each toggle of the switch. While this information alone isn’t extensive, when combined with El Rubius’s latest Fortnite vending machine video, as well as rumors from trusted sources about a possible upcoming skin, the evidence becomes quite intriguing.

Who is El Rubius?

Rubius is a well-known creator of both Norwegian and Spanish origin, recognized for his gaming and humor-filled content on YouTube. His YouTube journey began on December 19, 2011, resulting in an impressive subscriber base of over 40 million and more than 7 billion views. On Twitch, he holds the fourth most-followed channel. Although he doesn’t frequently create Fortnite content, some of his videos related to it have attracted over 20 million views each.

In 2019, the creator held a contest where the individual who finished the quickest speedrun on their Fortnite creative map stood to win £3M. Given all the excitement surrounding his latest Fortnite projects, there’s speculation that Rubius might soon receive an in-game character skin. But, as always, only time will reveal the truth.
