Underground rap icon EsDeeKid has arrived in Fortnite with an official skin and three of his tracks added to Festival.

EsDeeKid is the latest musician to get an official Fortnite collaboration and for the next week, players can purchase a number of limited-edition items from the in-game shop. “Channel The Dark Error himself with the EsDeeKid Outfit, which has multiple style options and reactive effects, show off with accessories including the ‘Grimhaul Bag’ backbling and ‘Cerberus’ sidekick, which has a reactive style and play with fire with the ‘Scouse Stepper’ emote,” reads a press release.

All of those items are available as part of the complete EsDeeKid bundle, which is available to purchase for 3400 V-Bucks. It also comes with the ‘Mace Der’ microphone, the ‘Medievil Metal’ wrap, a ‘New Royalty’ loading screen and new Jam track ‘4 Raws’. 

Two more EsDeeKid tracks have also been added to Fortnite Festival – ‘Rottweiler’ and ‘Century’. Fortnite players have until May 25 to purchase the EsDeeKid collection.

After the collaboration went live on Saturday (May 15), EsDeeKid took to social media to explain how he had been “trying to get a win” in the online battle royale game but was “actually too shit at Fortnite”.

“Not sure who this is but the skins look cool,” wrote one Instagram user, with others stepping in to teach them about the cult rap sensation. “Everyone asking who he is must live under a rock,” wrote another.

Last month, Laufey was announced as the headliner of Fortnite Festival season 14, with the event being extended by two weeks due to demand. Season 15 of Fortnite Festival is now expected to kick off July 29.

“It’s a collaboration you might not expect from me,” Laufey told NME before the event went live. “When I started out, I was known as this jazz girl and people assumed I was timid and soft.  Running around with a gun [in Fortnite] is absolutely the best way to show that there are so many more layers to me.”

“Fortnite is just so fantastical,” she continued. “It’s something that you’d never see in real life but if you closed your eyes while listening to my music, it’s the world you might dream up. It’s uber romantic and very expressionist, in a way. I want to encourage my fans to be the biggest version of themselves. Inside a video game, you’re free to be the most [authentic] version of yourself and not feel like you’re being judged.”
