NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes is officially coming to Fortnite as part of the popular free-to-play battle royale video game’s Icon Series. Notably, while Mahomes is the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, it would appear that all of the cosmetics involved with the Icon Series for him will completely avoid any of the NFL team’s imagery.

More specifically, the Patrick Mahomes Outfit and other cosmetics are set to be available in Fortnite‘s Item Shop starting later this week on Wednesday, August 24th, at 8PM ET/5PM PT. Players will also be able to compete in a special Patrick Mahomes Cup on August 23rd in order to potentially earn the Outfit early alongside a special Emoticon.

As noted above, Patrick Mahomes-themed cosmetics are set to join Fortnite on August 24th at 8PM ET/5PM PT. Additionally, and as is common in the popular free-to-play video game, there will be a Patrick Mahomes Cup on August 23rd where players can earn the Patrick Mahomes Outfit early. Fortnite itself is, more generally, currently in the midst of Chapter 3 Season 3: Vibin’, and is available on most major platforms in its latest form save for the iOS version — though there is a way to get around this with Xbox Cloud Gaming.
