Get ready for a massive Fortnite update! The game is about to introduce a groundbreaking new feature that will change the way you play: Companions. And the first companion arrives in style, alongside the official reveal of the Kai Cenat Icon Series skin.
The popular Twitch streamer, Kai Cenat, is the latest creator to be immortalized in Fortnite’s Icon Series. The official announcement was made in a spectacular reveal on the Las Vegas Sphere, confirming a September 12, 2025 release date. But the big surprise is the introduction of a brand-new cosmetic type: pet companions.
What Are Companions in Fortnite?
Companions are a new type of cosmetic in Fortnite. These are interactive pets that will follow you around in the game. While previously, pets were available as back bling, this new feature gives them more presence and interactivity. Leaks suggest that you’ll be able to interact with your companions, and they will have their own unique animations and personalities. Your party members will be able to see and interact with your companions, but they will not be visible to enemies.
How to Get the Kai Cenat Skin and Companion
The Kai Cenat Icon Series bundle will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop on September 12, 2025. The bundle will include the Kai Cenat outfit, an AMP pickaxe, a special emote, and the very first companion pet: Kai Cenat’s hamster. While the official price hasn’t been announced, it’s expected to be in line with previous Icon Series bundles.
