NFL QB Patrick Mahomes pops up alongside a new tournament in Fortnite this week
Epic Games has worked with a few athletes in the past, including WWE Superstar John Cena and all-time NBA legend LeBron James. Now, Super Bowl LIV champion and four-time Pro Bowler Patrick Mahomes will join the game’s playable character roster on August 24, Epic Games announced today.

In a blog post, Epic explained that in addition to the default Mahomes style, the Kansas City QB would also receive two alternate styles: the Gladiator Mindset style and the Gameday Gladiator style, both of which will be included in the base Mahomes skin. Additionally, another Mahomes skin will be available separately in the item shop – the Mahomes Saucy style, in which the QB wears a suit adorned with ketchup bottles, a nod to the athlete’s love of ketchup.
The Patrick Mahomes skin will appear in the item shop Aug. 24 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET, but Epic detailed how players can get their hands on it early. The company announced a new tournament – the Patrick Mahomes Cup – to be held on August 23. Those who participate have a chance to unlock Mahomes a day early and earn the Secret Sauce emoticon.
As we near the end of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, Epic has hit the cross-brand collaboration pretty hard. At the time of writing a massive one Dragon Ball great A collaboration takes place in-game, which includes four new skins modeled after iconic characters like Goku, a healthy dose of cosmetics, and some Power Unleashed quests.
