It’s time to take Fortnite to the streets — and to the heads and feets.
Sakar International, a provider of consumer electronics and accessories, is partnering with Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, to create a licensed line of skateboards and helmets based on the popular game. Intended to encourage fans to stay adventurous both in and out of the game, gamers can choose from ready-to-ride skateboard models, individual decks, and protective helmets in a variety of designs and styles.
“We are excited to bring gamers everywhere the opportunity to represent Fortnite even when they’re not playing,” says Sakar COO Ralph Sasson. “Fortnite has become an iconic piece of pop culture.”
The skateboards and helmets will feature fan-favorite Fortnite characters and imagery from the game, providing players another way to interact with the brand. Just like the customizable outfits in the game, people can choose their designs for new rides and accessories.
Gamers across the U.S. will begin to see the skateboards online for Black Friday, Nov. 25, and the helmets in early 2023.
