Fortnite’s Twitter account announced the news early this morning alongside a blog post with more information.

“The Icon Series kicks into full gear this summer with two of soccer’s finest — England National Team Captain Harry Kane and two-time German Player of the Year Marco Reus — joining a new squad: The Icon Series.”

Harry Kane and Marco Reus, respectively of England’s Tottenham Hotspur and Germany’s Borussia Dortmund, will appear in Fortnite’s Item Shop at 8 PM ET on June 11. Each player comes equipped with a back bling and signature emote. They’ll add themselves to an expansive list of personalities such as Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, rap artist Travis Scott and Brazilian soccer player Neymar Jr, who appeared as a Battle Pass skin in Chapter 2 – Season 6.

There really is no stopping Epic Games. They have established strong partnerships with America’s National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA) and the English Premier League (EPL) of late. Now, two individual soccer icons will etch themselves in Fortnite’s storied history of impressive collaborations. Harry Kane and Marco Reus’s Fortnite cosmetics will be available on June 11 for an undetermined amount of time.
