TikTok has been filled recently with screenshots of Young Sheldon being added to the Fortnite item shop, but is any of this real?
Is a Young Sheldon skin coming to Fortnite?
To directly answer the question, no, Fortnite is not including a Young Sheldon skin to the game anytime soon. After seeing many collaborations with several popular franchises in the past, Fortnite fans now love to speculate how their favorite characters would look in the game. This led to many rumors being circulated on the internet in the past with some even saying popular personalities like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, or others are going to be added to the game.
As of now, the arrival of our favorite nerd Young Sheldon to Fortnite still seems to be a hoax. If you are on TikTok, you might have seen how famous the character is on the platform. This led to people making fake skins of Sheldon just to rip out some social media engagements from the popularity of both Fortnite and the series Young Sheldon. Moreover, popular data miner and leaker iFireMonkey has also confirmed that no data about the Young Sheldon collaboration was found in the game files by any data miner.
But just because Young Sheldon is not getting a skin now, does not mean he can never have his own skin in Fortnite. Fortnite is well known for doing crossovers with popular characters, which has now become one of the main attractions of the game as well. Although Young Sheldon and video games cannot be connected in any way, fans can still hope Epic Games might add their favorite character to the game someday.
However, for now, it seems very unlikely Young Sheldon will make his appearance in Fortnite. So, if you see any kind of image or video on any social media platform, consider it to be fake. For trusted information about the upcoming skins, make sure to check Fortnite’s official social media handles and other trusted data miners and leakers.
