Fact Check: Fortnite Did NOT Collaborate On A 'Charlie Kirk Bundle' To Honor Kirk With A Game Character Satire Post

Did Fortnite collaborate to honor the Turning Point USA founder with a "Charlie Kirk Bundle"? No, that's not true: There is no evidence on Fortnite's website of any collaboration involving Kirk and no such announcement can be found on a credible website. The claim that a Charlie Kirk Fortnite character has been created for the game appears to be an effort at satire.

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on the @women_leaks account on X on October 27, 2025. The post included an image of the purported character with a caption that read:

Fortnite has collaborated with Charlie Kirk to honor his death.

This is what the post looked like at the time of writing:

Another version (archived here) of the claim included this image:

A Fortnite Charlie Kirk collaboration is not included on the Fandom wiki page (archived here) for Fortnite collaborations.

A search (archived here) of Fortnite's website for "Charlie Kirk" also revealed no such character or collaboration.

Epic Games, the parent company of Fortnite, did not immediately reply to Lead Stories' emailed questions about the claim.

The post may be an attempt at satire based on the September 10, 2025, assassination of the Turning Point USA founder.
