Some sort of collaboration between EDM DJ Marshmello and Fortnite<\/em> is coming in February, the musician\u2019s manager Moe Shalizi said in a story on his Instagram yesterday. \u201cSomething is coming with Mello and Fortnite <\/em>next month that\u2019s gonna have the world shook,\u201d Shalizi wrote. He refrained from specifying what the partnership will bring.<\/p>

A Marshmello and Epic Games collaboration could either be Fortnite<\/em> being included in Marshmello\u2019s performances somehow or the musician being represented in the game with a cosmetic skin set or an event.
<\/p>
It could also be a collaboration that will create something new instead of each party letting the other blend into their works. Epic, for instance, already conducted Fortnite<\/em> Celebrity Pro-Am tournaments in which famous artists paired up with top players to compete in duos tournaments. Mello even won the E3 2018 edition<\/a> with Tyler \u201cNinja\u201d Blevins in June, so a similar event featuring the musician is possible.

Marshmello is famous worldwide. His Spotify stats<\/a> show he was streamed over two billion times for about 113 million hours across 65 countries in 2018. He has about 1.37 million followers on Twitter and has been a familiar face to Fortnite<\/em> fans since he won E3 with Ninja.
<\/p>
Even though people might be expecting a Marshmello skin in Fortnite<\/em>, it\u2019s unlikely at this point. Not even top players like Ninja and Turner \u201cTfue\u201d Tenney have one, and when people thought the Summit Striker set was added to Fortnite<\/em> after streamer Jaryd “summit1g” Lazar<\/a>, there were several complaints by other content creators.
