The reference to Scott in the Fortnite game files specifically suggests that a cosmetic set inspired by the rapper is coming to the game at some point down the road. Very likely, this means that at least a Travis Scott skin will eventually be available in Fortnite, but it is also possible that there is a much bigger collaboration in the works. Exactly what this collaboration could be is currently unknown, but Epic Games does have a history of working with musicians to create special Fornite events.

Last February, for instance, electronic music producer Marshmello performed a live concert in-game, and perhaps there is something similar planned with Scott. Certainly, the Marshmello Fortnite event was a huge moment for the game, breaking concurrent player count records, and a concert from Scott has the potential to be even bigger. Notably, Marshmello’s collaboration also brought a new skin to Fortnite, giving some credence to the theory that there is more than a simple Travis Scott cosmetic planned.
That said, it is certainly possible that a new Fortnite skin is all that Epic Games and Scott are currently working on together. While that would not be quite as exciting as a full-blown, in-game concert, some fans would still be happy to pickup such a cosmetic, and it seems likely that they will be able to do so in the not-so-distant future.
With respect to other things that have been discovered in the updated game files, references to a brand new Fortnite emote type were unearthed just days ago. As with the potential collaboration with Scott, there are not a ton of definitively confirmed details available about these new emotes, though players will likely get access to them before Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 comes to an end.
Fortnite is out now for iOS, Android, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
