Kai told viewers that the next time he goes live on Twitch it will mark the start of Mafiathon 3.
It is clear that Fortnite will play a major part of Mafiathon 3 with the reveal taking place during his Fortnite skin reveal. As one of the most popular subathon streaming events in history, Mafiathon 3 is poised to compete for livestreaming viewership records, and Fortnite is ready to capitalize on that.
Mafiathon 2 generated an estimated $3.6 million in revenue from Twitch subscriptions alone. Sponsorships, promotions and ad revenue likely bumped the real earnings over $20 million.
Mafiathon 3 could shatter these numbers especially when adding in major gaming collaborations like Fortnite.
The Kai Cenat x Fortnite collaboration may be one of the most culturally significant bundles Fortnite has released. Due to this, fans of Kai will flock to Fortnite just to support him with the purchase of his skin.
The extra influx of people into Fortnite is only going to help Fortnite's growing esports climate that is picking up just weeks before the Global Championships. Could Kai Cenat play a role in the FNCS Global Championships by making an appearance or a cameo?
