A lot of people have been trolling that they don’t know Rubius after it went viral that he could be getting a skin in the popular battle royale. While North Americans may not be aware of Rubius, the Spanish-speaking YouTuber actually has 40.4 million subscribers on YouTube, where he posts travel vlogs, challenge videos, and video game content. Rubius recently shared a video that had fans speculating that he could be joining Fortnite. In the ominous clip, Rubius flicks his bedroom lights on and off, revealing the shadow of the iconic Fortnite supply llama. This doesn’t say much but definitely had his millions of fans wondering what it could mean.

It also seemed to coincide with a recent video where Rubius used a Fortnite vending machine.
