Fortnite Welcomes Lewis Hamilton and Roscoe, His Canine Companion, to the Icon Series

By DaMarko Webster

Fortnite has unveiled its latest addition to the coveted “Icon Series,” a collection that typically features prominent figures such as athletes, actors, musicians, content creators, and various celebrities. The newest inclusion is none other than the renowned Formula 1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, presented for a limited time as either a standalone skin or part of a bundle package.

Noteworthy is the absence of any Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team branding on the skins. Instead, they exude Hamilton’s distinctive style. One of the two skins showcases the iconic driver in a black or charcoal grey pants and jacket ensemble adorned with vibrant yellow and pink motifs resembling lightning. This skin is accessorized with a beaded necklace, sunglasses, a single earring, a ring, and a watch, showcasing Hamilton’s tattoos.

The second skin, part of the bundle pack, draws inspiration from F1 aesthetics, featuring a sleek armored black look with purple and yellow accents covering the entire body from head to toe. Reminiscent of Black Panther’s armor, this design includes small ears atop a full-coverage helmet.

A notable debut in this release is Hamilton’s bulldog, Roscoe, featured in two out of the five items in the bundle. Alongside Roscoe on a jet-powered surfboard or skyboard, there is an energy-powered sword. The complete pack comprises two skins, back bling, glider, and pickaxe, available for 2,400 V Bucks. Alternatively, the singular skin can be purchased for 2,000 V Bucks. All these items are currently accessible in the game.
