Fortnite has revealed the next ICON series skin that will be released in the game, and it is none other than the popular Spanish content creator El Rubius. The Fortnite ICON skin was revealed as part of his special stream today, where players also got a chance to claim some free and exclusive in-game rewards via Twitch drops.
Fortnite is always surprising its fans with new collaborations and skins, and the new season is no exception. The latest Marvel collab featured a plethora of these cosmetics of fan-favorite characters, with the most recent release being the Black Cat skin in Fortnite. Now, yet another skin seems to be making its way to the game.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for the next ICON series skin in Fortnite, and it has been confirmed that El Rubius will be getting his own skin in the game. El Rubius is one of the biggest content creators in the world with over 40 million subscribers on YouTube and 15 million followers on Twitch, and he revealed the skin as part of a live stream via his Twitch channel.
Fortnite Fans Think El Rubius' ICON Series Is One Of The Most Adorable Sets in The Game
Players also got a chance to get an exclusive Fortnite emoticon for watching the stream via Twitch drops for free. Fans have been calling the emoticon quite adorable, but it seems like it was extremely limited in numbers since a lot of players were unable to get it despite watching the stream. El Rubius' ICON skin is comprised of two variants, with one featuring El Rubius in a white t-shirt while the other changes his face to a cat-like character, which some have referred to as a crossover between a cat and the Pokemon Gengar. El Rubius is well known for his love of cats, as he has three pet cats, which has inspired the cutest aspect of the ICON outfit.
By far the most popular part of his ICON series pack has been the back bling, as features a cat sleeping - something that has naturally led to many calling it one of the most adorable back blings in Fortnite. That's not all, either, as the back bling is also reactive, with the cat having a short animation of waking up when players perform El Rubius' emote. As far as the pickaxe is concerned, it is a pretty flashy sword with a neon effect. Last but not least, players will also be getting a chance to get the ICON set for free as part of the Rubius Cup, which is slated to be held in Fortnite on September 21, 2024.
