The skins of Fortnite inspired by characters are not lacking, but those based on real personalities who have the right to integrate the series Icons are rarer. J Balvin, Harry Kane and Marco Reus or even streamers have had this honor in the past. It is now the turn of a group of singers made up of two international stars: Silk Sonic, the duo of R&B created by Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak.
However, you will have to checkout to find their funky appearances, or be good enough to win them during the Silk Sonic Cup.
Grammy-nominated R&B duo Silk Sonic take flight in the Fortnite Icons series on Friday, February 11 at 1:00 a.m. (CET). But you can also enter the Silk Sonic Cup on Monday, February 7, for a chance to unlock Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s outfits and accessories before they hit the store!
