Fortnite‘s evolution over the years since its launch has been nothing short of insane. What started as a charming horde mode in Save the World has evolved into a larger-than-life battle royale with millions of players loading in daily.
It’s never been more evident how big Fortnite has become than with its Icon Series skins, a line of rare in-game cosmetics featuring some of the biggest personas in the world. Content creators like SypherPK and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James are all playable in Epic Games’ battle royale.
Epic Games isn’t done with Icon Series yet, as Lewis Hamilton will be joining the star-studded lineup very soon.
