Fortnite Ali-A Icon Series skin revealed
The Fortnite Icon Series has honored and immortalized many of the top creators and celebrities by releasing their own skins, emotes, and other cosmetics. In the past, we’ve seen the likes of Ninja, Lachlan, Lazarbeam, Bugha, and most recently Chica was brought into Fortnite, and now one of the biggest and original Fortnite creators will be joining the star-studded line-up, Ali-A.
Ali-A has long been one of Fortnite’s biggest creators having started creating content for the game at its launch.
Since beginning his YouTube channel in 2006, Ali-A has gained over 17.5 million subscribers and over 5.6 billion views, with the star posting daily videos surrounding Fortnite news, challenges, and other content including Call of Duty.
When the Fortnite Icon Series launched many players immediately thought that Ali-A would be one of the names that would be coming to the game, and two years later it is finally happening.
A teaser was posted yesterday by Ali-A in a video titled “Goodbye” which had the YouTuber voice over an animation using the Fortnite skin that is tied to him due to a similar appearance. In this video, Ali-A stated that he would be back but would look slightly different, before revealing a Creative map that has a blacked-out figure of a new skin, which was then revealed by the Ali-A Icon Series skin.
