One of the biggest content creators in the entire world has announced a massive collaboration recently.
Lachlan, an Australian creator exploded in popularity during the boom of Fortnite back in 2018/2019.
Now, Epic Games has rewarded Lachlan for his dedication to the game with a future skin as apart of the Icon Series.
Here are all the details!
Icon Series
Lachlan’s skin will be the next cosmetic bundle as apart of the Fortnite Icon Series.
This kickstarted with Ninja back at the beginning of 2020.
Then popular Australian streamer LoserFruit was next in line for the series, and now Lachlan will be joining the bunch.
Epic Games posted a blog post with the announcement here with some more details on the skin bundle.

Pickaxe Frenzy
What Is It?
Epic has also announced a unique way to earn the Lachlan skin without purchasing it.
