Launch Day Lewis Hamilton

What is the lore behind Launch Day Lewis Hamilton in Fortnite?

Launch Day Lewis Hamilton is an Icon Series Outfit fashioned after none other Lewis Hamilton. Staying true to their larger-than-life approach to Icon Series, he looks incredible in-game. According to many fans, he is one of the best designed Icon Series Outfits to have been added thus far. With Selectable Styles and Reactivity, the Outfit truly shines in all regards. Perhaps the only weird thing about Launch Day Lewis Hamilton is the timing.

The character was added during Chapter 4 Season OG (5). At this juncture in time, reality was about to reset yet again. As such, introducing such an iconic personality to the game made no sense. Since he is not connected to any in-game lore and does not have a backstory either, he felt quite out of place. Nevertheless, the Outfit was still cool to look at both in matches and lockers alike.

That said, Epic Games did hide a tiny Easter Egg in his official description which reads, "From the speedway to the stars." With The Rocket taking off at the end of Chapter 4 Season OG (5), it felt like a teaser for fans. Given that history was repeating itself, this served as a reminder as to what would happen next. Aside from this cool little facet, there is nothing else that connects that character to the ongoing events in Fortnite. Epic Games may expand upon his lore in the future, but for now, he shall remain a mere cosmetic fixture.
