Fortnite adds Brazilian streamer Flakes to their ICON series group

The Fortnite ICON Series is about to get bigger. Reports suggest Flakes Power, a popular Brazilian streamer, is set to get an ICON Series skin very soon. He announced the skin on his livestream, so it's coming sooner rather than later.

The streamer is just 25 years old but is already one of the most prominent faces in the game.

He's been playing Fortnite since 2018 (arguably part of its prime) and has seen his YouTube subscriber count grow to nearly seven million.

Flakes Power Fortnite skin will come with the skin itself, an alternate style, a back bling, a harvesting tool, and a built-in emote. Here's a look at what the built-in emote will be.

The emote, aptly titled "Get Flakey," will see the skin dramatically from one style to another.

Flakes Power will join several other stars in the ICON Series, including:

• Ninja
• Loserfruit
• MrBeast
• Lazarbeam
• Chica
• Ali-A
• Bugha
• LeBron James
• Harry Kane
• Neymar, Jr.
• Patrick Mahomes
• Marco Reus
• Naomi Osaka
• Bruno Mars
• Chloe Kim
• Andersen.Paak
• Marshmello
• Giannis Antetokounmpo
• Ariana Grande
• The Kid LAROI
• Lachlan
• Major Lazer
• J Balvin

While the streamer has shown off the skin, it's not officially confirmed by Epic Games. As a result, there's no official release date set for the skin. It may be held off until Chapter 4, Season 2, to promote the new season.

Additionally, as with many other ICON Series Fortnite skins before it, there will potentially be a tournament for players to unlock the skin early and for free. That has also not been set officially, though.

Who could be the next Fortnite ICON Series skin?

As Fortnite continues to grow, more and more celebrities and athletes get involved with the game. Whether it's as a player or as a popular skin or something, there are tons of famous people in it.

With Flakes Power added to the game, it begs the question: who's next?

MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani would be an excellent choice. So would Justin Jefferson, who already has a locker bundle in the game. Singers Billie Eilish or Taylor Swift could do a live concert and get an ICON Series skin.

The possibilities are truly endless. Epic Games can and has worked with anyone they have wanted to, so what's to stop them from getting any random celebrity they want?

The game's not going anywhere, which means more skins are coming. Why not grow the ICON Series if it's already this popular?
