  • Two different styles
  • Back bling of an astronaut dog
  • Pickaxe shaped like an energy sword
  • Surfboard shaped glider with an astronaut dog

All of the items in the set are part of Fortnite’s Icon Series, which consists of real-life personalities such as influencers like TheGrefg, music stars like Ariana Grande, and athletes like Harry Kane and Marco Reus.

Although all of these items are cosmetic and do not affect gameplay like the rest of the outfits, fans of the seven-time Formula 1 world champion will surely want to get this outfit and play as their idol in Fortnite, especially considering the numerous racing maps that are available in Creative Mode.

Lewis Hamilton’s Fortnite outfit will hit the store on Saturday, November 17, 2023, at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT. Just keep in mind that when it’s available for purchase in the daily in-game store, you’ll want to snap it up quickly, because during the Fortnite OG mini-season, the store content only lasts for twenty-four hours.
