Fortnite Is Getting Brazilian Content Creator Flakes Power As A Skin

Fortnite is no stranger to adding content creators and streamers as skins, and that's exactly what's going to happen to notable Brazilian figure João ‘Flakes Power’ Sampaio in February. The creator's skin will unlock on February 25 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, but players can get a head start by playing the Super Flakes Cup starting the February 23 for a chance to unlock the skin early, along with two other items.

Flakes Power's addition to Fortnite's "Icon Series" comes at a time of unprecedented growth for Fortnite in Brazil. As a press release from Epic Games notes, the first week of December 2022 was the biggest for Fortnite in Brazil since the game's launch in 2017. Flakes Power isn't the first Brazilian to be featured in one of these series--rapper Emcida appeared in 2022's Soundwave Series.

February 25's update will include the Flakes Power outfit, the Electro-Crest Back Bling and the Electric Crescents Pickaxe. Along with this announcement, Epic has updated the handpicked Discover row for Creative islands, including several such as Flakes Deathrun 3.0 and Hero 1v1 Build Battle. The Super Flakes Cup will start February 23, and it's a Duos Zero Build tournament. Players who earn points during the event can unlock rewards, including the Flakes Tag Spray and Hello Hello Emoticon.

In other Fortnite news, we recently learned that Chapter 4 Season 1 will end a few days early, on March 8. It's not clear if this will lead to a maintenance period for the game or not.
