A Fortnite Shaq skin was first teased ahead of our most recent update update. This new skin will feature the basketballer turned all-round icon as a skin in the Fortnite item shop. They’ll even be joining the most prestige series in the game’s cosmetics. Now, we’ve got the full look for the skin released!
We’ve only just had the Fortnite Rebius Icon Skin released a few days ago, but it seems Epic has been hard at work on another icon. This one is a bit different though. It’s a version of a real-life person who isn’t a streamer. Epic uses the Icon Skin label for quite a few different types of skins. Real-life celebrities being included are also in this mode.
The new skin is planned to launch on October 4th. What’s coming with the Fortnite Shaq skin?
The Shaq set in Fortnite goes a bit further than a lot of skins! There are multiple different items included and alternative styles for players to use.
With the skin now unveiled, we’ve got a good look at the new Icon. There’s a skin for Shaq in vaguely sportswear which is fitting, and another that seems to be a more Fortnite-style design with gold and black clothes. He’s also coming with a backbling and pickaxe with a DJ turntable. The emote also ties into his work as a DJ more recently, and the meme that came from that.

One big surprise ahead of the most recent Fortnite update was a trailer being released for an upcoming collaboration. It’s not this season’s event pass, but instead a Fortnite X Shaq crossover. This new skin will be part of the Fortnite Icon Series!

Shaq is best known for his time as a Basketball player, being one of the greatest players ever. He’ll join quite a few sports stars who already have Fortnite skins. Past though, Shaq has become pretty widely known outside of the court. Appearing in films, hosting a podcast and reality show, and other work. He’s definitely a fitting addition to the Icon Series.
The Fortnite Shaq skin is the next addition to the Icon Series, but when can we expect it? At the moment, it’s scheduled for October 4th. That’s from initial Fortnite leaks about when it’ll be added. This date could change, but it has been revealed on time and seems set to hit the item shop soon.
For the exact items and release time, we likely have too long to wait. Then we can get a proper look at the Fortnite Shaq skin in-game!
