A few days ago, Lachlan tweeted that he shall be disclosing his biggest announcement yet, and today, he revealed that he would be getting his very own Fortnite Skin, emote and back bling. In his announcement video, Lachlan revealed a few more details about his upcoming skin, and stated that it would be entering the item store on 12th November, at 7 PM (EST).

He also talked about a one of a kind tournament, which is scheduled to be happening in the game soon, wherein players could be presented with an opportunity to get the Fortnite cosmetic for free.

The skin is set to be revealed on the first day of the tournament, however, we will have to wait to get more details about it. He also clarified that the leaks about the 'PWR' cosmetic set were purely coincidental, and that leakers got lucky with the reveal of the skin.
