Popular Fortnite streamer Chica will reportedly be getting her own in-game skin, according to recent leaks. The Twitch creator would be the latest entry to the long-running Icon Series, which has previously brought skins that are themed after superstars like Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars to Fortnite.

Fortnite players have come to expect the arrival of new skins. The massively successful battle royale title is one of the most popular live-service video games on the market today, and part of that popularity has arguably been the result of regular content expansions. While these expansions will sometimes take the form of major overhauls such as new maps, features, or gameplay changes, most of them are new skins and cosmetics that can be purchased through the in-game store. Hollywood celebs like Zendaya and Tom Holland have made their way to the game, along with fictional characters like Nathan Drake and Batman. Although these skins will rarely draw the same level of attention as a significant shake-up like Fortnite‘s recent Zero Build Mode, they still play a significant role in the overall content release schedule of the game.

According to long-time Fortnite leaker FNBRintel on Twitter, a new set of cosmetics based on Twitch streamer Chica will be coming to the game. As is the case with many of these new cosmetics, the Chica set will feature a consistent base character model and two alternate outfits, making for a total of three distinct looks for the Chica skin. It’s unclear if other cosmetics, such as alternate backpacks or pickaxe replacements, will arrive alongside this new skin.

Gamers should always be skeptical of leaks, but FNBRintel has been correct several times in the past, accurately reporting recent expansions like the Mary Jane Fortnite skin. As such, this Twitter account is a more reliable source than most. The screenshots provided in the tweet also add a good deal of veracity to the claim, as this level of quality would be quite difficult and time-consuming to fake.

More information about this skin will likely be revealed by official sources soon, but fans of Chica are likely already getting excited. These new cosmetics could also pave the way for even more streamer-themed Fortnite skins. Some responses to FNBRintel’s tweet argue that streamer SypherPK deserves a skin, so perhaps he will be the next creator to come to the game. As per usual, Fortnite fans will have to keep their ears to the ground and wait for more news on that front.
