Epic details the release of these new Silk Sonic skins for Fortniteย on its official website today. Officially, both Mars and .Paak will be coming to the Item Shop next week on February 10, 2022. However, as we have seen in the past with some skin releases, Epic will be giving players the chance to earn these skins ahead of time. Starting on February 7th, Fortnite will be holding the Silk Sonic Cup. This event will allow players to queue up for ten matches for a period of three hours. Those who end up having the most success over this period of time can then be rewarded with the Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak skins ahead of time.ย
In addition to Mars and .Paak getting their own character skins in Fortnite, there will be a number of other accessories also made available in this upcoming release. Mars and .Paak will each individually have three different styles that players will be able to choose from when it comes to using either character in-game. In addition, .Paak will have a piece of back bling and a pickaxe that is each modeled after a drum set. Mars will then have a pickaxe that looks like a microphone stand and will also come with his own unique emote. Lastly, a new music track will also be included with this bundle and will allow you to jam out before taking part in a match.ย
