Canadian streamer Maria “Chica” Lopez with over 2 million Twitch followers, has been named the newest member of Epic Games’ Fortnite Icon Series.
Chica joins the Icon Series, which immortalizes celebrities and high-profile content creators with skins and other cosmetics in Fortnite, alongside professional athletes like LeBron James and Neymar Jr., pop star Ariana Grande, fellow streamer Kathleen “Loserfruit” Belsten, and others.
Chica’s Fortnite Icon Series cosmetic set, which includes Chica Outfit, Star back bling, Aida’s Edge Pickaxe, Alternate styleroyale Streak for all three items, and Pollo Dance Emote, will be available in the item shop on May 7th at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.
On May 5, those who want to unlock pieces of Chica’s cosmetic set early can compete in the Chica Cup, which includes an extra Chica Was Here spray. Finally, in honor of the event, a new Creative map themed around the streamer, the Chica’s Fun Run obstacle course, will be added to the list of available modes.
Chica enters Fortnite at a critical juncture, with the IO and Resistance fighting in Tilted Towers following the 20.30 patch. Her addition coincides with the game’s May 4th Celebration, which brought back lightsabers, blaster rifles, and a slew of Star Wars skins.
