Fortnite‘s most controversial content creator, Ali-A, is finally getting his own Icon Series skin, several thousand misleading thumbnails later.
The English creator has been tied to Fortnite almost since the launch of Battle Royale, with his fans only being matched by his detractors. He has often been criticised for being disingenuous towards his young audience of 17.5 million on YouTube, but there’s no doubting his reach and the fact that he’s stuck with Fortnite pretty much the whole way.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite Ali-A Icon Series skin, including when it releases and how much it costs.

Fortnite Ali-A Skin Price
Based on the prices of other Fortnite Icon Series skins, Ali-A will cost 1500 V-Bucks when released into the Item Shop.
Players will also be able to get their hands on the Ali-A bundle that includes all Ali-A cosmetics for likely 2100 V-Bucks or so.
Fortnite Ali-A Skin Release Date
Ali-A will release into the Fortnite Item Shop on Thursday, May 19th, 2022 at 8PM ET when the Item Shop refreshes.
Ali-A will likely remain in the Item Shop for well over a week before being rotated out, so there’s no real rush to get them. They also won’t be exclusive and will return at some point down the line.
