The Fortnite Icon Series gets a little more groovy today with the inclusion of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, the duo known as Silk Sonic.

The Silk Sonic set will drop in the item shop February 10 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, and it will include a skin, pickaxe, and back bling for each half of the dynamic musical duo, Bruno Mars's kit includes a Sound Scepter pickaxe that doubles as a back bling, while Anderson .Paak wields the Sonic Snare back bling and Boom Bap pickaxe.

Silk Sonic rolls onto the Fortnite island on February 10.

The item shop will include other items outside of the Silk Sonic Set to commemorate the duo's debut in Fortnite, including the Somebody This Fly lobby track, Freedom Wheels emote, and the returning Leave The Door Open emote.
