The accompanying trailer teases a mesmerizing journey for Hamilton, as he navigates a surreal maze of mirrors. A sudden transformation unfolds as his reflection morphs, propelling him through a glass rift onto the famed Fortnite Island. The result? A striking new skin dominated by sleek black aesthetics, adorned with a distinctive mask and vibrant green, gold, and purple accents.

Adding an extra layer of charm, Hamilton's beloved pet dog, Roscoe, becomes an integral part of the set. The trailer reveals Roscoe as a Back Bling, sporting a matching suit to Hamilton's and even taking a prominent spot on the glider, resembling a stylish surfboard. Completing the ensemble is a harvesting tool that mirrors a formidable sword.
