Samsung Galaxy S10 Fortnite iKONIK Promotion Gets Delayed
Samsung has delayed the promotion between the Galaxy S10 family of devices and Fortnite which allows owners of the phones to get free access to an exclusive cosmetics bundle.
The bundle included a k-pop inspired iKONIK outfit alongside the Scenario emote, both of which are taken from the existing k-pop group iKON.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 released on Friday, March 9, 2019 and players have not been able to redeem their bundle as it has been delayed until further notice. Samsung made a statement on their Support twitter account.
In order for #GalaxyS10 users to have the best experience redeeming the iKONIK outfit and Scenario emote, Samsung and Epic Games are taking extra time to further review this process before making the promotion widely available. We'll share updates here: https://t.co/ugsE5x90S3

It's possible the delay is to make the process of redemption better and to avoid exploiters and glitches, both of which have allowed players in the past to get other exclusive skins without owning the phone.
We'll keep you updated on the skin's release.
