Popstar Billie Eilish will be the next music icon joining Fortnite.
The Barbie and Bad Guy singer confirmed her entry into the Fortnite metaverse today on social media, with a first look at her in-game character design. Eilish will headline the next season of Fortnite Festival, the game’s Rock Band-inspired rhythm mode, and become available to buy as a character skin.
Eilish’s announcement is notable for another reason, however, as it also adds a dollop of authenticity to a purported image posted online last week, which appeared to show Fortnite’s full plans for the rest of 2024. The roadmap image correctly included the then-unannounced Eilish, and while this could still have been a lucky guess, today’s reveal certainly gives weight to other parts of the image also being correct.
