Epic Games launches Sabrina Carpenter skins for Fortnite Festival

In the United States, Epic Games has officially unveiled two new skins for popular video game Fortnite, inspired by singer Sabrina Carpenter, as part of a notable collaboration for the Fortnite Festival. This event is set to commence on April 8, 2025, where Carpenter is expected to perform as the headliner. The skins reflect Carpenter's stylish public persona, featuring elements from her recent performances, including a yellow embellished babydoll dress inspired by outfits designed for her by Victoria's Secret in collaboration with notable stylist Jared Ellner. In addition, players can unlock a range of musical tracks, with her original songs 'Juno' and 'Nonsense' included in the Season 8 Music Pass. Other outfits are also available for purchase, including a Tour-Ready version of her skin that is modeled after costumes she wore onstage during her tours, designed by experts in fashion. The launch of these skins aims to further integrate music and gaming, reflecting current trends where musicians frequently engage with gaming platforms. The Fortnite Festival is expected to resonate well with players, considering the popularity of past collaborations with various artists like Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish. Moreover, Fortnite is beginning to showcase features like dance emotes that enhance player interactivity by allowing non-owning players to join in on emotes initiated by those who own them. This collaborative approach marks an evolving direction for Fortnite as it blends entertainment and gaming cultures, providing fans with novel ways to experience the game through their favorite artists.
