A well-known Fortnite insider has recently suggested that fans of the game might be gearing up for an exciting addition to the Fortnite Festival lineup. According to the leak, Sabrina Carpenter is expected to take the stage in Season 8. We’re currently immersed in Chapter 6, Season 2 of the battle royale mode, and with Fortnite OG Season 3 slated to hit on March 25, players have a lot to look forward to.
As we approach April 8, the conclusion of the ongoing Fortnite Festival season, speculation is rampant about the next big reveal. Last season, the game delighted fans by introducing Hatsune Miku, the famous Japanese vocaloid. Miku’s arrival brought with it new jam tracks, emotes, and skins, not to mention instruments that players can now wield as back blings and harvest tools in battle.
A rumored insider tidbit, shared by the prominent leaker HYPEX on Twitter, hints that Sabrina Carpenter could be the next big name. The anticipation is high as she is reportedly set to grace Fortnite Festival in its upcoming season. With Carpenter already having collaborated with Epic Games, her potential inclusion is generating a buzz among her fans who are eager for a skin representing the artist in the game. Plus, there’s a lot of curiosity about what her Fortnite Festival Pass might offer for those subscribed to Fortnite’s Crew.
Sabrina Carpenter’s star power has grown tremendously through hits like “Feather” and “Espresso,” both of which are celebrated with their own in-game emotes. Interestingly, when the “Caffeinated” emote was first launched, it was quickly pulled after fans noticed the sped-up song. Epic Games listened, recalibrated, and relaunched it to much applause. If Carpenter indeed becomes the next Festival musician, players can likely expect a flurry of themed cosmetics, including skins and flashy emotes. Of course, until Epic Games issues an official announcement, we should keep our expectations in check regarding this juicy leak.
Some fans were caught off guard by the choice of Carpenter, as there was speculation that T-Pain might be the one taking the Fortnite music crown next. This speculation comes after a beef erupted between Fortnite’s Big Dill and T-Pain at the start of Chapter 6 Season 2, keeping fans on edge since then. With another enthralling season of Fortnite Festival approaching, the community is brimming with anticipation to see what fresh surprises Epic Games will unveil next.
