Fortnite gets a musical makeover as Sabrina Carpenter joins the festival stage
Image via Epic Games Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is all set to take centre stage - virtually. In a unique blend of music and gaming, Epic Games has announced the Dance With Sabrina event as part of Fortnite Festival Season 8. The limited-time experience will run from May 30 to June 16, offering players a chance to attend a virtual concert and even star in it. How players can perform live in Fortnite's virtual concert The event will be hosted on Fortnite's Jam Stage, a mode designed to emulate the rhythm-based fun of games like Guitar Hero. Players can choose to perform as a vocalist, guitarist, drummer or bassist, and time their moves to hit songs such as 'Espresso' and 'Bad Chem'. The better the performance, the more their heart meter fills up - pushing them closer to an in-game spotlight. Those who score the highest during a session won't just be passive participants. Top performers will be assigned dynamic roles such as Dance Leader, Video Artist, or Special Effects Pro. Each role offers creative control over different parts of the show, from picking emotes and lighting effects to setting the stage's visual themes. The event is designed to be interactive and celebratory, with each concert shaped by its players. While this isn't the first time Fortnite has partnered with musical artists, Carpenter's event stands out for its immersive format. Earlier this year, her music and cosmetics were added to the game through the Season 8 Music Pass. Now, fans will get a more personal connection as they perform and pose alongside Carpenter's in-game avatar. Bad Chem bundle hits the item shop Adding to the excitement is the Bad Chem Bundle, which will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop starting May 29 at 8 PM ET. It includes a themed emote and jam track, timed perfectly for players wanting to dance in style. Though Epic has not confirmed any XP or cosmetic rewards for the Dance With Sabrina mode, players who top the leaderboard during a performance will get a chance to appear in the Finale Snapshot - a virtual group photo featuring Sabrina's avatar. For fans of the singer, it's an opportunity to be part of a digital tour experience unlike any other. And for Fortnite players, it's a chance to show off their rhythm and creativity in a global pop music celebration. So whether you're a seasoned Fortnite fan or a Sabrina Carpenter follower, mark your calendars - Fortnite is ready to get the party started.

Fortnite and Sabrina Carpenter want you to come dance
Fortnite 's ongoing Sabrina Carpenter-themed Festival season is about to switch it up by inviting players to test their rhythm game skills. Today, Epic announced the impending arrival of 'Dance with Sabrina,' a new rhythm-focused gaming mode within Fortnite Festival that will run from May 30th to June 16th. Described as a 'reimagined interactive music experience,' Dance with Sabrina will challenge players within the Festival Jam Stage to fill up their heart meters by matching the beat of some of Carpenter's songs like 'Espresso' and 'Bed Chem' as her avatar performs them on stage. By racking up the most hearts, Festival players will be able to 'contribute to the show' during the next song in one of three roles: Dance Leader, Special Effects Pro, or Video Artist. Players who match the most beats throughout the entire event will be pictured along with Carpenter's avatar in the Dance With Sabrina finale snapshot. Some Just Dance -style dancing would have been very cool to see in Fortnite, but Dance with Sabrina sounds a bit more like timed button mashing with some emoting thrown in for pizazz. That doesn't exactly seem like the most entertaining prospect, but this is part of how Epic figures out what works, and what doesn't.
