The singer became famous in 2024 with her first album, ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,’ and has always wanted a character skin in the game Fortnite. That dream is now becoming a reality.

Fortnite Festival has featured a wide range of musicians, including major stars like The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and Metallica, as well as virtual artists like Hatsune Miku.

Now that it’s Chappell Roan’s time to shine, if you’re wondering when her Fortnite skin will be released, here’s the information you need.

What to expect from Chappell Roan in Fortnite

Sticking with our friend HYPEX’s leaks, Chappell Roan will be getting two Icon skins in Fortnite.

We don’t have many details about one of the new skins, but HYPEX has revealed the other skin will show Chappell in knight armor, inspired by the outfit she wore to the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

Plus, another insider, Leaky, has verified that the collaboration will include a Sidekick with a design based on the Pink Pony Club, along with musical instruments like a microphone and drum set.

Similar to other Fortnite Festival Icon skins, you’ll probably be able to unlock these by purchasing and progressing through the new seasonal Music Pass within Fortnite Festival.
