As for the artist herself, Ariana Grande is probably Epic Games biggest yet, and she references her excitement to bringing her concert into the game.
“Working with Epic and the Fortnite team to bring my music to life inside the game has been so fun and such an honour… I can’t wait to join my fans and see all of your reactions to such an unforgettable, magical journey to new realities,” said Ariana.
As for now, all fans have to do is wait and see what the concert brings. And that won’t be hard with a number of sought after skins, cosmetics and emotes hitting the Fortnite item shop from August 4 2021. Check out the details below, what are you looking to pick up?

What Does the Ariana Fortnite Skin Look Like?
There will be two versions of the Ariana Grande skin in Fortnite.

We’re not sure which we prefer, but all we know is camping in a bush all game simply isn’t an option with this skin on… damn.
