Grammy-winning pop star Chappell Roan is officially stepping into the Fortnite universe as the Icon for Fortnite Festival Season 13, launching on 5 February. Known for her bold theatricality and genre-blending sound, Roan’s arrival marks one of the most flamboyant and pop-forward collaborations Fortnite Festival has seen to date.
Blending burlesque drama, fairytale fantasy and unapologetic Midwestern camp, Chappell Roan’s aesthetic translates seamlessly into Fortnite’s ever-expanding digital stage. The singer will headline the Fortnite Festival Main Stage, bringing her music, style and signature Pink Pony energy to players worldwide.
From Fan to Fortnite Icon
Chappell Roan’s Fortnite debut is a full-circle moment. A self-confessed Fortnite fan, the artist previously joked in an interview, “Please give me a skin, please” — and now that wish has been fully realised. From 5 February, players can embody Roan’s trailblazing persona with two distinctive in-game outfits designed to capture her evolving pop mythology.
The Roan of Arc Outfit, inspired by her striking 2024 VMAs performance, leans into medieval fantasy, while the Chappell Roan Outfit delivers full-throttle Pink Pony glam. Completing the look is her Pink Pony Sidekick, bringing an extra dose of personality to the battlefield.
A Castle-Themed Main Stage and Jam Tracks
Season 13 introduces a dramatic, medieval castle-themed Fortnite Festival Main Stage, drawing inspiration from Chappell Roan’s “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” tour design. The setting provides a cinematic backdrop for a selection of Jam Tracks, including:
-
“Pink Pony Club” (brand new to Fortnite)
-
“Good Luck, Babe!”
-
“HOT TO GO!”
-
“The Giver”
The addition of Pink Pony Club marks a major moment for fans, as one of Roan’s most celebrated tracks finally makes its Fortnite debut.
New Emotes and Signature Moves
Players can also pick up exclusive emotes inspired by Roan’s live performances and choreography. The Pink Pony Club emote, featuring dance choreography by Ryan Heffington, captures the theatrical flair fans know and love, while the traversal Femininomenon emote adds a playful, high-energy movement option in-game.
Both emotes will be available via the Fortnite Item Shop, allowing players to fully commit to the Chappell Roan experience.
