Here is everything you need to about the Fortnite x Coachella Event. We have some new skins that even react to music!
Fortnite has worked with a variety of celebrities, iconic personalities, and brands, but it has never worked with a music festival. Coachella skins will be added to Fortnite to commemorate this year’s festival.
Coachella is perhaps the world’s largest music festival, including performances from a wide range of genres, but it has historically leaned more toward rock. The week-long festival often draws over 100,000 people to California each day, and it is widely regarded as one of the year’s most glamorous events.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite X Coachella crossover, including how much skins will cost and when they’ll be released.
The first batch of Coachella skins will be available in Fortnite on Thursday, April 14, at 8 p.m. ET | 5 p.m. GMT, with two limited edition outfits launching at the same time. These will be followed by a second set on Thursday, April 21, at 8 p.m. ET | 5 p.m. GMT, when another pair of outfits will be released.
The Wilder Outfit features the shark-inspired Finfin Back Bling, Neon Biter Pickaxe, and Finfin Flair Wrap, as well as the music-responsive Cosmic Equalizer alt Style. Meanwhile, the Lyric collection includes a cactus Swaguaro Back Bling and an electric Festival Shredder Pickaxe, both of which are music-responsive. The reactive Cosmic Equalizer will also be included. The outfits and items can be purchased separately or as part of a “Rocking at Coachella” pack.
The Alto Outfit’s accessories, such as the music-reactive Sonic Vibes Back Bling and the tropical Softest Electropalm Pickaxe, are available in the second outfit drop. The Cosmonautic Helmet Back Bling, a Tactical Crusher Pickaxe, and the Mainstage Wrap are all part of the Poet Outfit. They can be purchased separately or as part of a “Dancing at Coachella” bundle that includes the “Enter the Coachellaverse” Loading Screen.
The collaboration with Coachella builds on previous efforts by the game developer to include music in its game. In 2019, Fortnite held its first virtual concert, which featured Marshmello. Fortnite has continued to act as a digital venue since then, and it has shown to be popular: Travis Scott’s April 2020 event was viewed by 12.3 million players, according to Epic Games. Ariana Grande performed on the Rift Tour last year.
