Just a few days after Madonna made her (sort of) debut in Fortnite, another female pop icon has confirmed she’s going to be the headline of the second season for Fortnite Festival.

Lady Gaga has announced on her X (formerly Twitter) account that she’ll be heading to the game on February 22, posting a teaser image of her character model hidden behind a smoky background to the delight of her fans.

Hilariously, Gaga made the reveal by also referencing her infamous tweet from back in 2019, asking “What’s Fortnight?” to her army of little Monsters.

In fact, Gaga has long been rumoured for the battle royale shooter, with a number of Fortnite leakers claiming to find references to the singer as far back as Summer 2022. Even before it became known that Fortnite would be getting its own music-centric mode.

At the time of writing, it’s not clear the full scope of her involvement – outside of the teased skin. Presumably, her character model will be playable in Battle Royale mode, just as The Weeknd was before.

She also already has at least one song – Bad Romance – already available in Fortnite Festival. Presumably though, many of her other tracks will be both playable and usable as Jam tracks once she arrives.

We won’t have long, presumably, to find out more – with what else is set to come in Fortnite Festival Season 2 set to be revealed within the next day or two.
