A well-known Fortnite leaker has sparked excitement by suggesting that Sabrina Carpenter might be the next big name to grace the Fortnite Festival in Season 8. As Fortnite is currently deep into Chapter 6, Season 2 of its battle royale phase, anticipation is building towards Fortnite OG Season 3, set to launch on March 25. This has fans buzzing with speculation about future developments.
The present Fortnite Festival season, closing out on April 8, has players eagerly predicting the upcoming attractions. Previously, Season 7 wowed fans by adding Hatsune Miku, the hugely popular vocaloid artist from Japan, to its roster. Miku received a significant nod with an array of jam tracks, unique emotes, character skins, and even instruments. Notably, Fortnite has tweaked these in-game instruments, allowing players to use them both as back blings and harvesting tools in the battle royale mode.
Recently, a tweet from the prolific leaker known as HYPEX stirred the community further. According to the tweet, insiders indicate a female artist will headline Season 8, with Sabrina Carpenter emerging as a likely candidate. Carpenter’s already established rapport with Epic Games bolsters these rumors, with fans eagerly envisioning her as a Fortnite character skin. Furthermore, speculations are rife about the potential content of her Fortnite Festival Pass, a feature included in the game’s Crew subscription package.
Sabrina Carpenter has been capturing attention with hits like “Feather” and “Espresso,” both of which have their own dedicated emotes in Fortnite. Initially, the “Caffeinated” emote was pulled from the Item Shop following community feedback over its sped-up music. After adjusting it to its original tempo, Epic Games reintroduced the emote, much to the players’ delight. Should Carpenter become the upcoming musical feature, fans can likely anticipate an assortment of new cosmetics, including skins, emotes, and instruments. However, players should treat this exciting leak with caution until confirmed by an official announcement from Epic Games.
Curiously, some players expected to hear T-Pain’s name instead, owing to the ongoing virtual spat between Fortnite’s Big Dill and the musician. This rap rivalry kicked off at the beginning of Chapter 6 Season 2, leaving fans intrigued and hungry for more content since its debut. With a fresh festival season looming and additional content on the horizon, players are on tenterhooks to see what surprises Epic Games will unveil next.
