A virtual concert might also be part of the deal. Let's dive further into the details.

The leak began with JorgeMost, a Fortnite leaker who provided further details regarding Fortnite's upcoming collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Karol G. The leaker first mentioned an upcoming collaboration between Fortnite and a group of female singers.

HYPEX, another prominent Fortnite leaker, posted also on his X account about this potential collaboration.

What to expect from Fortnite BLACKPINK Collaboration

We all know that Fortnite has a history of collaborating with various celebrities, musicians, and brands. These collaborations often bring exclusive content and events to the game, making it more engaging and interesting for players and fans. While Epic Games has yet to confirm the details, players can expect the following:

  1. Fortnite Festival Game Mode – This upcoming collaboration is rumored to revolve around the Fortnite Festival game mode. Fortnite Festival is a controller-based rhythm game where players hit notes on a moving track time with a song. BLACKPINK being featured in the Fortnite Festival could mean that players would be able to listen and play along to their favorite BLACKPINK Jam Tracks. It's also not impossible for Fortnite to bring some of BLACKPINK's most popular songs into the game.
  2. In-game Skins – Like previous collaborations, players would be able to purchase or earn skins modeled after the members of BLACKPINK.
  3. New Mythic Items – Fortnite's recent collaboration with Metallica has brought a new mythic item, the Ride the Lightning guitar mythic. If BLACKPINK were really to arrive in Fortnite, it's possible that we would be seeing another mythic item

Who is BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK is a South Korean girl group consisting of four members: Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. They rose to global fame with their hit songs like “BOOMBAYAH,” “As If It's Your Last,” “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” “Kill This Love,” “How You Like That,” and “Lovesick Girls.” Known for their catchy music, BLACKPINK has broken numerous records, particularly with their music videos on YouTube. They have also collaborated with international artists such as Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez.  They were also the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella in 2019 and returned to perform again in 2023.

Furthermore, BLACKPINK also collaborated with PUBG back in 2022 where they hosted a virtual concert. So from a gaming perspective, collaboration with Fortnite would not be impossible. The game has a history of partnering with high-profile musicians and celebrities.  BLACKPINK, with their global fanbase and influential presence in the music industry, fits the bill perfectly. Their involvement would not only attract K-pop fans but also provide a fresh and exciting experience for the existing Fortnite community.
