Look like an entertainment platform
Epic Games is accustomed to this kind of bridge with celebrities, as in recently with the American rap star Travis Scott, or the Brazilian football star Neymar.
In the summer of 2021, an avatar of American singer Ariana Grande performing some of her songs appeared over a weekend in Fortnite.
Players could choose an option to go on a bit of an adventure with the pop and R&B artist, drawn as a half-human, half-fantasy character, in a short blue scale outfit or a silver ensemble.
Purpose of this strategy: not just being a shooting and survival game, but taking on the appearance of an entertainment platform.
Fortnite is one of the most popular video games in the world with nearly 200 million claimed players.
