Madison Beer talked her way to a ‘Fortnite’ collab
“This is definitely up there with being nominated for a Grammy” The post Madison Beer talked her way to a ‘Fortnite’ collab appeared first on NME .
Madison Beer is joining Fortnite as the newest “Icon”, following in the digital footsteps of Addison Rae , EsDeeKid , Sabrina Carpenter , Travis Scott and more.
Madison Beer publicly asked to be added to Fortnite earlier this year. During an episode of Hot Ones , the pop star played a game of “fuck, marry, kill” with video games Fall Guys , Fortnite and Dress To Impress .
“ Fall Guys feels like a very important one for me because I played it with my fans a lot when I was streaming a little bit randomly. That’s probably one I can’t take off. But Fortnite I would marry. I love Fortnite ,” said Beer. “They’ve changed it too much now though,” she continued before addressing the camera. “I’m a little bit upset with you Epic Games. Let’s speak really quickly, let’s get serious. Stop changing things that we love about Fortnite . Keep it original and give me a skin, please!”
Turns out Fortnite developer Epic Games was listening. “She manifested it all,” they wrote on social media alongside a trailer confirming a Madison Beer collaboration was coming. The Fortnite x Madison Beer collaboration goes live 1am BST, September 25.
“I would say this is definitely up there with being nominated for a Grammy and playing Madison Square Garden,” Beer said in a statement. “There’s things in my life that I am just obsessed with, and that I would die for, and Fortnite is one of them.”
To celebrate the launch, players can take part in a special Madison Beer icon cup. Top performers in each region will earn the Satin Angel Madison outfit and Madison’s angel wings back bling.
