As with most Fortnite developments, the news of her joining was rumoured, leaked, speculated and mused upon, but that didn’t do much to abate fans’ excitement.
Billie joins the likes of Lady Gaga and The Weeknd in Fortnite Festival. Who knows what superstar will grace the platform next?
What to expect from Billy Eilish in Fortnite
Quite a lot, actually! Players can play through a number of Eilish’s songs as Jam Tracks, with more reportedly set to appear as the season progresses.
Currently, players can jam out to:
- All the Good Girls Go to Hell
- Happier Than Ever – Edit
- Oxytocin
- Therefore I Am
There are two Billie-themed instruments to unlock, as well – the Burial Mic and the Sleeper Keys Keytar.
You can also unlock the Bad Guy and You Should See Me in a Crown emotes in the Fortnite Shop, too.
With the Premium Reward Track, you can skip the queue and unlock the Green Roots Billie Outfit without having to do any of the quests.
Further down the road, we’ll get more items and another Outfit, so definitely keep an eye out on what’s to come if you’re an Eilish fan!
You can check it all out in the official Fortnite Festival Season 3 patch notes.
