The season began with a significant partnership with musical sensation Sabrina Carpenter, who headlined Fortnite Festival Season 8 with exclusive skins and emotes that have wowed fans since April 8.

“When we first teamed up with Epic to bring Jinx and Vi to Fortnite, it was a new kind of crossover for us and we hope it helped make [the season one] launch feel truly special,“ Merrill said.
