Court documents reveal Epic Games were working on bringing Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga to Fortnite
Epic Games were reportedly working on bringing Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga to Fortnite Battle Royale, a court document has revealed.
According to Fortnite Insider, a court document from yesterday's (3 May) trial between Apple and Epic Games revealed that Epic Games were working on bringing more collaborations to the Fortnite game.
It's unclear if the collaborations, which included skins and concerts, have been scrapped, but concerts with Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga were reportedly in the works, as well as skins for Katniss Everdeen, Lebron James, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and more.
EuroGamer reports that the Grande concert was originally scheduled for last October, and Gaga in-game concert was expected to follow in December 2020, both of which are yet to happen.
