Epic Games has announced Chappell Roan as the headliner for Fortnite Festival Season 13, which will be released tomorrow in a colorful crossover event that combines pop stardom with battle royale pizzazz.
The new collaboration will be available on February 5, 2026, as part of the v39.40 update. This will also correspond with Fortnite‘s Chapter 6 Season 1, which is currently in progress and features a demon hunter theme that Roan’s electric personality will further amplify.

Two legendary skins top the list. The “Roan of Arc” knight armor skin from her 2024 VMAs show, available as an Item Shop bundle (estimated 3,200-3,500 V-Bucks), and the Pink Pony Club tour skin, unlocked by the Heartcore Music Pass (1,400 V-Bucks or Fortnite Crew subscription). Each bundle comes with additional items such as the Flaming Sword pickaxe, Femininomenon emote, Pink Pony sidekick, and Midwest Princess instruments (keytar, drumset, and microphone).
Leaked by insiders, the skins have been building hype for weeks, now confirmed by Epic’s announcement. Roan’s Grammy-winning success and songs such as “Good Luck, Babe!” make her an ideal Festival guest, as she has already announced her love for the game.
