Saddle up, fellow Fortnite and Chappell Roan enjoyers, and get ready to hit the Pink Pony Club as the pop megastar seems to be making her way to the island. She’s rumored to be the next Fortnite Festival artist taking over the main stage quite soon.
On Jan. 22, a minor new update was released for Fortnite, adding a special room packed with Easter eggs that seem to hint at Chappell Roan. Based on files released with it, several big dataminers in the community also shared that they expect her to be the next Festival icon, allegedly set to arrive on Feb. 5 when the current Festival season ends.
The leakers who shared this information include HYPEX, Shiina, and FireMonkey on X (formerly Twitter). They’re all fairly reliable and usually end up being right, so it’s looking good for all of my fellow Midwest Princesses. The room of Easter eggs, which can be found at Battlewood Boulevard, is by far the most substantial evidence, though. This room has a dancing pink pony, a metal suit of armor, a sparkly pink microphone, and quite a few other potential Easter eggs for the pop singer.
The biggest teaser is a pink pony, which seems to be a reference to one of Chappell Roan’s biggest songs, “Pink Pony Club.” She’s also performed while riding a pink horse that looks very similar to this one. The tiny horse is even wearing a bright pink cowboy hat similar to one the star herself has worn many times. This creature is fully animated, which likely means it will eventually be added as a Sidekick you can buy and have at your side in battle.
The knight outfit Easter egg is a bit of a deeper cut, but real fans know it’s likely a nod to one of her most iconic performance looks to date. At the 2024 VMAs event, she performed “Good Luck, Babe!” while wearing a suit of armor and carrying a real crossbow in front of a flaming castle. I’m hoping this little teaser means that one of her potential Fortnite skins might be this iconic knight look, but we’ll have to wait and see.
On the balcony in front of the room, there’s a sparkly pink and black drumset next to a microphone. These items aren’t in the game yet, and match Chappell Roan’s flashy glitz and glam look perfectly, so they’ll likely be released alongside her. There’s also a princess doll wearing a blue dress on the bed, which may be a reference to her album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess.” Stars are a big motif throughout her album art and music videos, too, and there are plenty to be found around the room.
Before Sabrina Carpenter landed on the island as the season eight icon, she also got a room full of Easter eggs. It seems like Chappell Roan is getting the same treatment here, although her teasers seem even more obvious since they include several items that aren’t in the game yet.
If Chappell Roan does arrive as a Festival artist, we can expect to see quite a collection of new items themed around her. This includes at least two Outfits, likely several Jam Tracks, like “HOT TO GO!” and “Pink Pony Club,” Emotes featuring some of her most iconic songs, and much more.
At the time of writing, Chappell Roan’s arrival is only based on leaks, speculation, and the Easter eggs you can see for yourself on the island. We’ll likely get an official announcement from Fortnite sometime in the next week or so, though, so it shouldn’t be long before the Femininomenon actually takes over.
