The group enters a new universe to headline the newest season
Gorillaz — the biggest virtual band in the world — has crossed over and crash-landed into a whole new universe. Band members Noodle, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Murdoc Niccals are the new Icons of Fortnite Festival Season 10, making their debut on August 26th.
“It’s an honor for all of you that I am finally to be immortalised in my own fiefdom. Watch out, serfs, here I come.” says Murdoc Niccals.
Before diving into the season ten details, look out for Fortnite Festival IRL at the Fortnite x Gorillaz Pop Up at Hackney Bridge Garden in London. Open through September 3rd, the Fortnite x Gorillaz pop-up merges the worlds of Gorillaz and Fortnite into an immersive activation filled with gaming stations, giveaways, live game streams and DJ performances.
Fortnite Festival’s Main Stage – where players and their bandmates perform – has transformed. Complete with towering buildings, a street train, and enough graffiti to make this band feel right at home, the new Main Stage channels Gorillaz through and through!
Gorillaz band members Noodle, 2D, Russel, and Murdoc will all be playable characters in Fortnite via Outfits, complete with themed matching in-game accessories.
Gorillaz in-game Cosmetics will be available in the Fortnite Shop or through the Music Pass as Free or Premium Rewards.
