Rumors are swirling that Sabrina Carpenter might be the next big name heading to Fortnite Festival for Season 8. A well-known leaker in the Fortnite community has hinted at Carpenter’s arrival, suggesting she could be the next artist to take the stage. Currently, Fortnite is in the heart of Chapter 6, Season 2, with the eagerly awaited Fortnite OG Season 3 slated to launch on March 25.
As the curtain closes on the ongoing Fortnite Festival season on April 8, anticipation is building among fans about what’s next. Season 7 was a hit, especially with the inclusion of Hatsune Miku, the famous Japanese vocaloid. Players enjoyed a plethora of Miku-inspired content, including jam tracks, skins, and instruments. Fortnite has even innovated its gameplay by allowing instruments to serve as back blings and tools in the battle royale segment.
In a development that has fans buzzing, leaker HYPEX shared on Twitter that Carpenter might indeed be the chosen star for Season 8. Insider sources confirmed that the upcoming Fortnite music icon would be female. Given Carpenter’s existing collaboration with Epic Games, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see her join the Fortnite universe as a character. Speculation is rife about what goodies her Fortnite Festival Pass could contain, available with Fortnite’s Crew subscription.
Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to the limelight, thanks to chartbusters like “Feather” and “Espresso,” both of which have found their way into the game as emotes. Initially, there was a hiccup with the “Caffeinated” emote—players noticed the song’s speed was off. After adjustments, Epic Games reintroduced it to the Item Shop, much to the community’s delight. Should Carpenter indeed headline the next festival, players can look forward to more themed content such as cosmetics, emotes, and instruments. Until Epic Games drops an official confirmation, it’s wise to treat these leaks as tantalizing possibilities.
Interestingly, some players had pegged T-Pain as the next potential artist, thanks to his ongoing narrative with Fortnite’s Big Dill, which kickstarted in Chapter 6 Season 2. This rap feud has left fans curious and eager for more content. With Season 8 on the horizon, excitement is palpable as players await the surprises Epic Games has in store.
