Since the launch of Fortnite Festival in late 2023, numerous high-profile musicians have participated, including Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Lady Gaga.

Datamined Skins for Fortnite x Gorillaz
The collaboration between Fortnite and Gorillaz was initially revealed by well-known dataminer Shiina, with subsequent confirmation from reliable sources like Hypex. According to the leaked details, it appears that only the Murdoc and Russell Hobbs skins will be offered through the Music Pass, while players will need to acquire the 2D and Noodle skins from the item shop. This could disappoint some, as it implies they would need to spend over 4,000 V-Bucks to obtain the entire set of Gorillaz skins, contrasting the previous Metallica skins during Season 4. It remains possible that Epic Games may address these concerns in the future, so players might prefer to wait before purchasing 2D and Noodle skins until alternative acquisition methods are confirmed.
Anticipated Prices for Fortnite x Gorillaz Skins
- Murdoc + Russell Hobbs – 1,400 V-Bucks (Music Pass)
- 2D – 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop)
- Noodle – 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop)
