I’m too trained on data until October 2023. Well, the dance floor is calling all Fortnite players, and it is hotter than hot. Eight new icon emotes introduced by epic games; one is Chappell Roan’s viral hit “Good Luck, Babe!” Yes, it is true: here is the breakup anthem of the internet, and now it is a Fortnite emote-no surprise there, right?
Okay, so what is all the fuss surrounding these new emotes? Well, leaks and dataminers (bless them!) have let the cat out of the bag. One of the newest leaked emotes happens to be: Good Luck, Babe! That’s the first of many such leaks. The rest? Still a mystery. Epic’s running on the hush-hush as usual, but you know it is gonna be fire.
Importance? Because Icon Emotes by Fortnite literally stand as cultural time capsules. Remember when Renegade went viral on TikTok? Or how Orange Justice had become a trending meme? These emotes are not just dances; they have lived the moment. And with that song bringing up by Chappell Roan, just about you know this one-in-game would take the world by storm.
Honestly? The broader question is, where are the rest of the seven emotes? Some leaked leaks have been leaked, but let’s keep it real; if there was some pattern that could be made here, it would most likely indicate that the emotes will again range from a florid collection of viral trends along with some throwback old bangers. Another Tik Tok dance? Surprise celebrity collab? Or in a turn of the very bizarre event, the emote for that meme which your weird cousin has been bombarding every other minute to you.
Now think of the timing-a reasonable question. Let’s be honest: there’s been one update dropping JUST as we talk about the fire Fortnite season (and no extra points if you know why). Coincidence? Probably Not. Epic loves to drop sweet new content when a player is at the top of the hype and this seems like a perfect way to build that momentum.
So when could we expect to see these emotes? No dates set at this point in keeping with previous updates, the likely scenario is that emotes are going to land in the Item Shop during the next few weeks. You just know Good Luck, Babe! is going to sell out quickly.
In the meantime, just hold onto those leaks. The Fortnite community is hell-bent on laying down the secrets and much more should come to light pretty soon. And by the way, if you’re not following Chappell Roan till now, maybe it’s time to start? Just saying.
In summary, Fortnite is absolute fire. It does not matter if you want to meme, listen to the song, or see 50 people completely lose it simultaneously while dancing; this update has something in reserve for everyone. Please forgive us as we practice our Good Luck, Babe! moves in front of the mirror. No shame.
