In addition to the music video that will be broadcast, two new emotes with the theme of BTS will also be sold on September 23, 2020. Epic Games said the new emotes were taken from BTS choreography.

According to Fortnite's Head of Global Partnerships, Nate Nanzer, BTS's presence in Party Royale mode will be Fortnite's main attraction. Moreover, they will also focus on building high-tech studios to accommodate virtual concerts that will be broadcast on Fortnite.

"This is a unique way to appear in an audience that may not be reached," he said.

In fact, this is not the first time Fortnite has collaborated with well-known musicians to present music content in the game. Previously there were Marshmello, Travis Scott and Kenshi Yonezu who appeared virtually at Party Royale at Fortnite.

Fortnite itself, can be played for free on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android via fortnite.com. However, iPhone users are temporarily unable to play, because there is a dispute between Epic Games and Apple.
