A digital version of Lady Gaga is set to appear in wildly popular online shooter Fornite.
The star teased her participation in an upcoming Fortnite Festival on Tuesday by tweeting a playful correction to her previous misspelling of the smash-hit game and including a glam Fortnite-style likeness of herself.
She quote-tweeted her own 2019 tweet asking, “what’s fortnight”?

The one-word text of the new tweet consisted of just the video game’s title spelled correctly, with an asterisk to indicate the “Shallow” singer knew she was making a correction.
Fortnite Festival was introduced last year as the platform’s rhythm game, comparable to Guitar Hero or Rock Band, which rose to popularity in the mid-2000s.
The headliner for the first season was The Weeknd, whose songs were featured in Fortnite and whose likeness was used to create a wearable “skin” for players.

Little information is known on what this year’s festival has in store, or if Gaga’s role will function similar to how The Weeknd’s did last year. It’s possible the platform also pulls from previous collaborations with Ariana Grande and Travis Scott or song rights they already own from Weezer and Kendrick Lamar, according to The Rolling Stone.
It was rumored in 2022 that Gaga herself could potentially host a virtual concert for Fortnite, after an audio clip was leaked of a remixed version of “Poker Face.”
The X account @FNLeaksAndInfo leaked the clip, according to Out Magazine, but there’s been no word since on the rumor.
Fortnite has held popular virtual concerts in the past, form artists such as Marshmello Travis Scott.
