Ed Sheeran To Host In-Game Concert In Fortnite
Fortnite is partnering with iHeartLand to bring "A Special Ed Sheeran Immersive Experience” to Fortnite. In the process, fans will experience performances by Ed Sheeran while exploring exclusive scenes surrounding his songs.
And while this isn't the first in-game concert, it will at least be the first Fortnite concert created using Epic Games' Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
According to iHeart, the experience will be inspired by Ed Sheeran's own songs, which he performed exclusively for iHeartRadio to celebrate his albums Subtract and Autumn Variations, which will be released everywhere on September 29.
In the process, fans will be immersed in a variety of worlds and landscapes, ranging from a big city at night to a boxing ring in a desolate city at sunset, or from a high-speed boat cruising through a rich ocean ecosystem to a lush forest landscape. All four scenes include Easter Eggs that relate to the musician and his music.
Of course, the best Ed Sheeran songs are not to be missed! The set list includes “Eyes Closed,” “Shape of You,” “Boat” and “Life Goes On,” among others.
How To Take Part In Ed Sheeran's Fortnite Concert
“A Special Ed Sheeran Immersive Experience” will be available in Fortnite from October 5, 2023 to October 9, 2023. You can join the island either directly via the Discover screen, or via an island code, but that hasn't been revealed yet.
Unfortunately, we also don't know yet if there will be matching in-game cosmetics or even an Ed Sheeran skin. As soon as more information is known, we will of course update this article for you.
