Fornite Festivalis a rhythm game which, though tied into theFortnitebattle royale experience, very much offersits own distinctive game mode.

In light of Gaga’s social media post, it seems that the singer and songwriter will be headlining the next season ofFortnite Festival, which is set to begin tomorrow (February 22). The debut season was headed up by The Weeknd, whose songs were available to play, and a range of The Weeknd-themed cosmetics were available in the item shop.

We don’t yet know if Lady Gaga’s inclusion will be on the same level as what we saw with The Weeknd, but the American pop idol will certainly be featuring inFortnite Festival’s second season in a big way.
