Lady Gaga to join Fortnite Festival

- Text and photos by wire services

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 smashhit 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 is known about this year’s festival, including whether Gaga’s role will be similar to The Weeknd’s last year.
