Epic Games has announced that after a teaser from Rei Ami (the vocal talent behind Zoey), it’s true: Fortnite has added the KPop Demon Hunters.
Ami is the singing talent behind Zoey, as we mention, but there will also be quests from Rumi and Mira, as well as Zoey. Here’s the details:
- Horde Rush returns as Demon Rush: Recruit Rumi, Mira, or Zoey as you fight endless waves of faceless demons, while also loading up on Kpop Demon Hunters inspired perks between each Survival Phase – live from October 2 to November 1.
- Rumi, Mira and Zoey Outfits and Accessories: Players will also be able to channel the trio’s style with Rumi, Mira and Zoey outfits and accessories, as well as emotes hitting the Fortnite Shop. The HUNTR/X Bundle arrives October 2.
- Battle Royale and Blitz Items: Complete Quests from Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, and earn new items in Battle Royale and Blitz, including Rumi’s Sword and Mira’s X-tra Spicy Ramyeon.
From October 2nd (today), creators can also build and publish their own KPop Demon Hunters games within Fortnite. Epic’s Unreal Engine was actually used to help make the KPop Demon Hunters, too.
- Creators will have access to film-inspired assets, signature gameplay items, fearsome demon enemies, and HUNTR/X NPCs (Rumi, Mira, and Zoey).
- Whether it’s slashing through foes with Rumi’s Empowered Sword or orchestrating KPop street showdowns, developers can build melee-focused islands or remix their existing islands.
- The best part? Creators can begin publishing their games right away with the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Fortnite Creative on October 2 – there’s no publishing hold this time!
This collaboration follows on from another musical mixup, as Daft Punk hit the game during a recent weekend.
Fortnite is out now and free to play.
