“This season’s Premium Reward Track (available to purchase for 1,800 V-Bucks) lets fans unlock Karol G-themed items including the Bichota Season Karol G Outfit, the Bichota Mic, and the Bichota 6-String Guitar,” notes the official Fortnite post. “In terms of gameplay, fans can collect EmPower-Ups in the music experience to blast away negative energy and spread positive vibes in this neon-drenched party.”

Karol G is the second Colombian artist to team up with Fortnite. In 2020, J Balvin headlined Fortnite‘s annual, game-wide “Fortnitemares” event on Halloween. The event included new gameplay, challenges, in-game rewards and more, culminating with Balvin’s set during the “Afterlife Party” that took place inside Party Royale, the weapons-free mode that Fortnite launched to host entertainment-related events.
