Bench, a film that won at the Los Angeles Animation Fest, will be part of the lineup. It’s a claymation short movie that explores themes about sharing. Rollin’ Wild Safari is another feature, and its main characters are all very pleasantly rotund. The film asks an exciting question, “What if animals were round?”
A new emote, Jumbo Popcorn, will be available for the event. Players can get it on February 19.
The Party Royale mode has hosted other entertainment acts, including virtual concerts. Travis Scott’s Fortnite performance notably made waves for its unprecedented attendance. Since then, other music acts like Anderson .Paak and BTS have graced Fortnite’s virtual stage.

After the selection, you’ll be back at the Lobby screen. Press play and go to the Main Stage for the performance.
