Epic Games has announced that Laufey's 'A Matter Of Time' Fortnite experience has been extended.
Laufey is the headliner of Fortnite Festival season 14, which went live April 16. The collaboration features a number of in-game cosmetics and emotes inspired by the jazz-pop star's recent 'A Matter Of Time' arena tour and several Laufey songs were added to the game.
The crossover also includes the 'Laufey: The Final Hour' experience. "A three‑act surreal fairytale set inside an enchanted castle, players journey through Laufey's imagination, moving from a swirling hall of mirrors and crashing pirate ship room to a towering clockwork tunnel and an intimate jazz club finale," explains a press release "Along the way, there are immersive performances of favourites 'Lover Girl' and 'Too Little, Too Late' as well as her new hit song 'Madwoman' from 'A Matter of Time: The Final Hour'. Afterward, players can stay to socialise, uncover hidden easter eggs, and take part in Laufey‑themed trivia."
Originally Fortnite Festival season 14 was set to end on July 15 but it has been extended by two weeks. The Laufey Fortnite experience will now end July 29.
"It's a collaboration you might not expect from me," Laufey told NME before the event went live. "When I started out, I was known as this jazz girl and people assumed I was timid and soft. Running around with a gun [in Fortnite] is absolutely the best way to show that there are so many more layers to me."
"Fortnite is just so fantastical," she continued. "It's something that you'd never see in real life but if you closed your eyes while listening to my music, it's the world you might dream up. It's uber romantic and very expressionist, in a way. I want to encourage my fans to be the biggest version of themselves. Inside a video game, you're free to be the most [authentic] version of yourself and not feel like you're being judged."
Players have also been having fun with the game's new karaoke mode, with several performance videos blowing up across social media.
Earlier this month, Fortnite unveiled a trio of new Star Wars experiences including a survival horror game starring Darth Vader.
In other news, it's been reported that Grand Theft Auto 6 could be the most expensive video game ever made.
