Epic Games is teasing the biggest in-game event since Travis Scott psychedelically stomped through Fortnite\u2019s virtual meadows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mysterious new event, which Fortnite-maker Epic is calling the \u201cRift Tour,\u201d will kick off on Friday, August 6 and run through Sunday, August 8. In the teaser announcement, Epic invites players to \u201ctake a musical journey into magical new realities where Fortnite and a record-breaking superstar collide.\u201d<\/p>\n

In-game events building up to the mystery show series will run from July 29 through August 8, so players can hop into Fortnite to check out new Rift Tour-themed quests and rewards now. The cotton-candy-colored event will offer a custom loading screen and a fluffy cloud kitty emoticon, among other digital prizes.<\/p>\n

The Rift Tour isn\u2019t a one-and-done event. Like the Travis Scott event, Fortnite will host five different show times across three days to make it easier for players to catch. Epic says they\u2019ll have more details to share on Monday, August 2, so Fortnite players will have to wait for more hints or an official announcement about who\u2019s performing.<\/p>\n

So \u2026 who\u2019s performing? So far, all signs point to Ariana Grande. Leakers have been saying as much for more than a week, and the documents revealed through Epic\u2019s court battle with Apple also detailed plans for in-game events with both Grande and Lady Gaga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At Forbes, Paul Tassi also connected the dots<\/a> on how recent leaks point to Grande, including some visual themes from her music videos and a reference to her pet pig Piggy Smalls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since Epic is calling its latest virtual event a tour, that suggests Grande won\u2019t be alone, if she is indeed the mystery superstar. A Lady Gaga appearance could also be in the cards, since Epic apparently had plans for Gaga to appear in a December 2020 concert<\/a> that never materialized. Kanye West is also releasing his newest album on August 6<\/a>, but it seems less likely that Epic would be willing to partner with West given his myriad recent controversies. And \u201cDonda,\u201d West\u2019s latest album, was originally scheduled for a different date before being delayed.<\/p>\n

Whoever it winds up being, we\u2019ll likely know more on Monday. Even if you\u2019re not a Grande fan or a regular gamer, Fortnite\u2019s in-game concerts are some of the most creative<\/a> and visually exciting virtual events to date.<\/p>\n

Everyone should fall through the metaverse with their friends while a skyscraper-sized virtual rapper shoots neon lightning bolts at least once.<\/p>\n
