Fortnite has added a number of popular dance moves over the past few years, so it should come as no surprise that PSY’s Gangnam Style dance is now the latest Emote of the game! Epic Games announced the new addition on Twitter, along with a short video showing what it will look like when used in the game. Those who would like to have their character danced to the international pop culture sensation in 2012 can now catch the Emote in the Item store. Players will need to drop a cool 500 V-Bucks to grab it for themselves, and it’s available right now!
The official announcement of Epic Games can be found in the Tweet below.

The reception of the announcement was therefore quite positive on social media Fortnite players can probably expect the Emote to be used quite a bit as a result. Given the huge role that dance has played in the game since its inception, the only surprise is that it took a long time to finally see Gangnam Style make the game! Although the heat around the dance has diminished a bit over the years, it remains a staple of weddings, dances and more.
At the very least, the Emote should be a little less controversial than the recent Cyberdyne Salute Emote. The official Fortnite a website incorrectly told players that the Emote would be offered along with the recent addition of the T-800 sheet of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The skin is meant to evoke the last moments of the T-800 in the film, and many players were apparently disappointed when they discovered that it was not offered next to the skin. As a result, Epic Games has announced that it will offer skin rewards to those interested. Fortunately, it seems that no wrong communication will take place this time!
Fortnite is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. You can see all our previous coverage of the game here.
