Popular dances and music video crossovers are nothing new to Fortnite. Both Doja Cat’s Say so and Megan Thee Hings’s Wildfor example, emotions that drift into and out of the store from time to time are in play.
Now another incredibly famous song as a dance / emote comes into play, but it seems like it’s about eight years too late.

Luckily, there are no big hoops players need to jump through to get it: simply go to the Item Shop and buy it for $ 500. All in all, it’s not a bad price, especially for a dance and song that is as iconic as this.
Although the original tease from the Korean Fortnite Twitter page did not have a release date, it was virtually a forgotten conclusion that it would be available in the Item Shop soon, as the multiple sweets found evidence of it within a few hours. before it was put into use.
As for the emote itself, it’s clearly based on the iconic dance that artist PSY performs in the now infamous music video for the song, which has been viewed nearly 4 billion times and is currently one of the most watched YouTube videos of all. time.
Of course, the song also plays in the background and completes the iconic dance – although it would have been shocking if it did not have the original music.
At the end of the day, it’s a hilarious addition to the game – and although Gangnam Style is long gone, it’s still a welcome addition. I hope it stays in the store for at least a few days.
