It’s official: KPop Demon Hunters is coming to Fortnite. On Monday, Epic Games teased the arrival of KPop Demon Hunters in its battle royale via singer Rei Ami, who provides the singing voice for Zoey in Sony and Netflix’s animated movie about a trio of demon-slaying K-pop stars fending off an otherworldly invasion.
Huntrix’s Rumi, Mira, and Zoey from KPop Demon Hunters will arrive in Fortnite on Oct. 2. The trio will star in Demon Rush, a themed version of the game’s Horde Rush mode. Naturally, players will also be able to purchase skins for Rumi, Mira, and Zoey through the Fortnite shop.
Ami posted a sneak peek at Zoey from Huntrix’s skin on TikTok and Instagram, as part of a response to the official Fortnite accounts.
On Tuesday, Epic released the first look at Rumi’s skin via IGN, which you can preview below. Unsurprisingly, the women of Huntrix are a near one-to-one recreation of their animated counterparts from the KPop Demon Hunters movie.
Given KPop Demon Hunters‘ popularity, it was practically a given that Epic Games would want to include the members of Huntrix in Fortnite. KPop Demon Hunters is Netflix’s most-watched original movie of all time, and a theatrical success for the streamer, thanks to sing-along screenings of the film. More KPop Demon Hunters is on the way.
It doesn’t look like the Saja Boys will get skins too (what’s really important is that they do right by Derpy and Sussie), but with KPop Demon Hunters‘ popularity and staying power, anything is possible.
The arrival of Demon Rush (and Huntrix) heralds the Halloween-themed Fortnitemares, which will also bring characters like Scream’s Ghostface, Friday the 13th’s Jason Vorhees, the Scooby Doo gang, and Terrifier’s Art the Clown to Fortnite. Oh, and Doja Cat’s coming too.
