Lisa is the first K-pop Fortnite Festival headliner.
Her collaboration includes outfits and hit songs.
She also shines on Vogue Korea's cover.

In a massive move that bridges the worlds of K-pop and gaming, BLACKPINK's Lisa has officially been confirmed as the first K-pop artist ever to headline a Fortnite Festival. The announcement came directly from Fortnite's official social media channels.

"She’s a Rockstar taking on a new stage… Welcome global superstar LISA to Fortnite! Coming November 29," Fortnite Festival revealed.

This confirmation sets a new historic precedent for the genre's global infiltration. For the uninitiated, Fortnite is a colossal cultural phenomenon, much more than just a battle royale game. Developed by Epic Games, it's a sprawling digital metaverse where players can socialize, create, and engage in various modes. 

One of these modes is the Fortnite Festival, a rhythm-based game experience reminiscent of Rock Band or Guitar Hero, where players can perform songs using note charts. Each season of the Festival features a headlining "Icon," and for its 12th season, that spotlight belongs entirely to Lisa.

The Lisa x Fortnite Collaboration: Outfits, Tracks, and Details

This collaboration is a comprehensive celebration of Lisa's solo artistry, primarily drawing from her hit debut album "Alter Ego." The centerpiece is the Starlux Music Pass, which is packed with Lisa-themed cosmetics. By purchasing the pass, players automatically unlock the "Melodie Mars" Outfit, designed to complement the "Hollow Diffusion" Guitar accessory. The ultimate reward for progressing through the pass is the highly coveted "Rockstar" Outfit, which perfectly replicates the iconic black dress and hat from her "Rockstar" music video, complete with an unlockable "Rockstar" microphone.

This microphone isn't just for show, it syncs up with specific freestyle tracks in the game. The musical lineup is a treat for fans, featuring the explosive "FUTW (Vixi Solo Version)," along with the premium Jam Tracks "Rockstar" and "New Woman." For those who don't opt for the full pass, the in-game Item Shop will also offer a separate "LISA Outfit" inspired by her "Alter Ego" era, alongside the "Rockstar" and "New Woman" Jam Tracks for individual purchase. 

With this move, Lisa joins an elite roster of musical giants who have been featured in Fortnite, including the likes of Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Daft Punk, and Sabrina Carpenter, solidifying her status in the upper echelon of global pop culture. The content goes live on November 29th and will be available for a limited time across all platforms where Fortnite is playable which is PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.

Fans Ecstatic Over Lisa's Latest Metaverse Conquest

The announcement sent the fandom, known as Blinks and Lilies, into an immediate and predictable frenzy. Across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), fans flooded timelines with their excitement, expressing how they simply cannot wait for November 29th. 

The comment sections were filled with a mix of proud declarations of her groundbreaking achievement and sheer impatience to play her songs and use her in-game avatar. This collaboration is seen not just as a gaming event, but as a monumental moment of recognition for K-pop on a global gaming stage.

"FORTNITE X LISA. she never fails to bring something new to the table."

"LISA might have 2 of the coolest fortnite skins EVER."

Beyond the digital realm of Fortnite, Lisa is also continuing her dominance in the fashion world. In a separate but equally dazzling piece of news, she is gracing the cover of Vogue Korea's December 2025 special issue, a prestigious edition dedicated to the luxury brand Bulgari. For the photoshoot, the Thai superstar showcased a more ethereal and glamorous side. With soft, light makeup and her hair styled in glamorous waves of light brown, Lisa looked breathtakingly beautiful and charismatic. 

Each shot radiates an unwavering confidence and a poised elegance that further cements her status not just as a global pop icon, but as a bona fide haute couture muse and a defining face of luxury fashion. It’s clear that whether in a virtual concert or on the cover of a top-tier fashion magazine, Lisa is a rockstar in every sense of the word.
