- Lofi Girl announced a new Fortnite experience
- Players will be able to explore Lofi Girl's room and complete quests
- While not an official collaboration with Epic, it could lead to one
Fortnite continues to get unique collaborations, and while this isn't exactly official in the strict sense of the word, it's nonetheless a very exciting one as players will get a chance to explore Lofi Girl's room via Fortnite.
The official Lofi Girl account announced on social media that they have recreated the iconic room in which a student can be seen chilling and relaxing with soothing beats, a background that has accompanied millions of YouTube users on long study sessions or simply procrastinating, to the point of becoming Internet pop culture.
The experience, titled Lofi Girl Explore, will let players discover every nook and cranny of Lofi Girl's room, with quests and even unique cosmetics according to the official description of this unique Fortnite Island.
On top of that, the island will have five different radio stations with over 50 tracks to set the mood and let players truly immerse themselves in the Lofi Girl, taking procrastinating to a whole different level.
As a Fortnite player and Lofi enthusiast, I can't really say I'm disappointed with this. First of all, it's an unexpected collaboration, making it a welcomed one.
It could also lead to a potential proper crossover, especially with Fortnite Festival slowly increasing in popularity, although adapting calming usually slow-tempo songs to make them interesting for a Guitar Hero/Rockband-like gameplay could prove rather challenging.
The potential for future skins is also interesting. If you've not been keeping up with the Lofi Girl lore (which there's a lot of, mind you), a second character was introduced in April 2023 - Lofi Boy. A bundle featuring both skins or even a single cosmetic with different styles would be a perfect way to introduce the character.
If you're keen on checking out Lofi Girl's room from a different perspective, the Fortnite Island code is 6437-7858-4061. And for more content, don't forget to check out everything we know about the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. From what we've seen thus far, it's going to be one for the books.
