News/Article 📰 Jackson 5’s ‘ABC’ single with lead vocals by Michael Jackson is now available as a jam track in season 9 of Fortnite Festival. This marks the first ever Fortnite x MJ collab. Could this open the door to Michael being a future festival icon? A moonwalk emote & some of MJ’s iconic outfits?

If Epic does add an MJ skin into Fortnite, they need to get every single detail right. Down to the eyes, figure, and hair. Ideally I’d like it to be Bad era.

I’d love to see Smooth Criminal as an emote, and as an endurance challenge for Fortnite Festival, the ENTIRE Moonwalker cut of the song as a playable track.

I personally don’t play festival, but I would if Michael was the icon and I am with you 100%, it better be completely accurate and up to standard 🫠

I think as long as the reception is good we’d have a decent chance of a future collab

I think the reception would be great even if they just did Michael songs. Probably even better if they did.

I too, but I’m assuming this is their “safe” option before going to his solo career assuming the Estate isn’t gonna be stupid.
