Feb. 3 (UPI) —<\/span> Fortnite<\/i> is launching a new collaboration with music duo Silk Sonic.<\/p>\n The battle royale video game shared plans Thursday for the “Icon Series” in-game skins, radio station and player tournament inspired by Silk Sonic’s Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n “Icon Radio,” a new radio station featuring tracks from Silk Sonic’s An Evening with Silk Sonic<\/i> and other songs, launched in game Thursday.

He could use the help, so I support it. And it makes me cool. Win, win,” .Paak added.\n<\/p>\n .Paak performed a “Spotlight Concert Series” in Fortnite<\/i> in September 2020, while the “Leave the Door Open” emote inspired by Mars arrived in the game in April 2021.<\/p>\n Silk Sonic released their debut studio album, An Evening with Silk Sonic<\/i>, in November.
