Get ready for a full-on Femininomenon, Fortnite fans. Chappell Roan Easter eggs are appearing on the island

Saddle up, fellow Fortnite and Chappell Roan enjoyers, and get ready to hit the Pink Pony Club as the pop megastar seems to be making her way to the island. She’s rumored to be the next Fortnite Festival artist taking over the main stage quite soon.

On Jan. 22, a minor new update was released for Fortnite, adding a special room packed with Easter eggs that seem to hint at Chappell Roan. Based on files released with it, several big dataminers in the community also shared that they expect her to be the next Festival icon, allegedly set to arrive on Feb. 5 when the current Festival season ends.

The leakers who shared this information include HYPEX, Shiina, and FireMonkey on X (formerly Twitter). They’re all fairly reliable and usually end up being right, so it’s looking good for all of my fellow Midwest Princesses. The room of Easter eggs, which can be found at Battlewood Boulevard, is by far the most substantial evidence, though. This room has a dancing pink pony, a metal suit of armor, a sparkly pink microphone, and quite a few other potential Easter eggs for the pop singer.

The biggest teaser is a pink pony, which seems to be a reference to one of Chappell Roan’s biggest songs, “Pink Pony Club.” She’s also performed while riding a pink horse that looks very similar to this one. The tiny horse is even wearing a bright pink cowboy hat similar to one the star herself has worn many times. This creature is fully animated, which likely means it will eventually be added as a Sidekick you can buy and have at your side in battle.

The knight outfit Easter egg is a bit of a deeper cut, but real fans know it’s likely a nod to one of her most iconic performance looks to date. At the 2024 VMAs event, she performed “Good Luck, Babe!” while wearing a suit of armor and carrying a real crossbow in front of a flaming castle. I’m hoping this little teaser means that one of her potential Fortnite skins might be this iconic knight look, but we’ll have to wait and see.

On the balcony in front of the room, there’s a sparkly pink and black drumset next to a microphone. These items aren’t in the game yet, and match Chappell Roan’s flashy glitz and glam look perfectly, so they’ll likely be released alongside her. There’s also a princess doll wearing a blue dress on the bed, which may be a reference to her album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess.” Stars are a big motif throughout her album art and music videos, too, and there are plenty to be found around the room.

Before Sabrina Carpenter landed on the island as the season eight icon, she also got a room full of Easter eggs. It seems like Chappell Roan is getting the same treatment here, although her teasers seem even more obvious since they include several items that aren’t in the game yet.

If Chappell Roan does arrive as a Festival artist, we can expect to see quite a collection of new items themed around her. This includes at least two Outfits, likely several Jam Tracks, like “HOT TO GO!” and “Pink Pony Club,” Emotes featuring some of her most iconic songs, and much more.

At the time of writing, Chappell Roan’s arrival is only based on leaks, speculation, and the Easter eggs you can see for yourself on the island. We’ll likely get an official announcement from Fortnite sometime in the next week or so, though, so it shouldn’t be long before the Femininomenon actually takes over.

The finale in the Woolhaven DLC of Cult in the Lamb requires you to make a hard decision about whether you want to embrace the Rot or purge it for once and all.

The ultimate decision has to be made by you, which will also decide the final outcome. This guide will provide you with information about both outcomes so that you can be well-informed when the time comes.

What happens if you embrace the Rot in Cult of the Lamb

To reach the point where you have to decide, you’ll need to clear most of the Woolhaven content. Once you return Sariel’s spirit to Woolhaven, you’ll have completed filling all the graves around Yngya. The first choice is to embrace the Rot.

If you choose to go for this outcome, you’ll gain Faith daily if there’s a Rotten Follower in your cult. Rotten followers are similar to normal ones, but they survive for longer periods. The number of Rotten followers you have doesn’t matter; having one is sufficient.

What happens if you purge the Rot in Cult of the Lamb

If you choose to go with this outcome, you’ll gain Faith whenever a Rotten follower gets killed.

There’s no wrong decision, and you can continue your playthrough irrespective of whether you embrace or purge the Rot. However, I personally went with embracing it for two simple reasons.

• Rotten followers don’t consume any resources, which is extremely useful. If they die, you get Rotburn, which is immensely helpful to keep your base warm during the winters.
• Rotten followers are a core part of the new Woolhaven DLC. Lore-wise, keeping them alive made sense to me. Garnering sufficient Faith at the endgame stage has never been an issue, either in the base version or in the expansion.
