Fortnite Introduces ‘Dance with Sabrina’ Rhythm Game Mode

Fortnite‘s ongoing Sabrina Carpenter-themed Festival season is about to switch it up by inviting players to test their rhythm game skills.

Today, Epic announced the impending arrival of “Dance with Sabrina,” a new rhythm-focused gaming mode within Fortnite Festival that will run from May 30th to June 16th. Described as a “reimagined interactive music experience,” Dance with Sabrina will challenge players within the Festival Jam Stage to fill up their heart meters by matching the beat of some of Carpenter’s songs like “Espresso” and “Bed Chem” as her avatar performs them on stage.

By racking up the most hearts, Festival players will be able to “contribute to the show” during the next song in one of three roles: Dance Leader, Special Effects Pro, or Video Artist. Players who match the most beats throughout the entire event will be pictured along with Carpenter’s avatar in the Dance With Sabrina finale snapshot.

While some Just Dance-style dancing would have been an exciting addition to Fortnite, Dance with Sabrina appears to focus more on timed button mashing with some emoting for added flair. Although this may not seem like the most entertaining prospect, it reflects Epic’s approach to experimenting with different gameplay mechanics to determine what resonates with players.
