One of the most prominent gameplay aspects of\u00a0Fortnite<\/em><\/strong> is the usage of emotes that allow players to express themselves in\u00a0a variety of ways.\u00a0Encompassing stunts, poses, and emotive expressions, the dances are usually the emotes that receive the most attention from players in their choice of self-expression. Dances such as “Orange Justice” and “Floss”\u00a0\u2014 for which the creator of the latter has sued Epic Games<\/a> \u2014 have become iconic within modern pop culture.\u00a0Many new dances added to the game are based off those found on TikTok, with the latest emote to be added to the game following this trend.<\/p>\n

Epic Games have added the “Don’t Start Now” emote to the\u00a0Fortnite<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>Item Shop. The emote is based off English pop star Dua Lipa and her hit single of the same name, with the choreography from Australian dancer and TikToker Hannah “thexhan” Balanay. It is available now in the Item Shop for 500 V-Bucks. The in-game description for the emote directly quotes the song with “I’m better on the other side.”<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, the original upload has 6.5 million likes, 363.7 thousand shares, and 34.3 thousand comments.<\/p>\n
