Bruno Mars Gets His Own Fortnite Emote
Fortnite is getting a new emote based on Bruno Mars' new song "Leave the Door Open" in the near future, according to the artist himself.
Fortnite is known for including songs and emotes from real artists. Many celebrities such as DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa and many more have included their songs as emotes in the game and it looks like a new song will be coming in the very near future. On April 2, 2021, Bruno Mars tweeted a dance video to the new song Leave the Door Open, which was released at the beginning of the month as part of Silk Sonic. The tweet also tagged the official Fortnite Twitter account and showed the skin of Eight dancing with him.

Not long after, well-known Fortnite insiders including HYPEX and ShiinaBR deciphered the actual in-game emote, confirming that it will be available in the item store at some point in the near future as part of the Icon series.
As for the design of the emote, it seems like a rather simplistic dance, but most people will buy it to play a song while wandering around the island.
When will the Leave the Door Open Emote be released?

According to Silk Sonic's official tweet, the Leave the Door Open emote will be added to the Fortnite Item Shop on April 2, 2021, which makes sense after it's been leaked.
In terms of price, most emotes are anywhere from 200 to 500 V-bucks, and the new Bruno Mars will likely follow the traditional pattern, although there's technically no way to know for sure until it's actually added to the store.
