Chappell Roan may get a Fortnite skin with some Good Luck, Babe In an interview with BBC Radio 1, where Chappell Roan won BBC’s Sound of 2025 award, the pop star talks all things Fortnite - how she plays, which game mode she enjoys, and whether we’re getting more Roan-themed stuff in the game. Jack Saunders asked Chappell what video games she’s currently playing, and immediately she replied with Fortnite. She, just like the rest of us, can’t help visiting the in-game shop and revealing she got the Ariana Grande skin. Chappell then says that she’ll “use this interview” to try and get her own Fortnite skin , appealing to Epic - “please give me a skin, please”. She then says that while she’s not sure if it's out yet, Good Luck, Babe is also likely to be a little dance in the game. This may be a sneaky little reveal, or the hopes of herself and her team to get another crossover with the battle royale game . Ms. Roan already has one Fortnite dance based on the iconic Hot To Go dance, though it’s called Get H.O.T in-game, but we hope a second comes soon, as it's been 50 days since the Get H.O.T emote featured on the in-game shop.

Hearthstone’s StarCraft mini-set was almost purely cosmetic Hearthstone’s Heroes of StarCraft mini-set is a huge event for Blizzard fans, marking the first time that the developers’ sci-fi RTS has interacted with the Warcraft CCG in its ten-year history. This is also the largest companion mini-set ever released in Hearthstone, with 49 new cards to play with, including four Hero cards. While the Hearthstone team has interacted with other Blizzard products in the past, such as adding Warcraft Rumble cards to the core set and an Overwatch card back as part of the Origins Edition of the game, there has never been a crossover of this scale, and especially not with a sci-fi IP. I got the chance to chat to senior game designers, Leo Robles Gonzalez and Aleco Pors, about the experience of bringing this mini-set to life. Understandably, given both games’ storied histories and shared parent company, I wanted to know why now, rather than earlier in Hearthstone’s life, was the perfect time to finally launch a StarCraft collaboration. Sure, it makes sense to close out Hearthstone’s tenth-anniversary celebrations with a bang, but I wondered if perhaps there was something more behind the decision. After all, Blizzard’s other massive IP, Diablo, has already appeared in the mobile card game several times before, so why not the heroes of StarCraft?

It looks like Asus has plans for a new mid-range Android gaming phone Following the release of the ROG Phone 9 and 9 Pro late last year, it seems that Asus is taking a leaf out of Samsung’s book and launching a new mid-range and more affordable alternative to its flagship devices. Yes, the Asus ROG Phone 9 FE could be a reality, at least according to certification listings out of Malaysia and Thailand. For those who don’t know, the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro is one of the best gaming phones around, giving devices such as the iPhone 16 Pro Max and RedMagic 10 Pro a run for their money. While we wouldn’t expect an FE, or Fan Edition, version to be quite as powerful, we imagine it might still come with some of the same hardware and software features as the Android flagship. Hopefully, that includes the refined AirTrigger shoulder buttons we were so keen on in our Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro review.
