Early on June 17, we covered leaks that suggested R&B superstar Bruno Mars would headline Fortnite Festival Season 9 instead of Deadmau5, as initially reported. As of noon on June 17, Epic Games has confirmed this rumor, welcoming Bruno Mars back to Fortnite under different circumstances.
Epic Games has released a comprehensive blog post detailing everything players can expect in the next Festival season, which begins on June 18.
All Bruno Mars skins are coming to Fortnite in Festival Season 9
Like we covered in the story earlier this morning, Bruno Mars appeared in Fortnite alongside his Silk Sonic duo Anderson .Paak roughly four years ago. As a result, the rumors of another Bruno Mars collaboration seemed out of the blue. Regardless, that report has become a reality.

- Bruno-San Outfit with the Bruninho Style

- Floating Notes Contrail
- Bonde do Brunão Emote
- Bonde do Brunão Jam Track

Everything listed and pictured above will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop beginning on Wednesday, June 18. Although the pricing details are unclear, Epic has confirmed that all items will remain in the Shop until the conclusion of Season 9.

The fan response has been mostly negative
As expected, many players felt misdirected by the various hints and leaks surrounding Canadian DJ Deadmau5. Instead, fans have defaulted to the fact that Bruno Mars was already in Fortnite. X user SparkyVEVO said adding new artists was part of the Festival mode's charm.
Others echoed a similar sentiment, while Bruno Mars fans voiced their excitement regarding the collaboration. The partnership officially begins on June 18 and will remain in effect until the conclusion of Season 9.
