The debut for Fortnite Ariana Grande Rift Tour, which stars Ariana Grande, has been made and fans are
eligible to see the replay over the week at select timings. The performance of Grande was surely a
highlight feature but the complete in-game events were also special. A player can go through a space
time-hopping journey through Fortnite's illustrious history.
An initial glance will show players dancing and emoted atop but there is something lurking ahead. Players
will be able to see the party-themed Abductor hovering over The Aftermath. The countdown timer ticked
away to zero and just at that moment, there came a big revelation. It is in the form of a large Rift door
right at the center of the Abductor. As a player, one can jump into it and it takes participants on an
expedition, which showcases the past performances of Fortnite. One of the highlight features is
Marshmello, and someone who has jumped in can also revisit past story-heavy scenes like Kevin The
Cube and The Devourer. One also runs into an aerial combat mini-game that kept score.
The entire lobby defeated the last big bad and landed back in a black void. This is just the moment they
had laid the carpet for the main act of the show. It is precisely the moment Ariana Grande hits the virtual
stage like a shooting star. She came with the best high notes of both worlds. She was a massive avatar and
as she opened up the seven rings players floated around her.
Her entry was grand and she then goes on to play segments of her other hits. These include Positions, Be
Alright, and The Way featuring her ex-partner, the late Mac Miller. It was a unique experience as Grande
smashes her diamond-encrusted pickaxe and blasts the audience into varied realms. There were varied
scenes and one of them was special. It featured pink, fluffy trees and looked straight out of a Seuss story.
Another important scene was about players racing up Escher-like staircases as they moved and twisted
unpredictably. We judged that Epic Games has looked to up the ante after a long time.
It will be interesting and one can watch it as the show will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One,
Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and Android. You will need to set off into the Rift Tour playlist using
your favorite character’s skin. They will be integrated into the show in some fun ways. It should be
exciting and one must not miss out.
