Just yesterday, several new emotes coming soon to Fortnite were leaked early before Epic Games had a chance for an official reveal. As is usual when a new Fortnite update drops, players immediately scoured the new game files to uncover any secrets hiding within. Looks like one of those new emotes made their debut fast, because the 'Star' item is available now!

The "be a star" definitely fits into the movie set them that has been prevalent since Season 4 hit the record-breaking online game. Some of the other emotes that have leaked, but have not yet made their way into the game officially, includes a "Take 14" emote that looks like a director's cut, as well as one that seems to be carrying on that Thanos fever! You can check all of the datamined footage of what's to come right here!
