The Weeknd is the latest artist to get in "Fortnite."

The Weeknd is easily the biggest artist in the entire world right now. Overall, it is wild to think about the moves he has made over the years. He started out as a singer from Toronto who at one time, was living on the street. However, thanks to projects like Trilogy, he was able to become a mysterious name in music. From there, he made Kissland, Beauty Behind The Madness, and a plethora of other chart-topping albums. His legend is cemented and fans are always stunned by his new joints.

He even went on a huge tour this year where he got to play in front of massive crowds. However, his biggest crowd is still yet to come. In fact, it will be here as of Saturday, December 9th when he performs in Fortnite. Eminem just performed in Fortnite for their end-of-chapter event. A new game mode has been added to the game called Fortnite Festival, and The Weeknd will be the very first performer. In the video below, you can find the trailer for the performance, which includes the song "Take My Breath."
