According to Comicbook, it did not disclose whether or not the said concert will be on the same level as what the game did when rapper Travis Scott headlined an in-game concert last April 2020. The said concert, according to The Verge, was surreal and larger than life thanks to its visuals.
Before this, EDM producer Marshmello also had a concert in Fortnite celebrating his appearance in the game as its new character skin that time.
As for Grande, her rumored appearance in the shooting game is not the first time the pop star appeared in a game. Last 2017, Grande appeared as a cameo character in the smartphone game Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius as a playable character named DW, who bears likeness to the singer, complete with her signature bunny ears.
Fortnite is not new to superstars who became character skins after crossing to their realm. Recently, NBA superstar, LeBron James, appeared in the game as a playable skin complete with three outfit sets and in-game items themed after James.

This is not the first time the game had a visitor from DC Comics. Last April, Epic Games announced the crossover between Fortnite and Batman with the launch of "Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point." In lieu with the said release, the game also launched in-game items, including the Batman Zero character skin.
Also, according to the same post, Epic Games are rumored to be trying to get the anime series Naruto for the game as part of a rumored new content for a Battlepass for a possible upcoming Season 8. This might include an explosive kunai weapon.
Other possible updates include a returning The Cube, or "Kevin the Cube" by the Fortnite community, which was first introduced in Season 5.
According to subpost, the said entity will appear at the end of Season 7, and it might be involved in the storyline of the incoming Chapter 3, according to Express.
Speaking of the possible Chapter 3, another rumor that is in the subpost regarding it is a possible redesigning of the map in preparation, along with the revealing of the location of the game's mysterious organization, The Seven.
Chapter 2 - Season 8 is also rumored to have a game mode called "The Sideways," which was described by the subpost to have spawned monsters that needs to be exterminated in the game.
Lastly, mountable and ridable monsters and mechs are rumored to appear in the game but probably not in the current season.
According to the subpost, these info from a Fortnite leaker are those that are in development and are subject to change, but they will update said post once they have more details coming from said data miners.
