Laufey’s Fortnite takeover gets two more weeks — the ‘A Matter Of Time’ experience now runs until July 29

Epic Games has pushed back the curtain on Laufey’s Fortnite residency: the singer’s A Matter Of Time crossover will now run through July 29, giving players another two weeks inside the dreamy, jazz‑pop worlds inspired by her arena tour.

The news comes after Fortnite Festival season 14 went live on April 16, with Laufey announced as the season’s headliner. The collaboration dropped a suite of in‑game cosmetics and emotes informed by her recent tour, and several of her songs were added to the game’s soundtrack.

Inside Laufey: The Final Hour

Central to the crossover is the bespoke experience titled Laufey: The Final Hour. According to the press release, it is “a three‑act surreal fairytale set inside an enchanted castle, players journey through Laufey’s imagination, moving from a swirling hall of mirrors and crashing pirate ship room to a towering clockwork tunnel and an intimate jazz club finale.

Along the way, there are immersive performances of favourites ‘Lover Girl’ and ‘Too Little, Too Late’ as well as her new hit song ‘Madwoman’ from ‘A Matter of Time: The Final Hour’. Afterward, players can stay to socialise, uncover hidden easter eggs, and take part in Laufey‑themed trivia.

The crossover leans on theatrical staging rather than a straightforward concert clip; it’s staged like a playable short film that moves from set piece to set piece and ends in a small jazz club where fans can linger, hunt for easter eggs, and trade trivia.

Originally season 14 was due to close on July 15, but Epic confirmed the extension on May 5. The official Fortnite Festival account announced the change with a short, celebratory tweet.

A matter of… more time 🕐

For fans who spotted the collab early, the extension will be welcome — it buys more time to explore the rooms, grab the cosmetics, and catch the in‑game performances of songs like “Lover Girl,” “Too Little, Too Late,” and “Madwoman.”

“It’s a collaboration you might not expect from me,” Laufey told NME before the event went live. “When I started out, I was known as this jazz girl and people assumed I was timid and soft. Running around with a gun [in Fortnite] is absolutely the best way to show that there are so many more layers to me.”

She framed the project as an extension of the theatricality that underpins her music. “Fortnite is just so fantastical,” she continued. “It’s something that you’d never see in real life but if you closed your eyes while listening to my music, it’s the world you might dream up. It’s uber romantic and very expressionist, in a way. I want to encourage my fans to be the biggest version of themselves. Inside a video game, you’re free to be the most [authentic] version of yourself and not feel like you’re being judged.”

Players have also gravitated toward Fortnite’s newer social features: the game’s karaoke mode has produced a flurry of performance clips that have been shared widely across social platforms, adding a live, communal energy to the experience beyond the scripted walkthrough.

It’s one of several bold plays Epic has made in recent weeks: the company also rolled out a trio of new Star Wars experiences earlier this month, including a survival‑horror scenario featuring Darth Vader. And on a tangential note, the industry has been buzzing over reports that Grand Theft Auto 6 could become the most expensive video game ever made.

For now, Laufey’s castle remains open a little longer — a welcome addendum for fans who want more time inside an unexpectedly cinematic pop crossover.
