The emote makes the character dance smoothly and playfully to "Whole Lotta Choppas" by Sada Baby. Curious to see how Wanna See Me looks in action? Check out the in-game animation in the video below. Video by Destructoid Wanna See Me is returning along with other highly requested ICON Series emotes such as Rollie, Evil Plan, and Chicken Wing It, which are all parts of different collaborations between Epic Games and artists. Fortnite’s ICON Series emotes, especially those tied to music artists, tend to have limited availability due to licensing agreements. These deals often prevent Epic Games from re-releasing emotes unless they renegotiate with the original partners. This is why some emotes, like Wanna See Me, return after years of absence, while others remain missing for even longer. While Wanna See Me has become rare after this long wait of two and a half years, some players on social media were surprisingly unexcited about its return, but mostly because they'd rather see other emotes like Mine and Line Dancin'. https://twitter.com/tabirain14/status/1891276957477752988 https://twitter.com/imissgerardasf/status/1891278262401159649 Other ICON Series emotes even rarer than Wanna See Me include Head Banger from the Travis Scott set, last seen over 1,700 days ago (almost five years), and Lazer Blast, a Major Lazer dance last seen 1,345 days ago (almost four years). Whether these emotes will ever return to Fortnite remains unclear. The post Wanna See Me? Here’s Fortnite’s rare emote returning after almost 3 years appeared first on Destructoid.
