Here comes the drop: CYRIL enters the Fornite universe with an official emote.
Announced today (March 25), the Aussie producer and DJ joins the “Icon Series” with an emote for his 2025 update of the La’s ’90s indie hit “There She Goes.”
CYRIL has forged his name as a master remixer, with a flair for turning old gold into contemporary gems.
Hailing from regional New South Wales, CYRIL (real name: Cyril Riley) landed three tracks in the top 30 of Spotify’s Australian Music Global Impact List for 2024, including the No. 1 with his remix of Disturbed’s “The Sound Of Silence,” plus a remix of “The Door” by Teddy Swims, and “Fall at Your Feet” with Dean Lewis.
His breakout 2023 single “Stumblin’ In,” which interpolates the Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman song from the late ‘70s, and was co-written and produced by another Australian, Mike Chapman, has surpassed 746 million plays on Spotify alone. The track cracked the ARIA Top 40 and was nominated for two ARIA Awards, including song of the year.
Late last year, he dropped the four-pack EP This isn’t what you think it is, including the cut “I Got Love” featuring the late Nate Dogg.
CYRIL’s Fortnite arrival closely follows the release of “That’s Her,” a collaboration with hip-hop veteran Wiz Khalifa that marks his first fresh track for 2026. With the single, reads a statement from Warner Music, the electronic music specialist hopes to expand his footprint in Europe and Australia into the North American mainstream.
A string of tour dates are booked for Continental Europe in the weeks and months ahead, including sets at Tomorrowland Winter, Luxembourg Open Air, and Tomorrowland.
The CYRIL dance emote syncs to the tempo of nearby “Jam Tracks” and let any player join in the dance. Fortnite players have until 11:00am local time this Thursday, March 26 to secure the “There She Goes” Icon Series emote, which can be used in Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite Odyssey Fortnite Festival and LEGO Fortnite Brick Life.
