FIFA 19 could see Fortnite emotes added for the sake of authenticity

Fortnite is a cultural phenomenon right now. References to the game are popping up all over, including in the world of professional soccer. We've shared footage of some Fortnite-playing Soccer stars reenacting Fortnite emotes after they score a goal. Turns out EA has been paying attention to those dances as well. With real-life players copying Fortnite emotes, could we actually see those emotes appear in FIFA 19? Here's what FIFA creative director Matt Prior had to say in a Eurogamer interview.

"We pride ourselves on authenticity so if it's something you see in the real world, if a player - Griezmann, Dele Alli, those guys generally tend to do that - if it's something they do, then it's something we would potentially look to emulate. At the end of the day, if you watch a game and you see something in the real world game, we want that reflected in our own title. So there is potential."
