Juice WRLD to Headline Upcoming Fortnite Event

Epic Games has announced that Juice WRLD will posthumously appear in Fortnite‘s end-of-season event titled «Fortnite Remix: The Finale.» The event is scheduled at 7 pm GMT / 2 pm EST / 11 am PST on November 30. According to Epic Games, Juice WRLD will headline this major event, creating anticipation among fans of both the late rapper and Fortnite.

The «Fortnite Remix Chapter 2» has successfully blended nostalgia with new content, leading to an engaging season for players. A unique aspect of this season is the appearance of well-known rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Spice, who have been integrated into the game as non-playable characters (NPCs) and featured in various points of interest. Juice WRLD is next in line, expected to have his own landmark takeover, named «WRLD Point,» and appear as an NPC issuing exclusive in-game items.

Leaks suggest that the event might feature a new Juice WRLD song titled “Empty Out Your Pockets,” with prominent Fortnite leakers such as @Hypex hinting at this possibility. A special Juice WRLD skin will be available to players logging in during specific times, offering them the «Slayer Juice WRLD» outfit for free. This skin is designed in a cel-shaded style, reminiscent of his appearance in the music video for the song «Righteous,» according to leaker @ShiinaBR.

In addition to the free event skin, Juice WRLD is expected to have a series of premium cosmetic items available in the Fortnite Item Shop. These items may include the main Juice WRLD character skin, a back bling, and possible enhancements for the game’s vehicles, as indicated by leaker @Wensoing. The specifics of these cosmetics, including their cost, have not yet been detailed, but it is suggested they will engage a wide range of players.

The collaboration represents another instance of Fortnite’s ongoing partnerships with high-profile artists, which have become a hallmark of its cultural influence. Previous collaborations with artists have featured dazzling in-game concerts, and the Juice WRLD event is expected to follow suit with vibrant effects and spectacular displays. Although Juice WRLD cannot participate live due to his passing in 2019, the event is expected to attract significant attention and participation from the gaming community.
