Eminem, the legendary rapper, is coming to Fortnite
Epic Games has confirmed that Eminem, the rapper, producer, and actor, will appear in the battle royale game Fortnite. Epic announced on social media that, as rumored, Eminem will play a role in the upcoming Big Bang event, and that new Eminem skins will also be released, according to a new leak.
The Big Bang, as it is known, aims to provide a “new beginning” for Fortnite. Eminem also tweeted about the upcoming event, which starts on December 2, with a video of his song “Tone Deaf,” specifically the line “At the crib, playin’ Fortnite with your grandma.”
Promo art for the upcoming Eminem x Fortnite event has leaked online, showing three different versions of Eminem that may be coming to Fortnite as part of the event. According to the leak, Eminem will have several in-game outfits available starting November 29, just before The Big Bang Theory releases.
In addition to a collaboration with Eminem, the Big Bang update in Fortnite is said to have some sort of Lego connection. As a teaser, the official Lego account posted a Lego Fortnite llama. There is no word on what else the Big Bang could include.
Although no official word has been released, the current Fortnite season is expected to end soon. Chapter 5 is widely anticipated.
As part of a throwback event, Fortnite recently reverted to the original Fortnite map. This was hugely popular, propelling Fortnite to its highest player numbers ever.
