Following the release of Eminem skins for Fornite, American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold teases an upcoming Fornite collaboration

Following the reveal of three Fortnite Eminem skins earlier this week, A7X reveals in a teasing social media post that it is the latest musical sensation set to join the battle royale game and general social hangout simulator.

Ahsoka Tano (of Star Wars fame), Alan Wake, Jack Skellington, Michael Myers, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, Eleven from Stranger Things, and the trio of Invincible, Omni-Man, and Atom Eve have all recently been added and can now be found dropping into the Fortnite 4 Season OG map. Now, one of the best PC battle royale games is incorporating Avenged Sevenfold.

While their debut album was released in 2001, it was the 2005 album City of Evil that catapulted Avenged Sevenfold to mainstream success. The band is still going strong today, with their eighth album Life is But a Dream due out in June 2023. And now, in a not-too-cryptic social media post shared to X, the band reveals that it’s on its way to Epic’s world-beating game, with a 26-second clip of a character sweeping the floor in Fornite next to the band’s winged skull logo and the song (D)eath from their latest album playing in the background.

“…soon,” says the accompanying message. There is no set date for now, but things move quickly in the world of Fortnite, so it could be soon. I’m interested to see what we’ll get – will we see the band themselves, or will it be their music or various related accessories that lead the way? Regardless, I’m excited to check it out. It’s a strong follow-up to the new Fortnite Eminem skins, which will be released next week.
