Fortnite keeps playing Eminem songs and fans think it’s a concert or skin

metro.co.uk:

One of Fortnite’s in-game radio stations is only playing Eminem songs, sparking theories of an upcoming skin or more.

The idea of a music concert being held inside a video game isn’t as crazy sounding as it may have been years ago. Fortnite alone has held several of them already, and they were the perfect virtual alternative during the peak of the global pandemic.

Not only are they incredibly popular, but they also make a lot of money from merchandising, with Travis Scott and Ariana Grande believed to have made at least $20 million from their respective Fortnite concerts.

It’s understandable then, why Fortnite fans believe another one of these concerts is in the works; one featuring rapper Eminem.

As pointed out by several players on social media, this is because Fortnite’s in-game Icon Radio station is playing nothing but Eminem songs.

Said radio station was added to the game as part of the Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak collaboration, and originally played songs from a variety of artists.

There’s so far nothing to indicate that this is a bug and while Epic Games hasn’t announced anything, it must be planning something involving Eminem if it’s only playing his music at the moment.

If an Eminem concert is coming to the game, you can likely expect all manner of themed cosmetics, including a skin of the rapper himself so you can have him get into ridiculous gunfights with Darth Vader and Naruto.

You probably shouldn’t expect a formal reveal from Epic Games or Eminem any time soon though, since most of the attention is on the upcoming Dragon Ball Z crossover.

While evidence of it leaked last month, the official Fortnite Twitter posted a teaser last week, with a proper announcement expected to take place on Tuesday, August 16.
