Fortnite’s next live music concert is Eminem, marking the rapper's first video game cameo in almost 20 years
Battle royale shooter-turned-virtual music festival Fortnite is amping up its next musical collaboration - and this time, it’s bringing rapper Eminem back to the world of the video games for the first time in years.
Fortnite is currently gearing up for its The Big Bang event, which will kick off in the game’s Battle Royale mode on Saturday December 2nd at 2pm ET/7pm GMT.
While Epic are yet to reveal exactly what’s planned, expect it to be similar to the previous appearance of rapper Travis Scott in Fortnite’s first live musical concert Astronomical back in 2020 - which was “attended” by a then-record 12 million concurrent players. Other artists including Marshmello, Major Lazer and Diplo, and Ariana Grande have performed in-game, with K-pop stars BTS and The Kid Laroi popping up in the game with emotes, skins and custom levels.
Alongside Eminem’s appearance, The Big Bang event “marks a new beginning for Fortnite” as its truncated Season OG draws to the end of its history trip back through Fortnite seasons and maps of old as it prepares for the upcoming Chapter 5.
