Fortnite is gearing up for another monumental event as we reported previously. Now it is confirmed that the legendary hip-hop icon, Eminem is coming to Fortnite for an in-game concert.
Scheduled for December 2, 2023, Eminem’s concert, part of the Fortnite OG season finale, is aptly named “The Big Bang” and is set to be the largest event in Fortnite’s history.
How to Watch Eminem’s Concert in Fortnite?
To join in the excitement, players need to queue via the Fortnite menu before the concert’s commencement. The concert is all set to begin at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT/7 p.m. GMT on December 2, 2023. Once in the queue, players will be directed to a pre-game lobby where they can await the start of the show.
Fortnite enhances the concert-going experience by allowing players to form parties of up to four. This feature lets friends enjoy the event together, complete with a special “The Big Bang” loading screen.
Additionally, fans can access the concert through cloud streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and Amazon Luna, ensuring no one misses out on the performance regardless of their location.
The Eminem Buildup in Fortnite
In anticipation of the concert, Fortnite has been setting the stage, both literally and figuratively. Parts of the game map are being updated to show the construction of the concert stage, and Eminem’s presence is already felt in-game.
The Icon Radio playlist features ten of Eminem’s hit tracks, such as “Berzerk,” “Godzilla,” and “Not Afraid,” creating an immersive build-up to the concert. A unique message from Eminem, “You know my name. Keep it right here for more on Icon Radio. Bring on the crowd,” adds to the excitement.
Eminem’s Virtual Wardrobe
To further engage fans, Fortnite is introducing three Eminem-themed outfits and matching accessories, inspired by his iconic music videos. These outfits, named “Rap Boy,” “Slim Shady,” and “Marshall Never More,” will be available in the item shop from November 29. The “Marshall Never More” outfit even features an unlockable “Magma style,” offering players more ways to celebrate their favorite artist.
Fortnite’s Eminem concert is shaping up to be a spectacular blend of music, gaming, and community. With its innovative approach to virtual events, Fortnite continues to redefine the boundaries of gaming experiences, promising a concert that’s not just heard, but truly felt and lived.
