After numerous leaks and rumors, it has finally been confirmed. Eminem, one of the most popular rappers from the ’90s and 2000s, will arrive in Fortnite as the grand finale of Chapter 4. As confirmed by Epic Games, Eminem will appear live during the finale, and players will be able to acquire a series of skins inspired by the rapper.
Season 5 of Chapter 4 in Fortnite brought us back to the original Fortnite map, garnering immense success among fans primarily due to the nostalgia and fond memories it evokes. To conclude the chapter, Epic Games announced a final event called “The Big Bang,“ set to commence on December 2 at 8:00 PM (Spanish Peninsula time).
According to an update on Fortnite’s page about this event, the developers say, “Don’t miss Eminem… being Eminem!” during the event. Fortnite states that this event, marking the end of Chapter 4, will be “a new beginning” for the game, hinting at a new island to be revealed.
Eminem fans will be able to purchase three skins in the Fortnite store starting from November 30 at 1 AM: Rapper, Slim Shady, and His Name Was Marshall. Additionally, players attending the event will have the chance to unlock the Big Bang loading screen and the Magma Marshall style for the His Name Was Marshall skin, giving Eminem fiery skin and glowing eyes.
This isn’t the first musical collaboration in Fortnite. In 2020, artist Travis Scott held a concert in the game attended by a whopping 12 million people. Considering the enormous popularity of Chapter 4 among Fortnite players, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that Eminem might surpass this number within a week.
