Fortnite x Juice WRLD collaboration comes with free skin and live event

Epic Games launched a brand new trailer during the Fortnite Remix live event, which revealed what players can expect from the new throwback season. Although we already knew that Fortnite Remix would be a Fortnite OG-style season celebrating Chapter 2 of the game, with returning POIs, items and skins coming to the game.

However, this also revealed an additional layer to the season, namely that it focuses on rappers. Namely the return of Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice and Eminem, who have skins, POIs and their own weapons coming to the game. However, the biggest surprise came right at the end of the trailer with the reveal that Juice WRLD will be receiving a Fortnite skin.

But unlike the other artist skins which will be paid for in the item store, Epic Games is offering the Slayer Juice WLRD Skin for free. The company agreed Fortnite blog“To honor Juice’s legacy and love of Fortnite, all players who log in between 1am ET on November 30th and 1am ET on December 1st will receive the cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD Outfit.”

Epic Games also confirmed that at the end of Fortnite Remix there will be a Live Event entitled Remix Finale, which will pay tribute to Juice WRLD as well as start Fortnite Chapter 6. This marks the second collaboration with Juice WRLD as Fortnite Festival received his songs’ Lucid Dreams’ and ‘Come & Go’ earlier this year. Fortnite Festival Season 6 will also feature his song Robbery as part of the Snoop Dogg Music Pass.

Juice WRLD sadly passed away in 2019, but in a press release his mother Carmela Wallace said: “Jarad has always loved playing Fortnite – it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others. From a young age, video games were part of how he bonded with friends and family, and being in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection, I know he’d be thrilled to see how his love for gaming continues to bring people together across different spaces, just like his music does.”
