Fortnite x Juice WRLD collaboration with free skin and live event

Epic Games released a brand new trailer during the Fortnite Remix live event, revealing what players can expect from the new Throwback season. While we already knew that Fortnite Remix would be a Fortnite OG-style season celebrating Chapter 2 of the game and would bring returning POIs, items, and skins to the game.

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

However, unlike the other artist skins that are paid for in the item shop, Epic Games is offering the Slayer Juice WLRD skin for free. The company said on the Fortnite blog: “To honor Juice's legacy and love for Fortnite, all players who log in between 1 a.m. ET on November 30th and 1 a.m. ET on December 1st will receive the cel-shaded Slayer.” Juice WRLD outfit.”

Epic Games also confirmed that there will be a live event at the end of Fortnite Remix called “Remix Finale” that will pay tribute to Juice WRLD and kick off Fortnite Chapter 6. This is the second collaboration with Juice WRLD as Fortnite Festival received his songs “Lucid Dreams” and “Come & Go” earlier this year. Season 6 of the Fortnite Festival 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 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 have been a part of his bond with friends and family, and participating in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection. I know he would be overjoyed to see his love of gaming continue to bring people together across different places through his music.”
