Fortnite welcomes Chapter 2 Remix with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, following a real world and in-game music event.
Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice delivered a show-stopping performance in Times Square over the weekend in a stunning takeover serving as a prelude to their splash in the new season of Fortnite Battle Royale, Chapter 2 Remix, out now. The event streamed live in Fortnite to give players an immersive experience to dive into, featuring Snoop’s new track, “Gorgeous,” from his upcoming album.
In-game, Chapter 2 Remix arrives with some heavyweight music icons: Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, bringing their fashion, music, and artistry to Fortnite alongside the popular original Fortnite gameplay from 2020. In a first for the game, players can engage with each artist through themed gameplay locations launching week by week. Players can also express themselves and rep each music legend through individual artist outfits found in the Fortnite Shop.
In Week 1, starting on November 2, Snoop Dogg enters Battle Royale and features as the Icon for Season 6 of the music-driven, rhythm-based game, Fortnite Festival. “Being part of Fortnite is all about creating, playing, and sharing my music and culture with the next generation,” says Snoop Dogg. “My son Cordell’s a big Fortnite player with me, so when we had the opportunity we jumped on it as a new way to connect with my sound and style. Anyone can be Snoop in Fortnite.”
In Week 2, starting on November 7, Eminem reappears following his original Fortnite debut in December 2023. “Guess who’s back, ready for combat, man! I’m serving all new gear along with a side of spaghetti — come and get it! Feels good to return to Fortnite for more mayhem,” says Eminem.
Week 3 kicks off on November 14, when Ice Spice arrives to take players into her experience as the Princess of New York. “Getting the chance to come to the game and remix the Chapter 2 map is unreal. It’s exciting to be a part of something so iconic, and I can’t wait for players to experience this new vibe. Fortnite is all about creativity and connection, and I’m hyped to bring my own spin to it!” shares Ice Spice.
Week 4 starts on November 21, when the legacy, music, and style of Juice WRLD is celebrated. More details are forthcoming on the celebration later this month, along with his latest posthumous album due out this year from Grade A Productions and Interscope Records.
Chapter 2 Remix will end on a special note with Remix: The Finale, a live event on November 30 at 2 PM ET, to honor Juice WRLD’s legacy and love for Fortnite. All players who log in between 1 AM ET on November 30 and 1 AM ET on December 1 will receive the cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD outfit.
Carmela Wallace, mother of Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins, shared, “Jarad always loved to play Fortnite — it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others. From a young age, video games were a part of how he bonded with friends and family, and being in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection. I know he would be overjoyed to see how his love for games continues to bring people together across different spaces, just like his music does.”
This season also introduces Kicks, a brand new cosmetic coming to Fortnite. The initial lineup of Kicks will feature Nike and Jordan brands alongside Fortnite original designs with more brands to be announced in the future. The first pair of Jordans will be available beginning on November 12 as part of the season’s Remix Pass.
Throughout the month with Chapter 2 Remix, players can experience what made the original Chapter 2 so memorable. Chapter 2 Remix comes nearly one year after the launch of Fortnite OG, where the game saw over 100 million players in that month alone. Though long-time fans’ reactions to the takeover changes have been mixed as the remix gets underway.
