Now, Fortnite has confirmed that Eminem will appear during The Big Bang event on December 2 at 11:30 pm ET. During the event, players will be able to watch the show and engage in special activities with their friends. Gamers will also be able to purchase Eminem skins, starting on November 29. Three skins of the popular artist will be available: Rap Boy, Slim Shady, and Marshall Never More, and will come with matching accessories. Players who acquire the Marshall Never More Outfit and attend the event will also unlock a unique style for the skin, regardless of whether they buy it before or after The Big Bang.

When is Eminem Coming to Fortnite?

• All three Eminem skins (Rap Boy, Slim Shady, and Marshall Never More) will be available for sale starting on November 29, 7 pm ET.
• Eminem’s appearance at The Big Bang event will happen on December 2 at 11:30 pm ET.

While most of the previous rumors were concerning Eminem’s appearance in the game, that’s likely not everything that the big event will have to offer. Several new modes have been hinted at by leakers, including Rocket Racing Mode and Festival Mode, which is rumored to feature famous artists like Lady Gaga, Alice Cooper, and Linkin Park.

Also, LEGO recently teased a crossover with Fortnite. Known leakers such as HYPEX have claimed that LEGO will also be featured in the event. Other leaks, however, point out December 7 as the date for the LEGO-Fortnite collaboration, so it remains to be seen when it’ll actually happen.

Not everything in Fortnite has been so festive recently, despite all the hype regarding the upcoming event and Fortnite Season OG. Recently, Fortnite rolled back its age restriction policies after a huge backlash from the community. Initially, Epic Games restricted the use of some skins in Creative Mode, but the company’s enforcement of the new rules was not very consistent. For example, harmless skins like Agent Peely were affected by the new policies, but others such as the horror character Michael Myers were not. This prompted several players to ask for refunds, as they could not use skins they paid for, and Epic had to eventually go back on its decision.
