If I had told you five years ago that Eminem was coming to Fortnite, would you have believed me? No, me neither. Today it was confirmed by Epic Games and Fortnite themselves on X formally known as Twitter that Eminem is indeed coming to Fortnite and will be involved in the Fortnite OG Finale Event on December 2nd 2023 which has been confirmed as the 'Big Bang' Live Event.
The news first came to light on Tuesday 21st November 2023 after an update to Fortnite which added files to the game. Leakers have been diving in to see what they were able to find for the upcoming live event on Fortnite and to their surprise found that Eminem will be coming to the game, not only for the 'Big Band' Live Event but will also receive a skin with four variants that we know of at the moment. The variants include:

Leaked files have also shown that Eminem will be performing a live concert in-game, this concert will be in a similar fashion to previous concerts we have seen live in Fortnite such as Marshmello and Travis Scott. Once the Eminem concert ends it will be greeted with a Fortnite map change again when Chapter 5 starts. We do believe that there will be downtime before we see that new map.
The new event which will see the finale of Chapter 4 will be one of the biggest to date according to Fortnite leaker HYPEX, the filesize is said to be 1.5GB+.

Not only will we be seeing Eminem storm his way into Fortnite but the new event will also show us several new modes that are coming to Fortnite in Chapter 5, these are:
Fortnite x Lego which is expected to be released on December 7th
A Fortnite Rhythm Mode named 'Festival' which is similar to Rock Band will be coming to the game on 7th December and will include the following collaborations to start:
A lot to take in but for sure an exciting time for gamers and fans of Fortnite at the moment. Are you excited to see what The Big Bang Live Event has to bring? Are you excited for Chapter 5? I know I am.
Not too long to go now before we get to see what Epic Games has been working on which so far, is promising to be the best Live Event and new Chapter to date.
