Epic Games has released Chapter 2: Fortnite , which brings a series of new features to the game. The new update features a redesigned map and the inclusion of music celebrities, such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice and Juice WRLD, who arrive in the game with special events and exclusive items. Players will have the opportunity to explore locations inspired by the artists and obtain unique items by facing them.
In the first week, rapper Snoop Dogg takes over a strategic point on the island, “Snoop’s Kennel”. Anyone who challenges the musician will be able to win the Mythical Drum Machine Gun and unlock the “Snoop LBC '93” costume, which will also be available in the official Fortnite in the coming weeks. Additionally, upcoming weekly events will feature other music icons in themed locations, with new rewards.
Fortnite brings Eminem in an inspired environment
On November 7th, it will be Eminem's turn to be present in Fortnite . The American rapper will be in an area called “Gruta”, transformed into the “Mom's Spaghetti” restaurant, a reference to one of his best-known songs. Whoever defeats Eminem in this themed zone will win the Rap God's Mythical Minigun and can add the character to their team. In addition, the game's virtual store will make available the “Rap Boy” costume, inspired by the artist's style.
With the strategy of updating the game weekly, Epic Games keeps players engaged with new challenges and rewards. Fortnite Chapter 2: Remix allows the return of classic characters, such as Miaudas and TNTina, each with special weapons available when defeated.
Ice Spice and Juice WRLD will have special appearances in the game
On November 14th, rapper Ice Spice takes control of Ilha do Tubarão, now renamed “Ilha da Ice”. Whoever faces the artist will be able to win the Mythical Desempuxadora and the Ice Spice Rifle, in addition to unlocking unique costumes, such as the “Rap Princess”. Thus, these new additions increase the customization potential for players, maintaining interest in the game.
The month ends with a tribute to rapper Juice WRLD, which will be featured from November 21st. To mark the occasion, Fortnite will hold a live event called Remix: Final Act on November 30th at 4pm (Brasília time). Players who log in between 3am on December 30th and 3am on December 1st will receive the “Juice WRLD Slayer” outfit for free, which will also be available for purchase in the store at a later date.
Classics return to Fortnite along with new cosmetics
Chapter 2: Remix also brings back to the game classic items and weapons, taken from the vault to enrich the gameplay. Among the highlights are the Double Pistol, the Tactical Shotgun and the Hunting Rifle. However, these items will be available at different times, with some returning for a limited time and others for the entire season.
Another new feature is the launch of a new cosmetic item: Shoes, which will be available from November 12th. Brands like Nike and Jordan have signed some of the models, and more than 500 popular Fortnite can be equipped with them. Additionally, the Remix Pass, which costs 950 V-Bucks (the game's virtual currency), offers more than 70 rewards, including new Shoes, and guarantees up to 1,000 V-Bucks for players who complete all challenges within four weeks.
Expectation for the Remix Pass and exclusive rewards
Epic Games invests in partnerships and regular updates to keep Fortnite one of the most popular games in the world. The Remix Pass, which contains most of the season's new features, offers varied content and promotes interaction between players and pop culture icons. The expectation is that player engagement will increase with the launch of new events and the arrival of important figures in the music scene.
