As Fortnite’s OG Chapter comes to an end, Epic Games is planning to kickstart its new beginnings with the aptly named Big Bang event.
Starting at 9 PM on the 2nd of December, the Big Bang event will be available for players to join 30 minutes early from the Battle Royale tile.

The centerstage will be taken over by none other than one of the greatest rappers of all time, Eminem, and players will be able to “watch Eminem… as Eminem”.
Fortnite will release three new skins from the Icons series on the 29th of November that will feature the main act of the Big Bang event. Rap Boy, inspired by the original Rap Boy from the infamous “Without Me” music video, Slim Shady, in his classic oversized 90s hoodie and Marshall Never More featuring Marshall in a fitted suit. Spoiler alert, Marshall Never More’s acronym is MNM.
For players that attend the Big Bang event, whether they have purchased the Marshall Never More skin before or after attending, they will receive the Marshall Magma skin style, which adds volcanic elements to the original skin.
If Eminem manages to reel in more than the 12 million players that the Travis Scott event saw back in 2020, I guess we’ll finally know that Fortnite is not as much of a kids game as we all like to think.
