Gaming fans are gearing up for an "unforgettable" event in Fortnite as Epic Games confirms a special performance by none other than Eminem. The Big Bang event, set to take place on December 2, promises to evolve the game and potentially mark the transition into a new chapter for Fortnite.

Players can look forward to the Big Bang event starting at 11am PT, with the experience opening in the Discover section of Fortnite 30 minutes prior. Teams of up to four can participate, but there's a warning for photosensitivity and seizures due to potentially flashing lights.

In the lead-up to the event, Epic Games has introduced multiple Eminem-inspired skins that players can purchase, including Rap Boy, Marshall Never More, and Slim Shady, drawing from various eras of the rapper's career. Players who own the Marshall Never More skin and watch the event will be treated to a special Marshall Magma variant. The new skins will be available in-game starting November 27.

The event follows the significant OG Update, which saw record-breaking player numbers and is expected to feature an attention-grabbing conclusion. However, this comes after some controversy with Epic Games temporarily implementing and then disabling age-restricted cosmetics, an update that faced criticism from the community.

This Fortnite event continues the trend of blending popular culture with gaming, as virtual concerts within the game have become a notable attraction in recent years. With Eminem's inclusion, the Big Bang event is positioned to be a major draw for both gaming enthusiasts and music fans.

As one of the most popular battle royale games, Fortnite remains at the forefront of innovative in-game experiences, and the collaboration with Eminem is sure to add an exciting new layer to its evolving universe.
