According to Fortnite leaker @HYPEX, the upcoming Big Bang event will be the multiplayer game’s largest to date, weighing over 1.5 GB. In addition to providing the artwork featuring an animated version of the rapper, the leaker also claims LEGO will make an appearance, and there’ll also be a rhythm mode and racing mode.

According to @HYPEX, the rhythm mode will let you play vocals, guitar, drums, and bass. It comes December 9, and you can expect the following artists and songs to be featured:

  • Alice Cooper – ‘Poison’
  • Imagine Dragons – ‘Thunder’
  • Lady Gaga – ‘Pokerface’
  • Linkin Park – ‘Numb’
  • Toto – ‘Africa’

Another leaker, @iFireMonkey, revealed two Eminem skins. One has the rapper with his iconic blond hair, while the other has him in the suit and fedora he wears on his Music to be Murdered By album.

As for official details, all we know so far is that Epic has the event planned for Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 2 PM ET. It’ll be available in the Battle Royale tile in Discover 30 minutes prior, and it’ll support parties of up to four players. It’s being described as “a new beginning,” which may explain why Fortnite is going all-out.

For those who don’t have a dedicated gaming device, you can use NVIDIA GeForce NOW and Amazon Luna services to access the game via cloud gaming.

This won’t be the first major music event from Fortnite. Past concerts have featured artists like Travis Scott and Ariane Grande, and the experience has been an interactive one allowing you to enjoy a virtual concert from the comfort of your home.
