Fortnite, Ice Spice, and Snoop Dogg delivered a performance in Times Square last night, blending sound and visuals into a stunning takeover. Simultaneously, the event streamed live in Fortnite, pulling players into an immersive cityscape to experience the concert firsthand, complete with a surprise preview of Snoop’s new track, “Gorgeous,” from his upcoming album.

Snoop Dogg is appearing in real life in Times Square and inside Fortnite Battle Royale.

The event, dubbed Remix: The Prelude, kicks off a music and gaming month bridging the real world and Fortnite in the next season of Fortnite Battle Royale, Chapter 2 Remix, launching today.

Chapter 2 Remix arrives with musicians Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, bringing their fashion, music and artistry to Fortnite alongside the popular original Fortnite gameplay from 2020.

“Jarad always loved to play Fortnite – it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others. From a young age, video games were a part of how he bonded with friends and family, and being in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection. I know he would be overjoyed to see how his love for games continues to bring people together across different spaces, just like his music does,” said Carmela Wallace, mother of Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins, in a statement.

Gaming goes to Times Square in a big way with Snoop Dogg and Fortnite Battle Royale.

During this week, Snoop Dogg will enter Fortnite Battle Royale and be featured as the Icon for Season 6 of the music-driven, rhythm-based game Fortnite Festival.

“Being part of Fortnite is all about creating, playing, and sharing my music and culture with the next generation.

Anyone can be Snoop in Fortnite,” said Snoop Dogg in a statement.

During the week of November 7, Eminem will reappear following his original Fortnite debut in December 2023.

“Guess who’s back, ready for combat, man! I’m serving all new gear along with a side of spaghetti…come and get it! Feels good to return to Fortnite for more mayhem,” said Eminem, in a statement.

And during the week of November 14, Ice Spice will arrive to take you into her experience as the Princess of New York.

“Getting the chance to come to the game and remix the Chapter 2 map is unreal. It’s exciting to be a part of something so iconic, and I can’t wait for players to experience this new vibe.
