As it has done each December for the past three years, Fortnite is about to usher in a whole new chapter with a whole new battle royale map, a new loot pool, and piles of new collaborations. But before Chapter 6 can begin, we have to bring the current chapter to a close with a live event on November 30. And this one looks like it’ll be a doozy, with a massive concert featuring Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD, as well as a slate of new cosmetics paying tribute to the late rapper–including a free skin that anyone can get just for logging in.
As has been the case with the finales for past chapters, this live event will occur on a Saturday, followed by downtime and maintenance in the evening and a new chapter launch on Sunday morning. The Remix Finale is scheduled for 2 pm ET / 11 am PT on November 30, with a possible encore after. And unlike the last few events, the Remix Finale will not take place during rounds of battle royale–it will actually have its own separate playlist this time, which will be easily findable at the top of the Discover feed in the lobby.
We don’t know everything these artists and Epic have in store for us, but we know we’ll be getting performances of two new songs–Snoop’s Another Part of Me featuring Sting, and Juice WRLD’s Empty Out Your Pockets. But that will hardly be the end of it, since Ice Spice and Eminem are also involved.
Since this is a live event, it will begin at the scheduled time whether you’re there or not, so it’s best to get in early in case there are login queues–and it’s pretty likely that there will be. Fortnite will not go offline immediately after the event ends–downtime is scheduled for 10 pm ET, eight hours after the event. There may be an encore performance or two of the Remix Finale during that interval.
Along with the event itself, Juice WRLD is receiving a full slate of cosmetics, including two skins, multiple emotes and jam tracks, and a keytar. One of the skins, the cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD, will be granted for free to anyone who logs into Fortnite between November 25 and when the game goes offline on November 30.
The rest of the Juice WRLD cosmetics, including a reactive skin and a contrail that plays music, a la Metallica’s Ride the Lightning contrail from this summer, will be purchasable from the item shop starting November 27.
