Eminem’s Fortnite concert teased the future of the game

fortniteEminem’s recent virtual concert was more than just Eminem wandering through a destroyed city — it also teased a number of experiences coming to the game in the future.

From there, players are taken to a number of portals, each with a different theme. First, there was an island full of Lego characters running around, fighting, and building things. Then there was the future race. Finally, Eminem appeared, and while he was performing “Lose Yourself,” players had to hit the notes in time with the music as if they were playing… Guitar hero.

Once that was over, a giant Eminem appeared, and he was basically a kaiju while performing the song “Godzilla.” The song is set over a destroyed city on fire, and at one point the rapper blows fire into the air. (In terms of concerts, Eminem’s virtual performance was the fourth major in-game music event, after Marshmello, Travis Scott, and Ariana Grande.) Then it was all over.

Given Epic’s recent push for expansion fortniteIn Creative Mode, it’s no surprise that the event is designed to reveal upcoming experiences coming to the game that aren’t just a traditional battle royale. The goal seems to be to do just that fortnite More of a platform than a game, style Maine Craft Or Roblox.

The fifth semester is expected to begin on Sunday. If you missed The Big Bang, Epic says there will be two more shows at 5pm and 11pm ET on Saturday.
