The Fortnite universe expanded with a major update that introduced several new game modes after a global event reshaped the island. In one of the inaugural events, a virtual Eminem took the stage, marking a landmark moment in live in-game performances according to reports from the DTF portal.
The debut mode, Lego Fortnite, presents a survival experience crafted in a Lego-inspired aesthetic. This mode is set to launch on December 7 and promises a playful yet challenging take on the battle royale formula, blending blocky visuals with tense, resource-driven gameplay.
The second addition, Rocket Racing, offers an arcade-style driving experience inside Fortnite. Developed by the team behind Rocket League, this mode adds high-speed competition and spectacular stunts, with a broadcast planned for December 8.
Another notable feature is Fortnite Festival, a concert-oriented mode where players engage with rhythms and perform button presses in time with the music. Eminem previously showcased this mode by performing Lose Yourself and Godzilla, giving fans a taste of how music and gameplay collide. The Weeknd is slated to appear as the next guest star in a December 9 event, continuing the trend of music-driven content.
The fifth season of the core Battle Royale experience has begun, and a wave of new character skins accompanies the update. Fans can look forward to familiar faces like Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Peter Griffin from Family Guy making appearances in the game’s wardrobe, expanding the roster of playable avatars and adding fresh customization options.
Additionally, discussions circulated about online leaks that surfaced images from the GTA VI title, fueling speculation about future crossovers and content integration within Fortnite’s evolving ecosystem.
