Epic Games Employee Debunks Fortnite X Juice WRLD Concert News

Fortnite loves a big stage. With the Season 5 updates incoming, community hype is skyrocketing. Many fans are eagerly looking forward to getting back to the OG map. Over the last few days, the devs have been teasing the triumphant return of the prodigal child and things are looking good so far. Along with that, recent events also have the community speculating about a potential Juice WRLD concert in Fortnite.

With famous musicians like Travis Scott and Ariana Grande having previously graced the popular looter-shooter, anticipation surrounding a Juice WRLD concert was also high. However, fans better hold their horses for the moment. Recent updates suggest that it might not be on the table right now.

Juice WRLD isn’t arriving just yet

The Fortnite OG map has piqued the community’s attention in recent weeks. The devs, Epic Games, sent out special packages to tease the return of the OG map and fans couldn’t believe the indications. With the return of the OG, a lot of old features are also expected to come back once again. The OG trailer was released and several accounts sharing the video with Juice WRLD music were struck down by the DMCA. Naturally, this made the community believe that a concert might be imminent for the game to show such hostility.

However, an industry insider has tipped that the late rap legend may not be appearing for a virtual concert just yet. The insider received word from an employee at Epic Games that a Juice WRLD concert isn’t on the books just yet. A Fortnite x Juice WRLD feature has been a frequently requested thing by the fans for a long time. But it’s not meant to be.

Fortnite: The boss of all collabs

Fortnite has become a benchmark in the gaming industry. Aside from its continuously updated content, the game also has collaborated with some of the biggest names from other industries as well. From DC Comics, and Star Wars to other popular franchises like Futurama, Fortnite has done it all. While fans want to see popular Nintendo characters arrive in the game, the Fortnite x Nike collab didn’t fail to make fans go haywire with its offerings.

And who could forget Travis Scott’s legendary virtual concert in Chapter 2? The stage was set over days and when the rapper finally arrived, it was magical. While seeing Juice WRLD would understandably be incredible for those of us who feel the rapper left us too soon, fans might come to terms with the reality as well.
