Juice WRLD Is Getting His Own Fortnite Island And Xbox Controllers

Although rapper Jarad Anthony Higgins--who was better known as Juice WRLD--passed away in 2019, he'll be a featured performer at the Fortnite Remix Finale Event this weekend. Players can log into Fortnite this week and receive a free cel-shaded Juice WRLD skin the next time they return to the game. In addition to that in-game outfit and the finale event, the late musical artist is also getting his own Fortnite island via Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

Interscope Records, the Juice WRLD estate, and others collaborated to create the island to coincide with the rapper's final posthumous release, The Party Never Ends. The landscape of the island is built around a platform that leads players on a race to the top of a tower. If players need to rest before heading to the top, they can stop at the Xbox lounge and listen to some of Juice WRLD's previously unreleased music. There will also be other Juice WRLD-themed collectibles and music throughout the island.

Juice WRLD was an avid fan of Xbox, and he is also being honored by Xbox Design Lab with two new controllers that feature imagery inspired by the late rapper. Those controllers aren't endorsed or made by Epic, but they can be found here.
