Fortnite is launching a free Juice WRLD skin, his mother responds

Always wanted to play Fortnite with Juice WRLD? The game honors the late rapper and Fortnite fan (born Jarad Anthony Higgins) with a skin that will be free for a limited time. All players who log in between November 30 at 1 a.m. ET and December 1 at 1 a.m. ET will receive the “cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD Outfit” as a way to pay tribute to “Juice’s legacy and love for Fortnite” according to an official blog post. That means the skin will be available about a week after his last posthumous album, The party never endswill be released on November 22. (If you miss the window to get it for free, you can still buy it afterwards.)

The news was teased at the end of the Chapter 2 Remix trailer, which also featured appearances from Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Ice Spice. 999, a number that was important to Juice WRLD, appears on an empty chair. It also appears in clouds, along with a silhouette of its head. “Jarad always loved to play Fortnite — it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others,” his mother, Carmella Wallace, said in a statement about the collaboration, according to Sports Illustrated. “From an early age, video games were part of the way he connected with friends and family Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection. I know he would be thrilled to see how his love of games continues to bring people together in different spaces, just like his music does.”
