For a very long time, fans have hoped and seen teases of a Fortnite collaboration with Juice WRLD. Despite the late artist’s untimely death, he has released music through his estate and his manager has long teased a crossover with the hit battle royale game. His songs, both in Festival mode and in live events, have been used before, so there is a partnership there. Whether it would ever lead to a fully fleshed-out collaboration or not was never clear, but it might be a little clearer now.

Fortnite Collaboration with Juice WRLD Could Be Coming
At several points during the last few years, Juice WRLD’s manager Pete has teased a collaboration. Several years ago, the Fortnite collaboration seemed like a certainty. Now, according to HYPEX, it’s a strong rumor once again. The leaker posted that Juice WRLD’s manager has said to fans that “one of the biggest things” they’ve been asking for is coming within the next two months. He also asked fans for dances that the artist had done that could be turned into emotes.
Though Epic Games might not have planned this out, it’s better timing for any sort of artist collaboration. In the past, a few of them got live events, but others just got skins and other emotes. Usually, they’d get an Icon Series emote and that was that. Now, several artists get full collaborations through Festival with skins, emotes, cosmetics, and a lot of Jam Tracks. If Fortnite is going to collaborate with Juice WRLD, they could do it for a season of Festival mode. It would get the full treatment.
Juice WRLD’s manager did not say whether or not it would be the featured skin or not. He didn’t give very many details, instead just stirring the pot to create some excitement for something that is allegedly coming soon. However, this has been a rumor before, so it’s best to take all of this with a grain of salt until more official information is available.
