Ice Spice is the latest musical artist to take over Fortnite, with the game introducing a brand-new area inspired by the 4x Grammy nominee as part of Chapter 2 Remix's third week. Shark Island has become Ice Isle, a neon-soaked haven ripe for exploration. Additionally, Ice Spice serves as inspiration for several new weapons and items, making the latest update for Fortnite one players won't want to miss out on.
Fortnite has undergone significant changes, not only throughout its lifetime but specifically in 2024, with the incredibly popular free-to-play shooter finding itself in between its massive Marvel season and the start of its next chapter. To fill this gap, Epic Games released Fortnite Battle Royal Chapter 2 Remix, a bite-sized season of content inspired by some of the world's biggest musical artists. Players can drop into a remixed version of Fortnite's Chapter 2 map, which has received weekly drops and updates since the remix began earlier this fall. Now, the remixed Chapter 2 island is changing once again, this time with viral rap starlet Ice Spice taking over a point of interest.
Fortnite Delays the Release of Kicks Cosmetics
The Fortnite team announces a delay for the game's widely anticipated new cosmetic option, Kicks, originally slated for a November 12 drop.
As part of week 3 of Fortnite Battle Royale's Chapter 2 Remix, players are invited to visit Ice Isle, a location inspired by world-famous rap artist Ice Spice. Ice Isle takes over the spot of Shark Island, coming equipped with Y2K-inspired decorations scattered around an abandoned shopping mall. The area has an "ominous" aura, according to developer Epic Games, with the studio adding several new items to Fortnite's ever-expanding arsenal. These new items are also inspired by the rap artist and include Ice Spice's Grappler and Ice Spice's Rifle, both of which are Mythic quality.
Fortnite Gives Shark Island Ice Spice Makeover
Two new cosmetics have also been added to Fortnite's in-game item shop: the regular Ice Spice skin and the Rap Princess Ice Spice Outfit, both of which feature Benny The Jeweler's princess necklace. Ice Spice is the latest rap artist to make their way into Fortnite, with the game's Chapter 2 Remix also seeing the likes of Snoop Dog and Eminem drop in as well. Both of these rap legends got their own items and cosmetics, with Fortnite's new RG Minigun making waves earlier this month.
Week 4 of Fortnite' s Chapter 2 Remix drops on November 21 and will center around Juice WRLD, an artist who took over both the rap and pop worlds in the late 2010s. Juice WRLD had a very bright but short career, passing away in 2019. As a tribute, a free Juice WRLD skin will be added to Fortnite at the end of the game's Chapter 2 Remix, with players also soon being able to visit the new Juice WRLD's 'WRLD Point' Landmark. This all comes as Fortnite approaches its highly anticipated Chapter 6 update, which is expected to launch within the first couple of days of December. Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 2 Remix ends on November 30 at 10:00 P.M. ET.
