The free-to-play battle royale title from Epic Games has received a new update, so the rest of us can lace up our shoes… But why?

The Fortnite Season OG broke records, but the island has been reset by Epic Games to the map seen in Chapter 2, but there will be more changes that will slowly pop up throughout the season. This is Epic Games’ way of trying to keep more players engaged for a longer period of time. The agency’s territory is now called The Doggpound, as it is the headquarters of Snoop Dogg’s company. Anyone who comes here can take him on, and the rapper may even become a comrade-in-arms. You can also get your hands on Snoop Dogg’s Drum Gun Mythic weapon.

In week two of the Fortnite Chpater 2 Remix, Eminem takes over the Grotto Cave and opens up his Mom’s Spaghetti interpretation. (The song Lose Yourself was made into a parody called Mom’s Spaghetti, so it’s a nice touch to go with the meme). If we can get Eminem on two shoulders, we’ll get his support here, too, and the Mythic RG Minigun, the rapid-fire (lyricist) weapon. During week three, Ice Spice will make it to Shark Island, which will be called Ice Island. The place turns into a rather shady shopping mall. If we beat him, we’ll have the support of the hip-hop rapper lady and the grappler gun. The finale, which begins at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on November 30th, will pay tribute to Juice Wrld. Everyone who registers between 1am on November 30th and 1am on December 1st will receive a cel-shaded Slayer Juice Wrld costume.

But the biggest kicker is that the shoes will also be transformed into cosmetic items under the name Kicks. Epic Games explained it this way: “The initial lineup of Kicks will include brands like Nike and Jordan, as well as Fortnite originals. Look for more brands to join the lineup in the future! Kicks will be compatible with over 500 of the most popular Fortnite outfits to start, with over 95% of outfits compatible by spring of next year. While there are a few outfits that are particularly challenging to style Kicks for, we’re working hard to make sure as many outfits as possible can wear a fresh pair.”

The first pair, the Nike Air Jordan Kicks, will be available in stores on November 12th.
