Juice WRLD Might Join Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix as an NPC

Epic Games is honoring the legacy of the late rapper Jarad Anthony Higgins, widely known as Juice WRLD, in their latest installment, Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix. Although details continue to unfold, it has been confirmed that players will see his likeness represented through the Slayer Juice WRLD Outfit. Furthermore, a new in-game location dedicated to his memory will also debut soon.

As part of Week 4 of Chapter 2 Remix, players can look forward to the addition of WRLD Point, a new Point of Interest (POI). This landmark will be available until the Remix: The Finale Live Event, which is expected to prominently feature Juice WRLD, as confirmed by his manager. Additionally, a recent leak suggests that juice WLRD could be introduced in the game as a non-playable character (NPC), enhancing his tribute.

Potential Introduction of Juice WRLD as an NPC

A slip-up by Epic Games led to an early distribution of a player survey, which was subsequently shared by renowned leaker ShiinaBR. Within this survey, players were asked for feedback on an item called “Juice’s Chug Cannon,”a name that raises eyebrows for a couple of reasons. Firstly, this item has yet to appear in the game, and secondly, it is typical for weapons associated with specific characters to be classified as Mythics or Exotics.

Mythic and Exotic items are typically obtainable solely from their respective NPCs in the game. This suggests a strong possibility that Juice WRLD will be featured as an NPC within the Fortnite universe. Considering that three other artists—Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Ice Spice—are also depicted as NPCs in this season, adding Juice WRLD to this roster seems fitting.

While Epic Games has yet to officially comment on this speculation, the evidence points towards a positive outcome. NPCs typically inhabit their own Landmarks or Named Locations and are associated with unique items and weapons, further supporting this theory.

Fans of Juice WRLD would undoubtedly appreciate the opportunity to see him represented as an NPC in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, especially since he was an avid player during the original Chapter 2 release back in 2019. In any case, the introduction of the Juice WRLD Outfit, WRLD Point, and his participation in the anticipated live event will ensure that his legacy endures within the Metaverse.
