There is a long list of Fortnite collabs, with a varying cast of celebrities and TV show characters to choose from. Epic Games’ battle royale even dabbled in sports-themed collabs and introduced partnerships with musicians along the way.

Artists like The Kid Laroi and Travis Scott have blessed Fortnite’s virtual landscape with performances for die-hard fans, and now Juice WRLD’s name is potentially the next in line.

Fortnite is heading back to its roots in the Season OG shift. In the trailer, gamers can hear the late Juice WRLD’s Lucid Dreams as the backing track in the next season’s trailer, and it’s convinced fans a collab will happen in one form or another

This song is likely meant to give fans a splash of nostalgia. Lucid Dreams was released on July 1, 2017, with Fortnite arriving 20 days later.

With Fortnite bringing back old memories in the form of maps and locations, fans are clinging to the idea we might see the collab players and websites have been hyping for years.

Is Juice WRLD coming to Fortnite?

At the moment according to leaks, there is no Juice WRLD concert coming to Fortnite. Sources close to Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR on Twitter claim there is no collab beyond what’s already transpired.

Let’s also remember, that Epic Games hasn’t revealed whether Juice WRLD’s estate would be willing to collaborate with Fortnite further than the use of his song during the Season OG trailer. But we only have one day left until Season OG begins, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

It seems using Juice WRLD’s Lucid Dreams in the Fortnite Season OG trailer is more than enough to get fans clamoring again.

This potential collaboration has been begged for by Fortnite fans for years. Whether Fortnite Season OG will finally bring it together, will be seen tomorrow.
