Everything included in the Lil Wayne x Fortnite collab.

The Lil Wayne x Fortnite collaboration goes live tomorrow (September 12). The same day, players can compete in the Weezy Icon Cup in either Solo Battle Royale or Solo Zero Build.

The current headline act of Fortnite’s dedicated rhythm game Festival is rapper Lil Tecca. “I’m always trying to get new fans and introduce people to what might be their new favourite artist, so this is a great opportunity [to do that],” he told NME recently.

In other news, the latest Just Dance game Decades Of Hits is out this October but will only feature 35 tracks at launch.
