Welcome to Fortnite‘s Weeeeeezer Island!
Fortnite‘s latest “season” of refreshed content launched on Thursday, complete with a litany of patch notes about changes to its gameplay. But the biggest change arguably isn’t weapons, terrain, or pirate-themed outfits. The Epic Games title also snuck in a high-profile pop-culture mash-up—and thus it snuck in quite a suggestion for the series’ future.
As of press time, should you boot into the game’s “creative” mode, which allows you and online friends to play on a private server without any “battle royale” restrictions, you can choose to fly the game’s veritable “battle bus” to Weezer Island. (Yes, the chart-topping rock band whose first album came out nearly 25 years ago.)
This in-game zone works in any of the game’s versions (console, computer, and mobile), and it’s full of speakers blaring four songs from the band’s newly launched Black Album, out now on Friday, March 1. (Anyone who loaded this zone on Thursday essentially got a one-day sneak preview of the songs, which are not complete versions.)
