Fortnite, the popular battle royale game, recreated the O2 London Arena in its virtual world ahead of the Easy Life in-game rock concert. The concert will be the culmination of a week's worth of festivities that include exploration of the venue as well as numerous new challenges and minigames. The Easy Life virtual concert will consist of a set of six songs from the band's debut album with each song accompanied by its own immersive virtual environment.
The Easy Life concert will take place within the Fortnite Creative mode within which the recreated O2 London Arena was constructed. The performance will be the first to ever take place in the game mode. The Easy Life concert is set for June 24 at 3:30 PM ET. Fortnite players can gain access to the venue by entering a portal in the Welcome Hub or inputting a Creative Island code.
