Travis Scott Fortnite emote removed from Item Shop

Fortnite was anticipated to have a Travis Scott emote accessible for buy on Monday, but it surely seems the in-game merchandise was pulled. Writer Epic Video games did not present a motive for the transfer, which got here after eight people died at the rapper’s concert in Houston on Friday.

Fortnite data miners tweeted Sunday that Scott’s “Out West” emote could be accessible for buy on Monday within the Fortnite Merchandise Store beneath its Each day part for 500 V-Bucks, or roughly $5. On Sunday night, the Fortnite Status Twitter account stated the Each day part has been disabled and would return on the subsequent refresh, which might be Tuesday. 

Epic did not instantly reply to a request for affirmation. 

At Scott’s Astroworld Competition in Houston on Friday, a crowd surge brought about a whole bunch of accidents and eight deaths. A criminal investigation reportedly began Sunday to overview what occurred on the live performance.

Final 12 months, Fortnite hosted a virtual Travis Scott concert within the sport that had greater than 28 million viewers. The emote, pores and skin and different in-game content material had been launched throughout that occasion.
