No, you didn’t read that headline wrong at all. Yes, the simulation is getting a bit bonkers. Fortnite is really partnering with TIME to bring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. into the game. It’s, uh, pretty wild to say the least.
They’re calling the event a “March Through Time”, per a blog post from Playstation. Players will be able to embark on an “immersive journey” back in time to witness Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington D.C. circa 1963.

This seems, uh, pretty wild to say the least. I’m not sure anybody saw this coming from Fortnite. Ever, really. And I’ve got questions.
