Fortnite users have long had concerts to attend and movies to watch as they wander around the video game through their virtual avatars. Now, they have yet another option: reliving Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech.
The new virtual experience, which launched Thursday, is called "March Through Time" and is a collaboration between Fortnite and TIME Studios, the film and television division of Time magazine. It recreates the Lincoln Memorial and National Mall where King gave his famous speech in 1963, in a virtual world that Fortnite maker Epic Games describes as a "reimagined Washigton, DC" called D.C. 63. "The experience extends with museum-inspired points of interest, and collaborative mini-game quests you complete with others," Epic Games said in a statement. "These activities progress players through the experience and bring to life important themes of Dr. King's speech: we move forward when we work together."More Related News
