Epic is ready to party hearty in mid-June with a "celebrity NBA-style 'Party Royale'" event that will see 50 celebrities and 50 pro gamers go head to head in Fortnite during E3. The announcement was made on the Fortnite site with the promise of more details to come soon.
Join us this E3 for the ultimate Fortnite Party Royale, pairing some of the world’s greatest athletes and entertainers with top Fortnite Battle Royale players from across the globe.

Doubtless the event will build on the massive success of Drake's appearance in Fortnite alongside Twitch streamer "Ninja" that netted a new single-streamer concurrent viewer record of over 600,000.
