An emote in Fortnite featuring Travis Scott has been removed from today’s item shop as an investigation into a tragedy at the rapper’s Astroworld festivalm, in which eight people died, continues.
As per Eurogamer, Epic Games has removed the Out West emote (which features a sample the musician’s music) alongside all other items in the shop’s Daily section. The shop is set to return tomorrow, but it’s likely that the Travis Scott emote will be gone for a while to come.
Epic’s Twitter account dedicated to updating players on the status of the game has acknowledged the daily shop’s removal, though it’s not made the direct link to the events at Astroworld.
