Pricing & Release
Like all other collabs, each skin in the line is expected to be priced at 1500 V-Bucks. The release date is not available yet.
The Skins
The leaker unveiled two unique skins, each offering two variations for Eminem: one with a mafia-inspired aesthetic and another capturing his iconic Slim Shady youth, later transformed by a mask. The Magma Marshall Skin will be available on December 2, 2 PM ET, when the BigBang event will start.
Emotes
Get ready for an exciting new emote series titled "Don't Mess With Shady!". This revealed emote, "Mask Up", does exactly what the title suggests—the character puts on a mask, surrounded by a mysterious dark mist. This likely ties in with the skin featuring a white mask and striking yellow eyes.

Community Reactions
The Twitter (or X) leak faced a significant backlash, while Reddit fans expressed pleasant surprise. Given Eminem's history as a controversial figure, this reaction doesn't come as a shock.
And let's not forget his "Tone Deaf" lyrics which go: "B**ch, I can make an orange rhyme with banana, banana. Eating pork rinds, sword fightin' in pajamas. At the crib, playing' Fortnite with your grandma."
