It’s during the March on Washington that Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his historic 17-minute “I Have a Dream” speech. Players will be able to visit both the Lincoln Memorial and the United States National Mall and participate in activities and mini-game quests as they make their way through the experience.
While this is quite the departure for a game like Fortnite, there are still some challenges to complete. Finishing them will net players the DC 63 spray for use in-game, but that seems to be the only unlockable associated with this event. The in-game reimagining of Washington DC was crafted by Fortnite players ChaseJackman, GQuanoe, XWDFr, and YU7A.
We’re not sure how long the March Through Time event will be live in Fortnite, so be sure to check it out while you can. It’ll be interesting to see if Epic Games hosts more educational events like this in the future because it’s hard to deny the positive effect a game as popular as Fortnite could have when it comes to teaching history.
