Event details
Samsung will be hosting an event at New York City’s Meatpacking district on March 16 to celebrate the arrival of their new product line, their partnership with the K-Pop group and Fortnite – with popular streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins set to appear.

Ninja has already made a big announcement ahead of that event, though, teasing that their will be a brand new landscape on show.

“A brand new map, exclusive to Fortnite,” Ninja told his viewers. “That’s right, a brand new map, literally built for this event.”
This is the first time Epic Games will have explored the idea of creating a new map for Fortnite since the game was released in September 2017. However, the likelihood is that the map will be a one-off for Samsung’s promotion.
Ninja will be hoping for a similar turnout to that of his New Year’s Eve Twitch event in Time’s Square, which turned out to be one of the most talked about broadcasts of 2018 – for both good and bad reasons.
Thousands of people stood outside in the rain that day and sensationally rejected his attempts to have them floss in the cold weather – during a stream that lasted from 4pm to 4am.
Samsung and Ninja will be hoping that this event not only tops his last in terms of publicity, but perhaps they’re crossing their fingers for good weather, too.
