The limited time Weezer Sweat(er) City The event goes live today (October 11). According to a press release, the experience will “bring the band's music to life in a series of new and sometimes surprising #weezered moments in the game.” This includes a weaponized guitar that plays the iconic “Buddy Holly” riff, while the developers have also recreated Arnold's Drive-In, which appears in the “Buddy Holly” music video. Players can also take selfies in front of a blue wall to recreate the album cover and “fight a Rivers Cuomo NPC boss wielding a stun gun made of sweater yarn.”

“Sweat(er) City “It’s all about rocking out with your friends while pulling off the sweetest heists with the best gear,” said Alex Seropian, founder and CEO of developers Look North World. “There is no band that can provide the soundtrack to the action better than Weezer. This partnership embodies the future of interactive entertainment, where music and games come together to create immersive, fan-focused experiences. We are honored to partner with and include Weezer Sweat(er) City and back to Fortnite!”

“Weezer and Fortnite Goes together like rock and roll and a diner,” added Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo. “So stop by, stop by Arnold's Drive-In. But be careful, you might find yourself breathless.”
