ESPN is bringing a new gaming experience to fans with its one-of-a-kind Island in Fortnite, ESPN Football Island. Available now in the popular online game by searching “ESPN” or entering Island Code 4481-0077-4190, fans can experience over-the-top action and new exciting gameplay within the new map.
Fans entering ESPN Football Island will be welcomed by ESPN SportsCenter Anchors Randy Scott and Gary Striewski, and players will also hear the announcer talents of SportsCenter & NHL Content Host Arda Öcal.
With persistent progression and exclusive island-specific unlockable cosmetics, this experience includes multiple activities, challenges, and minigames, all centered around the island’s main event – Touchdown Rush, a multiplayer competitive “Payload Push” take on football.
“At ESPN, we consistently look for ways to innovate and showcase our world-class sports storytelling,” said Kevin Lopes, Vice President, Sports Business Development & Innovation at ESPN. “With ESPN Football Island, we’re doing just that through engaging games on a platform we know resonates with the next generation of sports fans.”
