Fortnite players have discovered a new addition to the game with the launch of Season 8 Thursday: Weezer World.

If you're a big Weezer fan and are excited to hear their upcoming self-titled album, known as The Black Album, you may want to check out this island because it's playing songs that aren't available publicly yet.

Weezer World, which is an island you can check out in creative mode, is basically a giant Weezer-themed amusement park with a handful of different activities to check out either by yourself or with others. While you're on the island, you can listen to four different Weezer songs from The Black Album.

Weezer's frontman Rivers Cuomo hasn't been shy about playing Fortnite, first sharing that fact back in the summer of 2018

Weezer tweeted out a little joke about the release of the new season of Fortnite and the band's involvement in it.

This isn't the first time we've seen Fortnite developer Epic Games team up with real-world musicians. Earlier in February, Fortnite hosted an in-game concert featuring the artist Marshmello. It's not a bad way to do a little advertising considering Fortnite continues to be one of the most-played games of the past year.

While the Marshmello concert was a one-off event, it's currently unclear how long Weezer World will exist. It might only be around until the new album drops on March 1.
