Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

New Jazz arcade machine in Fortnite - February 24th 2025

It’s time to reset the clock about whether Epic Games remembers that they made Jazz Jackrabbit!

Fortnite has gotten a new update at some point, adding arcade machines, and one of them is themed after Jazz Jackrabbit. The sprites on the side are all higher-definition versions of Jazz 2 menu sprites, and the face of the arcade machine uses an inexplicable redraw of a screenshot of Jazz 1, rather than just use a screenshot of Jazz 1.

One assumes the arcade machine is just a static texture, and not playable. This follows up from the poster discovered in 2017.

Another of the Fortnite machines references ZZT, a game with over 4000 custom worlds, presumably none of which would be playable on a hypothetical ZZT arcade machine.
