As the X post by @SamLeakss suggests, XXXTentacion's music producer and close friend, John Cunningham has been in talks with Epic Games for the past month regarding this collaboration.

Apparently, the collaboration was initially planned to be released on Jahseh's birthday, which is on January 23, 2025. However, it is likely about to be delayed so that Epic Games can take more time and make something massive — similar to the Juice WRLD collaboration which is now confirmed as Chapter 2 Remix: The Finale event and coming on November 30, 2024.

Epic Games is full of surprises and is great at paying tributes. Considering this, we can still expect the event to be on schedule and be executed by January 2025.
