Twitter Reacts to Fortnite’s New Martin Luther King Jr. ‘Experience’

In ‘who asked for this?’ news, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is coming to Fortnite, and Twitter is gagging.

On Thursday, PlayStation announced a new game experience titled “March Through Time,” which takes users on an interactive journey to the United States National Mall and Lincoln Memorial, the site of MLK’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. “March Through Time” then allows gamers to complete several “mini-games” at museums and other notable locations in Washington D.C.
