The BMW Group has created a virtual city of the future with the island "Hypnopolis", which can be explored by Fortnite's players. In a storyline centered around the new BMW iX2, the island offers players a variety of challenges.

Hypnopolis also has a faithful representation of other landmarks, such as the BMW Welt and the BMW Museum. This virtual city is already accessible in Fortnite, and you can dive right into Hypnopolis by entering the following island code: 3541-0917-2429. The German luxury automaker is proud to say it has developed the first car creator in Fortnite, found at the BMW Welt. It can be unlocked by completing a series of challenges, and after that, a prototype of the X2 can be customized with paint schemes, wheels, and "trunk contents."

BMW points out it did all the work on its own without the assistance of Epic Games, the video game studio that developed Fortnite. The real X2 is scheduled to premiere on October 11 (October 10 evening in the United States) and we're expecting to see both ICE and EV versions of the crossover-coupe mashup before production starts late this year at the factory in Regensburg.

Following its world premiere, the 2024 BMW X2 will show up in the Car Creator as a production model with the body colors, wheel designs, and interior options available for the actual vehicle. Numerous spy shots have revealed the new model internally codenamed "U10" will be significantly larger and is going to adopt a substantially different shape by going for the mini-X6 silhouette.

It'll be mechanically related to the X1 and the zero-emission iX1, with the range to be topped by an M Performance version.

"Our island in the online video game Fortnite opens up new dialogue opportunities with Next Gen target groups and brings the brand to life in the hands of the players. We are especially pleased that BMW is the first brand to give players the opportunity to customize a digital vehicle in Fortnite." says Stefan Ponikva, Vice President BMW Brand Communication and Brand Experience.
