BOSTON -- Businesswire -- Gillette (NYSE: PG), the world’s largest male grooming company and brand pioneer in gaming and esports, proudly announced the return of the highly anticipated Gillette Cup Featuring Fortnite, a two-day international gaming competition featuring a custom-built island in Fortnite. First played in February 2022, the inaugural Gillette Cup garnered over 300,000 viewing hours throughout the tournament. Back for its second year, the event kicks off on June 1, 2023, and will unite members of the Gillette Gaming Alliance as they compete against members of the global Fortnite community for $50,000 -- doubling the prize pool from last year. The Gillette Cup Featuring Fortnite is among one of the largest branded tournaments to date for the gaming community.
The competition will be played on a revamped “Gillette Face-Off” island, a custom environment developed using Fortnite’s Creative toolset; this builds on the success of the island’s existing futuristic lab and mineshaft versions, which were first introduced in 2022. The custom branded Fortnite islands feature action-packed “Zero Build” gameplay and iconic Gillette products for a gaming experience as satisfying as a close shave. To compete in the “Gillette Face-Off” islands at any time, use island code 6674-8139-7577.
“The celebrated return of the Gillette Cup Featuring Fortnite is testament to our previous successes and deepening relationship with Gillette Gaming Alliance members to provide meaningful and impactful experiences to the gaming community,” explains Daniel Ordonez, Gillette Global Brand Franchise Leader. “We are looking forward to cheering on our Alliance members and engaging with Fortnite’s community - while, most importantly, meeting them where they thrive in a truly fun and authentic way.”
