Overview

• Epic Games has launched Fortnite Festival, a new mode within Fortnite that allows players to perform popular songs using game controllers or mouse and keyboard, similar to the gameplay of Rock Band.
• The Festival mode was developed by Harmonix, the studio behind Guitar Hero, which Epic Games acquired in 2021.
• Fortnite Festival will feature two stages: the main stage, which recreates the Rock Band experience, and the jam stage, which allows players to mix parts of popular songs together.
• At launch, Fortnite Festival will have around 15 songs available, with plans to add hundreds more within the first year.
• Harmonix developers have expressed hopes to integrate old Rock Band instruments into Fortnite Festival in the future.
