Fortnite Festival Introduces Local Multiplayer for Rock Band Experience

Fortnite Festival Expands with Local Multiplayer: A New Way to Jam Together

The excitement is building as Fortnite Festival, the game’s innovative music mode reminiscent of Rock Band, is set to roll out local multiplayer functionality for PlayStation and Xbox users on January 14th. This update will allow players to share the stage with friends, jamming to real songs on the same screen, reinvigorating the social gaming experience.

Local Multiplayer Features

With this local multiplayer update, gamers can unite up to four players in one location, bringing back the nostalgic feel of group music sessions. However, it's important to note that Fortnite Festival currently only supports certain Rock Band guitar controllers. If you're keen on playing vocals or drums, you will have to rely on traditional controllers for your performance.

Epic Games' Response

Despite inquiries, Epic Games has yet to confirm when drum kit or microphone support will be incorporated into Fortnite Festival. As the community eagerly awaits further updates, players are hopeful for a more comprehensive instrument compatibility in the future.

What's New in Season 7?

This new local multiplayer mode is part of Season 7 of Fortnite Festival, which promises fresh content and engaging experiences. Speculation surrounding Season 7 hints at the presence of virtual pop star Hatsune Miku as the featured artist, exciting fans with the possibility of her joining the Fortnite universe soon.

Join the Fun!

Gamers and music enthusiasts alike can look forward to the chance to recreate their favorite Rock Band vibes within the Fortnite layout. Get ready to grab your controllers, assemble your friends, and dive into the beat-filled adventures that await!
