Fortnite is firing on all cylinders in the latest season and new rumors have surfaced that will please music lovers. The dystopian nature of Chapter 5 Season 3 is the perfect way to introduce the popular band Metallica into the game and let them rip up a new one for players to enjoy.
The eagle-eyed members of the gaming community have spotted a text that was accidentally left by Epic Games that is quite explicit about which band will be featured later this season. Players who are fans of the band will be in for a treat given the great track record of concerts.
Epic Games Will Be Hosting Another Concert in Fortnite
The developers are doing everything possible to please the gaming community in all aspects. Music is one branch in particular. Epic Games has been quite stellar in that department, featuring several iconic pop artists like Billie Eilish for the upcoming festival. The developers even went above and beyond by adding a new game mode reminiscent of Guitar Hero.
CONFIRMED: A Metallica concert in Battle Royale will take place later during Chapter 5 – Season 3 🔥

Fans of the popular band will be able to live out their dreams of attending a concert. Although the experience will not be comparable to physically being in the venue with hundreds of thousands of fans, the developers are trying their best to give the gaming community the best and safest alternative.
Adding music into a game that is widely known to be competitive and occasionally toxic in the battle royale mode could be a nice change of pace. Players hanging out together without threatening each other’s lives in the game and enjoying the shared passion for the band and their work sounds good.
Fortnite Is Banking on the Music Industry Hard
The beauty of this live service game is that boundaries are practically non-existent. The developers’ collaborative nature is their strongest suit and it has benefited them greatly for the past few years and the gaming community is all for it.
Epic Games isn’t just limiting itself to collaborating with other popular gaming franchises, the developers have grown ambitious and teamed up with different brands outside gaming like movies and TV shows. At one point, The Weeknd was available to purchase in the in-game item shop as a rare cosmetic item for players to use in matches.
It is only a matter of time before band members will be made available for players to purchase in the item shop. This feature is highly anticipated and is expected to allow players to acquire band members to enhance their in-game experience.
The developers are trying to appeal to the music lovers and this is probably the best way to go about that idea. What are your favorite songs from the band and will you attend the Metallica concert in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3? Let us know in the comments section below!
