Fortnite has been around for a few years now and Epic Games has done plenty to elevate the gameplay and improvements to the entertainment factor by taking inspiration from other games. Music lovers will get a kick out of this new PvP mode that is reminiscent of Guitar Hero.
The gaming community has never grown tired of the competitive nature of the live service game but it wouldn’t hurt to add something different. Rather than shooting each other, winners will be determined by players beating their opponents by having a better sense of hearing.
Fortnite Is About to Replace Guitar Hero in the Most Epic Way
The gaming community knew something monumental was about to go down the moment gameplay footage of Billie Eilish appearing in the Fortnite Festival leaked. The clip featured a quick sequence of button mashing that matches the beats of a song that is quite similar to Guitar Hero. It may seem unoriginal but the developers must have thought of it and likely included something unique.

From what the community discovered, players can play this new game mode individually or with a full squad and it is exciting for players to live out their dreams of being in a rock band together in-game. Of course Fortnite Festival has always been its own version of Activision’s Guitar Hero, but this latest potential mode will bring it directly into a comparison with it, and of course Rock Band.
It is unclear how Epic Games will implement this ambitious game mode, but previous festivals have demonstrated the developers’ ability to meet fan expectations. This game mode is a great reprieve from the traditional competitive gameplay and will settle differences through jamming with the music and giving their best performance.
This Season’s Fortnite Festival Will Blow the Players Away
This season has already done plenty in terms of in-game content that left quite an impression on the community. Perhaps the festival will be a great alternative for players who are planning on avoiding being on the receiving end of a mounted machine gun of a vehicle.
Developers are doing an excellent job by emphasizing the incorporation of music into gameplay, creating a more immersive and engaging experience for players. This approach enhances the emotional impact of the game and draws players further into the virtual world, making the overall experience more captivating and enjoyable.
More music artists could be featured in the game along with their works. Epic Games has been known for its collaborative nature and will take every opportunity it can get to boost the popularity of the game.
The current generation is deeply influenced by the power of music, and even the gaming community is enthralled by the seamless integration of both mediums by game developers. Guitar Hero has reigned long enough and Epic Games is prepared to offer a new but similar experience.
