Plus, as a lover of all things rock and/or roll and a firm disliker of PvP shooters, anything that gets people to trade the staccato of an assault rifle for a snare drum is okay with me.Īt least, it’s okay in principle. With Fortnite’s history of celebrity musician appearances and in-game concerts, it isn’t even a weird fit for a Fortnite mode. Credit where credit is due, Festival is the only one of the three that really retains Fortnite’s aesthetic ( LEGO Fortnite obviously makes use of the iconic minifigs instead, and Rocket Racing feels like an add-on for Rocket League that got accidentally pasted into the wrong product). It’s one of three free new games rammed into Fortnite, along with LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing.

Simply put, Fortnite Festival is a rhythm game now embedded in the Fortnite ecosystem.
