Fortnite Festival has launched and brings a fresh rhythm game experience developed by Harmonix, known for Rockband. It has two distinct modes for players: Festival Main Stage, a performance-based mode reminiscent of classic Rockband, and Festival Jam Stage, a more relaxed environment for creating music mashups with friends. Players can pick from different instruments, customize their skins, and interact in various social spaces. The game emphasizes collaboration, creativity, and fun, promising a mix of competitive play through achieving high scores and cooperative play in making music. It's also designed with DMCA precautions in mind, to ensure players can enjoy the game's music without fear of copyright infringement issues. Furthermore, Fortnite Festival is set to evolve with new songs from various artists, keeping the playlist fresh and engaging.
