METALLICA BRINGS BATTLE STAGE TO FORTNITE AS BAND GET LEGO MAKEOVER
Fortnite’s next crossover is with Metallica, which brings a new PvP mode, various songs, and some Lego skins.
After Billie Eilish made the jump into Fortnite back in April, Epic Games has announced Metallica as the next musical act taking to the virtual stage.
Fortnite expanded with three new game modes last year, adding an open world survival Lego mode, Rocket Racing, and the Rock Band-esque mode Fortnite Festival.
While Fortnite has staged crossovers with musicians for years, from Ariana Grande to Travis Scott, now every crossover comes with new additions across all four modes – between new songs, skins and racing tracks.
For Metallica, the headline act is an ‘immersive music experience’ titled Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury., which journeys through six of the band’s biggest songs via a playable concert.
The show itself will have six different showtimes across Saturday June 22 (7pm, 10pm and 4am BST) and Sunday June 23 (3pm, 7pm and 10pm BST).
There’s also a new PvP battle stage coming to Fortnite Festival for season four, where 16 players face off in a ‘musical free-for-all’, with one player coming out on top following a four-song setlist. Epic has confirmed the mode will stick around following the Metallica season too.
