The Avenged Sevenfold Fortnite collab appears to be a custom Creative map which may or may not include music from the band. This is based on what the band has revealed online.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), A7X first teased its collab with the battle royale game back in November 2023. In the short teaser, we see a character sweeping the floor next to the band’s iconic Deathbat logo. The track ‘(D)eath’ plays in the background. Check it out below:
Fast-forward to January 2024, and Avenged Sevenfold have released a full trailer for what appears to be a custom map seemingly made in Fortnite Creative.
The trailer (above) makes it appear as though we could be playing across a couple of custom Creative maps with A7X theming. One appears to be a multiplayer map for shooting and eliminations, while the other is a motorbike racing map with accompanying shotgun and turret.
Time will tell what it’s all about and whether it will feature Avenged Sevenfold music playing along in the background or not. Whatever it is, it’s set to go live today, 12th January, at 5PM here in the UK.
