As always, Epic Games roll out a variety of new quests for players to complete with either XP or cosmetic rewards up for grabs. Taking on challenges is the best way to level up and unlock fresh Fortnite Myths and Mortals themed goodies along the way.
What is Fortnite Festival?

If you haven’t been paying attention Fortnite is now much more than building towers and blasting humanoid bananas. Epic Games is doing what Meta wishes it could and is busy building a bona fide metaverse, with Fortnite rapidly becoming a platform for varied interactive experiences with the Battle Royale mode at its core. Over the last few months, we’ve seen ‘Rocket Racing’, the Minecraft-like ‘LEGO Fortnite’, and expansions of the Creative Modes in which players can make pretty much whatever they want.
Recommended VideosOf all these, perhaps the most eye-catching new mode is Fortnite Festival. This mode will very soon receive a shot in the arm with the addition of Lady Gaga to the game, so, what is it and how do you play it?
The basics
Fortnite Festival is a rhythm action game in which you join a four-person band and play along to either licensed songs or Fortnite‘s in-house tracks. In single-player you can play with bots on other instruments or go online and have other players join the band. Each track has guitar, bass, vocals, and drum parts, though band members can double up if each wants to do the same instrument. There are four difficulty levels for each track, each rising in complexity.
Every day the selection of songs up for grabs is updated, though at the moment if you miss a favorite song you can assume it’ll roll around again sometime over the next few weeks or so. No matter your age or tastes you should find something to love, with classics like the Cranberries’ ‘Zombie’ rubbing shoulders with recent hits like Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Vampire’. The upcoming Lady Gaga collab likely means we’ll be getting a lot of her hits landing soon, but if you really can’t wait ‘Bad Romance’ is usually in the weekly rotation.
As with the rest of Fortnite the game is free-to-play, though there’s a Fortnite Festival premium battle pass that lets you unlock special skins, wallpapers and emotes that can be used elsewhere in the game. Adjacent to Fortnite Festival is the Jam Stage, a chillout area where you can remix in-game songs with other players as you see fit.
The gameplay will be familiar to anyone who’s ever picked up a rhythm action title. Notes travel toward you down a ‘highway’ and you must tap the right button (or key, if you’re on keyboard) at the right time to succeed. If you’re curious all you need to do is download Fortnite via the Epic Store, create an account and select the mode from the (admittedly rather bewildering) main menu. To underline once more, you do not need to pay a single penny to play the game and, like the rest of Fortnite, game progression is not based around mobile-gaming-like microtransactions.
The legacy
Fortnite Festival might be new to Fortnite, but it has a very long history
