The Fortnite Festival debuts on December 9, and this is expected to be a huge change for the game. The Fortnite Festival will be a new game mode introduced to the game. According to the Epic Games website, “Fortnite Festival is a new music game where players can play in a band with friends or perform solo on stage with hit music by their favorite artists.” Additionally, different artists will come and perform live in the festival mode, and fans can play along with them. With that said, one artist has been getting a lot of attention upon their reveal.
The Weeknd is an iconic artist who has mastered the sound of synth-pop. The Grammy award-winning artist is set to make his way to the Fortnite Festival, and players will be able to use his skin while watching him live. But what the players want to know more about is if the skin will still be available in battle royale mode after the festival event.
