And Local Multiplayer Is Coming With Her
If you make it to the end of season seven’s music pass before it’s too late, you’ll also unlockthe Brite Hatsune Miku Outfitwhich gives the virtual singer a makeover inspired by Fortnite’s Brite Bomber and Battle Bus. There’s also a Miku jam track being added to the Festival library -M@GICAL☆CURE! LOVE ♥ SHOT!- which will also need to be unlocked via music pass progression.
The other big addition coming to Fortnite Festival as part of season seven is local multiplayer.Starting on June 22, 2025, up to four people will be able to play Fortnite Festival on the same console. Potentially the closest we’ve been to OGRock Bandvibes for quite a while. Each player will need to be signed into their own Epic Games account in order to do that, though.
There’s still no indication of when or if we will be getting more modern-day recreations of Rock Band andGuitar Heroperipherals for Fortnite Festival use in the future. PDP has released the Fortnite Festival-compatible Riffmaster, andCRKD has an official Fortnite Festival NEO S controller. If someone could create drums and a mic to go along with those, we really would be back.
