(NLM) Having played every continent in the physical world, Metallica sets its sights on new frontiers with events across Fortnite this month. Metallica becomes the first band to take center stage across all Fortnite experiences, with Metallica-themed gameplay coming to Fortnite Festival, Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and more starting tomorrow, June 13.
Plus, as part of an all new music experience inside of Fortnite, Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury. will bring a series of in-game concert performances to players only on June 22 and June 23.
Completely customized and built from the ground up using Unreal Editor for Fortnite by technology studio Magnopus, Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury. is a brand-new playable concert that will journey through six of Metallica's fan-favorite songs with themed gameplay that complements the intensity of a Metallica live show. This immersive music experience will have six different showtimes across two days:
Saturday, June 22, 2024
2 PM ET
5 PM ET
11 PM ET
Sunday, June 23, 2024
10 AM ET
2 PM ET
5 PM ET
The above times will be the only chance to experience the concert live.
James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo of Metallica are the icons of Fortnite Festival Season 4, where fans can shred along with Metallica on classics including "Enter Sandman," "Ride the Lightning," and "Master of Puppets."
Metallica's not just visiting Fortnite to perform-they're here to battle. This new season of Fortnite Festival introduces the Battle Stage, a new competitive way to play the rhythm music game, and will be available even after the Metallica collaboration concludes.
Fortnite Festival's Battle Stage will see 16 players in a match, all will play from the same four-song setlist, and one will emerge victorious.
Season 4 starts tomorrow and ends August 16, 2024 at 12 AM ET.
