Metallica will become the first band to take center stage across all Fortnite experiences. The band announced on Wednesday: “We’ve been lucky enough to perform on every continent on the planet, so we set our sights on Fortnite as our next stop. It’s all happening starting this week as we’re excited and very proud to be the first band at the center of all Fortnite experiences with Metallica-themed gameplay coming to Fortnite Festival, Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and more 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.”
The band continued: “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 through six songs with themed gameplay. The four of us are the icons of Fortnite Festival Season 4, where fans can shred along to songs you’ve probably heard a few times before, including “Enter Sandman,” “Ride the Lightning,” and “Master of Puppets.”
The band will have six different live showtimes across two days. Metallica will also be a part of the “Battle Stage,” a rhythm music game where 16 players can play the same four-song setlist with one emerging as the winner.
