  • Fans are eagerly speculating about which major music star could be joining Fortnite Festival's season 2, awaiting teasers and potential clues.

Recent rumors swirling around about Fortnite's Festival mode are suggesting that February 22 is a date that fans of the rhythm mode should be looking forward to. After Fortnite introduced Fortnite Festival back in December, some fans of the mode have been wondering when the next update will be, and players may be getting an answer sooner than expected.

The rhythm genre met its apex with the success of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises, but the hype surrounding this game genre eventually seemed to fizzle out over time. However, the recent introduction of Fortnite Festival has caused many gamers to start talking about rhythm games once again. Although Fortnite is best known for its battle royale mode, Festival offers a fun and unexpected change of pace. Players are given the opportunity to perform either vocals, lead, bass, or drums while keeping rhythm to both real-life hits and original tracks made just for the game. The new mode has been an interesting addition to Fortnite, and fans of Fortnite Festival may be getting an update in just a matter of days.
