Players either play in a group or solo, hitting notes on a track depending on which instrument they decide to play.

Fortnite has been pushing out features for its new game modes like Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Rocket Racing since December last year in a push to be more like a metaverse for games similar to Roblox. The leaked roadmap includes plans for all four game modes for the year, with LEGO Fortnite receiving the most major updates. Plans for LEGO Fortnite include a LEGO Star Wars collaboration that appears to be coming sometime in May. May usually has Fortnite doing a Star Wars update of some kind in reference to the Star Wars holiday on May 4. Whether Billie Eilish will have her own LEGO skin has yet to be seen.
Fortnite is always looking to add new skins to its ever-growing metaverse of properties and game modes. A recent survey has players taking a look at several potential skins coming to Fortnite sometime soon, all of which have some sort of samurai theme to them. Billie Eilish is one of many skins coming to the Fortnite roster. A mashup of as many IPs and personalities as players can think of has made Fortnite stand out from all other games. If the recent leaks about Fortnite’s roadmap are true, fans can expect many more major crossovers soon.
