- Duel mode will likely feature two-player competitions, while Arena may have a leaderboard and ranks with rewards. Music Battle mode could involve dealing damage by playing the same song as the opponent with more notes right.
- As Epic Games continues to work on these game modes, more details will likely become available through game files and dataminers.
Epic Games introduced fans to three game modes within Fortnite, and now it seems that one of these modes, Fortnite Festival, is getting its own subgame modes. Season OG proved to be a huge success; it caused Fortnite's player count to reach an all-time high. However, it had to come to an end eventually, and so it came to a halt on December 2, 2023, with The Big Bang live event. The following day, Chapter 5 Season 1 started, and not long after, it received three major game modes.
A new game mode became available each day from December 7 until December 9. First, players were able to try out Lego Fortnite, then Rocket Racing, and lastly, Fortnite Festival. Each mode was completely different, as it introduced a whole new game genre to Fortnite; this led some fans to believe that Epic Games intends to turn Fortnite into a gaming hub, especially when rumors started mentioning the possibility of Fall Guys being added to Fortnite. All three game modes will receive as much attention from Epic Games as Battle Royale, Creative, and Save the World, as they will remain available permanently.
The Unwritten Rules of Fortnite Festival Explained
New players to the rhythm game genre should follow these unspoken rules to succeed in the new Rock Band-inspired Fortnite Festival mode.
Fortnite Festival was the only game to receive additional modes. Gamers could either rock out on the Main Stage or chill on the Jam Stage. Now, information from leaker iFireMonkey suggests that it could potentially get three more game modes: Duel, Arena, and Music Battle.
What Are the Rumored Fortnite Festival Game Modes?
- Duel
- Arena
- Music Battle
Initial leaks mentioned that Fortnite Festival would only get one game mode and that was Music Battle. However, now it seems like fans will have plenty of content to entertain themselves.
At the moment, these assumptions are based on gameplay tags found within the game files by reliable dataminers. According to iFireMonkey, gamers will be able to deal damage by getting more notes right as they play the same song as their opponent in Music Battle. No information has been revealed regarding the other modes, but Duel will probably feature two-player competitions. Arena used to be a ranked Battle Royale game mode, so it may feature a leaderboard and ranks with unlockable rewards.
As Epic Games works on these game modes, the differences between the three will become clearer. With time, more information will be available through the game files, and dataminers will likely be able to tell the rest of the community what to expect. On top of this, Fortnite is quite active on social media, so fans are used to getting hints on upcoming features. Gamers should be sure to complete their Opening Night Pass while waiting for more news on this subject.
