Epic Games' metaverse aspirations for Fortnite are steadily materializing, transforming the game from a simple battle royale into a comprehensive platform. As part of Fortnite's Chapter 4 conclusion, Epic teased its future by introducing a racing mode, a rhythm game, and an ambitious collaboration with LEGO.
In their official blog post unveiling these additions, Epic Games detailed three distinct game modes: 'LEGO Fortnite,' 'Rocket Racing,' and 'Fortnite Festival.' LEGO Fortnite promises "the ultimate survival crafting LEGO adventure," combining vast, open worlds with the creative essence of LEGO building and Fortnite. The game is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, promoting creativity, experimentation, and collaboration.
Rocket Racing offers a supersonic arcade racing experience where players can drift, fly, and boost with friends through an expanding array of tracks. Developed by Psyonix, renowned for Rocket League, this mode provides a more robust racing experience compared to the standard Fortnite karting seen in the battle royale map.
Fortnite Festival introduces a music game allowing players to form a band with friends or perform solo on stage with hit music from their favorite artists. Developed by Harmonix, an Epic Games subsidiary known for creating Guitar Hero and Rocksmith, the rhythm game promises solid mechanics.
The release dates for these new modes are as follows: LEGO Fortnite goes live on December 7th, Rocket Racing follows closely on December 8th, and Fortnite Festival concludes the trio on December 9th. With this upcoming update, Epic Games appears to be opening the metaverse floodgates, presenting Fortnite with potentially limitless opportunities.
