Fortnite Festival
The last two updates have focused on Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing – two of Fortnite’s main game modes.
So it’s thought Epic Games might be laying the groundwork for the Fortnite Festival in the upcoming update version 29.30.
Fortnite Festival is a music-driven, rhythm-based Guitar Hero-style game that revolves around a new artist and their setlist each time.
As always, Epic Games has been tight-lipped as to who this season’s artists will be.
But as the Evening Standard notes, the game makers will have a hard time topping the previous acts.
Fortnite Festival began with The Weeknd, followed by Lady Gaga in season two.
So stay tuned for the grand reveal.
Weapons
The beloved original Tactical Assault Rifle could reportedly make a comeback after being removed in a past update.
The weapon is known for being reliable in close-quarters combat in Fortnite’s flagship Battle Royale mode.
Release date
The update could land on consoles as soon as next week.
While Epic Games haven’t warned of any upcoming releases on their Server Status website, previous updates suggest version 29.30 could land on April 23.
