The Potential Release of a Guitar Controller for Fortnite's Rhythm Mode

A look into the possibility of PDP releasing a guitar controller for Fortnite's rhythm mode and its potential impact on the gaming industry.

Introduction

Epic Games launched Fortnite's music-driven Fortnite Festival mode on December 9, offering players a rhythm-based experience reminiscent of Harmonix's Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. This permanent mode can be played with a keyboard or controller, but the anticipation is building for the release of an official guitar-shaped peripheral, similar to those used in Harmonix's past games.

The Potential Impact

Furthermore, the possibility of a revival of the Rock Band series itself has been speculated online. With Epic Games owning Harmonix and Microsoft holding the rights to Guitar Hero, the revival of these beloved series is not entirely unlikely. This potential development would not only excite fans but also contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of gaming.

The Future of Fortnite

Regardless of whether an official guitar controller for Fortnite's music mode is released, the game's players can look forward to an eventful period leading up to 2024. In addition to Fortnite Festival, Epic Games has recently introduced a creative sandbox mode called LEGO Fortnite and the racing mode, Rocket Racing. These new modes promise to keep even the most dedicated Fortnite players engaged as they await the release of further exciting updates and expansions.
