Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world and that’s largely because of all the new content Epic keeps pouring into the battle royale. This season has the potential to be unforgettable as there is a lot of leaked upcoming collaborations. While Pirates of the Caribbean has been rumored for months, a recent leak shows Fortnite is getting another huge live event before the end of Chapter 5 Season 3.
It’s a shame an exciting feature has been delayed from June until the end of the year, but there is still plenty else to anticipate in the world of Fortnite. A new survey suggests another OG season is planned, meanwhile, Epic is planning to introduce the ability for players to go prone in the battlefield.
The future of Epic Games’ battle royale is massively exciting, but we still have a couple months of Chapter 5 Season 3 remaining. Captain Jack Sparrow is believed to be sailing into the game soon, but fans will also have the opportunity to attend a heavy metal concert.
Fortnite is getting a Metallica live event concert
Per ShiinaBR on Twitter, Fortnite is set to get a Metallica concert in Chapter 5 Season 3. This leak stems from Epic accidentally leaving text in game files that says, “Used in CH5S3 Metallica Concert”.
This will be another live event concert for players to attend. Previously we have had concerts from Travis Scott and Ariana Grande. Lady Gaga was also a prominent part of Epic Games’ battle royale for Season 2.
While there’s no mention of exactly when the Metallica concert will take place, it is scheduled for Chapter 5 Season 3 meaning it will happen before Season 4 starts around about August 16th. Sometime in July would probably be the safe bet, but that’s simply a guess.
There’s no mention of exactly what the concert will include, but it should be similar to the Ariana Grande and Travis Scott music events. You will be able to attend it live with fellow players, and, hopefully, we will all be able to riff our air guitars to classic tunes like Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, and Moth into the Flame.
While a Metallica concert is exciting purely for the purposes of listening to good music, it’s also good news because it further lends credence to belief that the leaked Fortnite roadmap for 2024 is accurate. This leaked roadmap said Chapter 5 Season 3 would be getting an apocalypse theme with Pirates of the Caribbean and a Metallica concert. The apocalypse theme has become reality, and leaks heavily suggest the other two are happening soon.
Under the assumption that the roadmap is indeed accurate, we also know the first Season 4 skin along with a new gameplay feature.
