METALLICA might be coming in the popular video game, Fortnite.
With Fortnite’s history of collaborating with big-name artists and bands for in-game events and skins, the speculation around METALLICA‘s potential involvement has sparked significant interest.
A fan discovered clues within a text file, as reported by Fortnite reporter Shiina, located in the backend of Fortnite. It clue reads “used in CH5S3 Metallica Concert.”
This brief text fragment appears to validate the likelihood of a METALLICA concert occurring at some point during the ongoing Chapter 5, Season 3 of Fortnite. The season commenced on May 24 and is scheduled to conclude on August 16.
Metallica has made previous appearances in Fortnite. Since 2022, fans have had the opportunity to purchase a “Master of Puppets” emote. Developers have also affirmed that this iconic song will be incorporated into Fortnite Festival, an exclusive rhythm game akin to Rock Band and Guitar Hero.
Fortnite Festival has showcased several headline acts in the past, such as Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and currently, Billie Eilish. METALLICA could potentially join this esteemed lineup as the latest addition.
Stay tuned to Epic Games’ official channels and keep an eye on Fortnite updates for any potential confirmation of this collaboration.
