Fortnite Festival Season 3 Adds Guitar Controllers, Billie Eilish, And One Of The Greatest Bands Ever
Billie Eilish is also bringing new jam tracks and two new emotes to the item shop
The new jam tracks on the premium track of the Festival pass are:
- Oxytocin by Billie Eilish
- Friday I'm In Love by The Cure (This is the one referenced in the title, by the way)
- Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer
- Maps by Maroon 5
Unlike the previous Festival headliners, Eilish only has one skin right now, the one that's available with the Festival pass, though Epic promises that Eilish will get a new Item Shop skin later in the season to coincide with her upcoming album release. For now, though, Eilish will have three new jam tracks available in the shop--"Happier Than Ever," "Therefore I am" and "all the good girls go to hell"--as well as two emotes, dubbed "bad guy" and "you should see me in a crown." And yes, the lack of capital letters is intentional--it's a Gen Z thing, just go with it.
As mentioned above, the addition of support for guitar controllers is another huge story for the new season. As of the start of Season 3, Festival officially supports three guitar controllers: the Rock Band 4 Fender Stratocaster, the Rock Band 4 Fender Jaguar, and the brand-new PDP Riffmaster R controller.
Guitar controllers will have their own separate guitar and bass charts for each song, as well as their own leaderboards--if you're stuck on a regular gamepad, you won't be competing against guitar folks for high scores. Epic promises more news about instrument controllers in the relative near future--support for plastic drums may be on the horizon.
