Back when Fortnite introduced its LEGO and Rocket Racing offshoots, a third addition was made with Festival, developed by Rock Band studio Harmonix. The rhythm game, which features hundreds of licensed music tracks to play along to, is confirmed to be getting continued support through "2025 and beyond".
In a recent blog post, Epic Games celebrates the first year of Festival with a weekend-only event in which players will have free access to over 280 songs, from 12th to 15th December.
It also confirms that support will continue for the foreseeable future, mentioning "2025 and beyond", so there's plenty more to come.
The ongoing support unfortunately doesn't extend to Rocket Racing, the least popular of Fortnite's extra games. It's been confirmed already that it won't be receiving additional themed updates.
Meanwhile, LEGO Fortnite has been massively expanded, with the original game rebranded LEGO Fortnite Odyssey and a new mode, Brick Life, coming very soon. On top of all that, Fortnite Ballistic, a first-person, competitive shooter mode, was also recently introduced.
Lots to be getting on with, then. Are you still enjoying Fortnite Festival? Feel the rhythm in the comments section below.

Bring. Me. NewJeans!
Not my favourite thing Harmonix has put out (RIP Fuser) but this is a good enough substitute for Rock Band and the songs getting added are great (new Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish this week!!)
Probably a lot easier to monetize Festival by selling* songs that people want than race car skins.
I wish they would put Rocket Racing out as a standalone release. I would be down for another f2p arcade racer next to Speedstorm.
The core audience might not be inside the Fortnite launcher.
Festival is the mode I play least.
I quite like RR. It’s fun for a few races every now and again.
LEGO Fortnite was the best mode but they’ve just ruined it with the latest update.
