Rock Out Now! Fortnite x Fender Collaboration Launches with These Release Date Details

Curious about the release date for the new rockin’ Fortnite x Fender collaboration? Look no further! This guide gives you all the details about this electrifying partnership and how you can shred in Fortnite Festival.

Fortnite x Fender Collaboration Release Date

The Fender x Fortnite collab launched on March 13, 2024, so you can grab your virtual axe (or bass) and hit the stage right now! Head to the in-game Item Shop and snag these digital instruments to dominate the Festival mode’s Main Stage and Jam Stage. Jam alongside music from world-famous artists, or shred some epic riffs in classic Battle Royale.

Choose Your Axe… I Mean, Instrument!

This collab isn’t a one-trick pony. You can choose from two of Fender’s most iconic instruments: the timeless Stratocaster and the thumping Precision Bass. Each comes in a variety of colors to suit your style:

  • Fender Stratocaster: Black, Fiesta Red, Lake Placid Blue
  • Fender Precision Bass: Black, Buttercream, Tidepool

This partnership between Fortnite and Fender might be just the beginning. With a vast instrument collection beyond the Stratocaster and Precision Bass, Fender has the potential to bring even more musical options to the game.

Jam with a Regular Controller (for Now)

While rocking out with a real guitar controller sounds amazing, there’s no official word on Fortnite Festival supporting them yet. While Epic Games and Harmonix have hinted at future compatibility, for now, you’ll need a traditional controller to shred in Festival mode.

Third-party manufacturers like PDP are stepping in with the upcoming Riffmaster controller, compatible with both Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4. But whether guitar compatibility will be live by the Riffmaster’s spring release remains to be seen.

So grab your favorite pickaxe (or should we say, pick) and get ready to rock out in Fortnite with the Fender collaboration!
