Gorillaz — the biggest virtual band in the world — has crossed over and crash-landed into a whole new universe! With their colorful backstory and ground-breaking musical ways, they’re ready to put on a show.
Band members Noodle, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Murdoc Niccals are the Icons of Fortnite Festival Season 10. Watch out for this dream line-up making their Festival debut on August 26!
There’s a brand new Main Stage coming from the concrete jungle. It features towering buildings, a street train, and plenty of graffiti. Noodle, the lead guitarist of Gorillaz, and 2D, the lead vocalist, are coming to the Fortnite Shop. Players will be able to get their Outfits and accessories until the end of Fortnite Festival Season 10. It will also include the hit song ‘Dare; as a Jam Track. The song that put Gorillaz on the map, ‘Clint Eastwood,’ will also be available in the Fortnite Shop.
The Season 10 Music Pass will feature free and premium rewards which can be earned by earning XP in any of the myriad Fortnite modes. Players will auto-unlock the Russel Outfit simply by purchasing the Pass or via Fortnite Crew. At the end of the pass, players will receive the Murdoc Outfit. Another jam track, ‘On Melancholy Hill,’ will be available in the pass. There are also a bunch of game improvements in Season 10, such as:
- Adding “Good” notes so that it’s clearer in the UI when you’re just short of “Perfect.”
- Adjusting the design of lift notes so it’s easier to tell when to press and when to let go.
- In the Main Stage Music Library, you’ll be able to sort by Song Duration or Song Intensity.
- You’ll be able to strum during the tune-up process, making it easier to test and calibrate your guitar controller.
