"Nobody wants it": Fans Freak Out Over Latest Fortnite Festival Headliner Rumor
Image via: Epic Games With this season of Fortnite Festival ending soon on June 17, anticipation is high for what's to come next. A recent leak that electronic music producer Deadmau5 would headline the upcoming season has set off a remarkable negative reaction from the community. Deadmau5 Rumored as Headliner — But Not Everyone's On Board The leak, posted today by reputable Fortnite leakers alleges that Deadmau5 will be introducing brand-new cosmetics to the Festival mode, including a custom keytar and drum set. While that might seem like a fun one-off, high-octane addition to some, safety advocates are sounding the alarm. One user commented, 'Nobody wants it,' a comment that represented many of the comments on multiple threads. Even with Deadmau5's international fame and massive live performance presence, which has drawn as many comparisons to new headliners Marshmello and old headliner Daft Punk, the announcement just hasn't been resonating with much of Fortnite's player community. One of the largest reasons for the lukewarm reception appears to be based on what the community expected from T-Pain. After his ultra-publicized debut in a silly Fortnite 'docuseries' back in Chapter 6 Season 2, fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since. It was what a lot of people imagined would be his stage for the next Festival. What's Next for the Fortnite Festival? Though Epic Games has yet to formally announce Deadmau5's addition, everything certainly suggests a June 18 debut for the new Festival season, the day after the current one ends. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo If this rumor turns out to be correct, players can look forward to receiving a new Festival Pass, themed cosmetics, and Jam Tracks from the helmeted DJ himself.

Insiders say it would help inherit its trailblazing history of unprecedented multi-genre virtual concerts in public video gaming spaces. With past seasons bringing major artists such as Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Eminem, the standard has already been established and fans are surely hoping for another amazing chapter. Until then, one thing is for sure, Epic Games has one hell of a tough crowd to win over this time around.

What to expect from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 live event leaks and hints
A detailed leak regarding the upcoming Fortnite live event for Chapter 6 Season 2 has emerged, offering intriguing insights into what players can expect. The event is set to unfold at the end of the season and will introduce the next chapter in the game's ongoing storyline, leading into Chapter 6 Season 3, which is rumored to have a Star Wars theme. As per SportsKeeda, the live event will feature a portal, similar to the one seen in Chapter 6 Season 1, which will grant access to the Demon realm. The leaked animation showcases a character named Diago entering the portal, with Fletcher Kane potentially playing a pivotal role in the event. Kane, who is said to have provided Diago with gold to forge a more powerful mask, could help Diago collect the Zero Point Shard. The Zero Point, a central element of Fortnite's lore, holds immense power as the origin of the Metaverse. If Kane manages to secure the Zero Point Shard, it could allow him to manipulate reality itself, making the live event crucial for the game's narrative progression. Leaked animations further suggest that the portal will emit a pulsating purple light, adding to the event's dramatic visuals. -X The event will take place in the Magic Mosses location, and it's unclear if there will be a buildup leading to the portal opening. After the live event concludes, it's expected that the Death Star from Star Wars will appear in the sky, although its role in Chapter 6 Season 3 remains uncertain. While much of the leak is still speculative, it paints a tantalizing picture of what's to come in the Fortnite storyline.
