Summary
Epic Games introduced fans to three game modes withinFortnite, and now it seems that one of these modes, Fortnite Festival, is getting its own subgame modes. Season OG proved to be a huge success; it causedFortnite’s player count to reach an all-time high. However, it had to come to an end eventually, and so it came to a halt on July 05, 2025, with The Big Bang live event. The following day, Chapter 5 Season 1 started, and not long after, it received three major game modes.
A new game mode became available each day from December 7 until December 9. First, players were able to try out Lego Fortnite, then Rocket Racing, and lastly, Fortnite Festival. Each mode was completely different, as it introduced a whole new game genre toFortnite; this led some fans to believe that Epic Games intends to turnFortniteinto a gaming hub, especially when rumors started mentioning thepossibility ofFall Guysbeing added toFortnite. All three game modes will receive as much attention from Epic Games as Battle Royale, Creative, and Save the World, as they will remain available permanently.

Fortnite Festival was the only game to receive additional modes. Gamers could either rock out on the Main Stage or chill on the Jam Stage. Now,information from leaker iFireMonkeysuggests that it could potentially get three more game modes: Duel, Arena, and Music Battle.
What Are the Rumored Fortnite Festival Game Modes?
Initial leaks mentioned thatFortnite Festival would only get one game modeand that was Music Battle. However, now it seems like fans will have plenty of content to entertain themselves.
At the moment, these assumptions are based on gameplay tags found within the game files by reliable dataminers. According to iFireMonkey, gamers will be able to deal damage by getting more notes right as they play the same song as their opponent in Music Battle. No information has been revealed regarding the other modes, but Duel will probably feature two-player competitions. Arena used to be aranked Battle Royalegame mode, so it may feature a leaderboard and ranks with unlockable rewards.

As Epic Games works on these game modes, the differences between the three will become clearer. With time, more information will be available through the game files, and dataminers will likely be able to tell the rest of the community what to expect. On top of this,Fortniteis quite active on social media, so fans are used to getting hints on upcoming features. Gamers should be sure to complete theirOpening Night Passwhile waiting for more news on this subject.
