Whether music from the band is involved in any way will also be revealed at 5PM.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the collab involves a playable track or two in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-festival-songs\/\">Fortnite Festival<\/a>.<\/p> <h2><b>What do we know about the Avenged Sevenfold and Fortnite collab?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The Avenged Sevenfold Fortnite collab appears to be a <b>custom Creative map <\/b>which may or may not include music from the band. This is based on what the band has revealed online.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), A7X first teased its collab with the battle royale game back in November 2023. In the short teaser, we see a character sweeping the floor next to the band\u2019s iconic Deathbat logo. The track \u2018(D)eath\u2019 plays in the background.

One appears to be a multiplayer map for shooting and eliminations, while the other is a motorbike racing map with accompanying shotgun and turret.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell what it\u2019s all about and whether it will feature Avenged Sevenfold music playing along in the background or not.
